Strictly speaking, yes off topic. Does it add value seeing it to an 86/BRZ/FRS enthusiast? I think it does. But that's just my opinion.

Will be more careful next time

That's not my point... your video had nothing to do with the main purpose of this particular sub-forum.

Even the chief engineer of the car admitted the styling of the car was borrowed from the 2000GT coupe, and not from the first-gen Celica.

If you can see the heritage in the Celica, then I can see the heritage of the FT-86 concept car from a resurgence of drifting brought about by the 180SX. Both are difficult to prove, and your position is as hard to believe as mine is.

Anyhow, in a perfect world you would 1) post this thread, and I would 2) voice a complaint about it, and 3) the mods would move it.

I have yet to see any moderator fix these badly placed threads with any zeal. It's almost like they don't care for these off-topic threads in the wrong section.

It would've been done already, but I broke my hand last week so it's at a stand still for a bit.
