Longer video about a GT86 Nurburgring rental car. Mods, Maintenance, etc.

So they are 3 gear boxes in and they still haven't learned to shift? How can they eat so many transmissions? Unless this is a rental car, then probably customers that dont know how to shift.

It is a rental car.
People in general can't drive, so the average person takes it out and does nasty things to the drivetrain.

Apparently they lost an engine to a money shift as well. Car’s lived a hard life LOL.

I like how they had one person who rented another car, then took the 86 out, decided the spend the rest of their time in the 86, then stay in a hotel so they could come back the next day and spend the whole day in the 86. That was fun to hear.
