BULLSHIT!
Although a great exercise in diversity that is not in any way the "focus group" for this car.

Well, not to mention that these are the only three 86s that will ever be driven through a mall that way. Not really sure the one really go up to 86MPH in the parking garage either.

It was some nice driving though, pretty sure I couldn't do it dingless.

If you're gonna drive thru a mall, do it right!

bcj · 03-23-2022, 09:42 AM

Good promotion in favor of abandoning more malls.
Where can I get an appointment for a session?

Stonehorsw · 03-23-2022, 09:49 AM

Liked that, also used as a good hook/ easter egg for the Corolla.

LancePower · 03-23-2022, 10:43 AM

Changed my life.

Lantanafrs2 · 03-23-2022, 10:48 AM

Will Toyota warranty any power train damage?

Sure, as long as you don't post the videos on every social media outlet. Who's gonna know?

That's how they get you.

Toyota: Here is your free track day, enjoy!
Owner: My car has developed power train issues, I still have warranty can you fix it?
Toyota: ooh sorry, looks like you took advantage of that supplied track day.
Did you not read the fine print that stated it voided your warranty, no? ouch. Let me total the bill for you to repair it out of pocket.

In all seriousness I am sure they will but honest about it and honour warranty claims if any. I am just bitter because a) they don't offer the track day in Canada and b) my order from October has not been filled and now with the Sold Out status doesn't look like I will get one this year.

This one is more in line with my actual use case, despite my track day machinations.
