The discussion above was about getting a vin like JT1FT86CxCL2386 or JT1FT86CxCL0586...etc.

Some do care. Colholm would like it to end in 86. Some will care others sill not.

I always make sure I get the EXACT VIN i want because when people come up and ask about my car always the first words out of their mouth are "hey nice car do you have a cool VIN?" and im always like "well yeah duh" Specialized VINs sounds like alot of effort for something not really important....but if it floats your boat then hey give it all youd like i know i wont care what my VIN is.

82mm 4g63 · 08-13-2011, 10:05 PM

I'm only going to by the car with this VIN...
JT1FT86CxCL133786

That way I'm sure to have the leet'est 86 in the country.

I would assume that if the mag/edmunds meant a jan 2012 release they would have printer "Early 2012 release" like most people..

Toyota saying production version ready for tokyo motor show, and that's at the start of Dec.

A winter launch for a RWD sport coupe is a terrible idea. Edmunds is full of shit.

switchlanez · 08-14-2011, 05:13 PM

Edmunds is basing their projected Winter (early) 2012 release on the fact that the production version will be unveiled at TAS this December. It's stupid marketing to generate interest in Dec 2011 then make consumers wait a year during which they can change their mind about getting the car. Once a fish is hooked on lure, you don't wait a year to reel it in.

Having moved to atlanta from Detroit... If I ever see snow that sticks around for more than a couple of days again, it's too soon.

Yeah, it's beautiful. I used to garage my RX all winter long and drive the Talon(AWD in the snow ftw) around until it warmed up. Down here I don't have to.

Screw that. Florida = flat/straight roads, old people, and way too f'ing hot weather 9 months out of the year, decent weather 2 months, and kinda cold 1 month.

Whenever I lose my job I'll be searching for a new one outside of FL
