Out of context quote is out of context. Here's the full quote:

The Toyobaru gives you time and space to savour the experience, much in the way you would in a Boxster or Cayman in fact. It'll dance about on its skinny tyres when you want it to as well, which'll please the hooligans among us.

My apologies for the repost; I did not see it in the main BRZ forum threads.

How is my quote out of context? Nothing written after that quote negates that quote. It was meant to be a counterpoint to Toyota's stance that the 86 is a track day car

It's the first sentence and the first sentence of a larger paragraph with a point. You're only conveying part of it, regardless of your intention.
