GR86 "That's a fresh whip bruv"; or the Toyota GR86 collated feedback thread

Isn't that part of the tactic - deliberately misidentify a car so you engage in conversation to correct them? :p

Time to bump this thread back up - it is the best thread on the forum after all.

So my wife has been driving my car today while I'm at work. Yes, it makes me very nervous. Especially when you consider the reason she is driving my car is that she crashed her's into the back of someone yesterday and wrote it off!! It's been a tough day for me mentally.

She decided to call by my work and say hello. She'd just visited remains of her Kia at the recovery yard to get her stuff out of it, where the guy there was - in her words, "literally gushing over the car". He said:

"I've seen these on line but never in real life. It looks amazing, can you fire it up so i can hear it? etc etc"
***praying he didn't mention the price of importing an AWE Touring***

"I've always loved those wheels, they really pop off the black"
***praying he didn't mention the price of a set of RPF1s***

Me, "did he ask if it's a supra?"
Wife, "what's one of those?" She knows her stuff :)

Hopefully my beloved will be in one piece when I get home, and my wife will be alright too.

I experienced tension reading this, especially because of the crashing/writing off element. Emotional rollercoaster.

I am thankful for the happy ending and I DON'T mean the bloke "gushing over the car", you dirty animals

Hopefully he mentioned the saving you made getting in black instead.

Two in a weekend:
Yesterday, waiting for my fiance outside the local shop, she gets in the car giggling - she overheard someone say "there's a guy sitting in a really fancy blue car, do you think it could be someone famous".
Today, as we walked up to the car, 2 young lads passing by, one says "I like your car, it's cool" so I say thanks. As they walk off he says to his mate "Sick car that... sick'.
