Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Usually, I would say a typical Japanese salaryman would contrast heavily with a Toyota Corolla Levin AE86. However, the photo below proves me wrong: the salaryman is just as panda as the paint scheme of the AE86!

This is quite literally Max Coveri’s Running in the 90s: wrecking your panda white Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 by running it into a ditch!

This must be the best dad in the world: taking his daughter to school in a white Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR32! School runs were never this short and fun unless your dad owns a Skyline GT-R!

Welcome to another AE86 Wall of Shame and this week, we feature a Dutch AE86 with a BMW 5-series complex! I found this car for sale in The Netherlands about six years ago and saved these images for later use.
As a basis, a German two-door Corolla GT AE86 was used. We know this is the case because only in Germany the combination of a two-door car and Haslbeck trim was sold. We can still see the Haslbeck trim present in the form of the front spoiler, side skirts and boot-lid spoiler.

I’m sure that the phrase More Collage Excess Prelude by First Molding will be identified as being written by AI if you pass it through an AI checker! These random words aren’t as random as you might think!
The company in question is called First Molding. No, that’s not a spelling error, it’s the American spelling of the word moulding. The name has been derived from the company’s origins.
