I've been in love with the "AE86" corolla since I laid eyes on it. My neighbors had a AE82 (in USA we just refer to them as "old corollas") and I liked it for some reason. The first AE86 I remember seeing was when I was 11 years old, It had the amazing pop up headlights which I love so much in a car, it had style.. nice body lines and character. I like aloooot of cars.. and when ebay first came out (like 5 years or more) I searched for all of my fav cars. The 1984-87 Corolla became one that I searched. I remember a 1987 GT-S with power windows (Hatchback) sell for 1400US in very good condition. My dad paid for half of my first car so I had no judgement of what transmission type.. it had to be auto and 90+ Honda. I ended up settling for a 1989 Celica GT covertable. Then went a 1988 Prelude. Still wanting a AE86, not for drifting... but just for the style. The first drift videos come out.. I'm shocked... theres that little corolla making those tires cry for mercy! I get my first AE86 SR5, my friend says its got the "White Panda" paint job like Initial D, I asked him what it was... watched the video and it was only fuel to the AE86 fire. I also played Gran Turismo... bought it after fully building my CRX, then I fully tuned it and won a few races... it wasn't very fast or good at handling compared to other cars but it just had style.
