What's funny is most people recognize "AE86" but not Corolla GT-S.
If someone asks what I drive and I tell them "an old Corolla GT-S" they'll want to end the conversation, as images of 1994 front wheel drive, 4 door Corollas float into their head. Then I say "you know.. the old AE86..."
And they'll suddenly light up and start asking all the normal questions;
"do you drift it?"
"do you watch initial d?"
"does it have a 20 valve?"
"you should paint it panda"
"have you ever watched BMI?"
"do you want to watch initial d?"
"have you heard of Taka?"
but see thats the thing...you have maybe the only popular corolla in the import scene....if you just mention...yeah i drift in my old skool corolla...they arent gon think of the family sedan they seen at tha red light...that can be related in person ( then visually seeing it) or without an image of teh car....
what im speakin of is a lil different...i can say yeah i have a Si....more then likely, they are gon think of teh 99-00 as they are the more popular version....
i was just saying that teh Ek, EG, and Kouki refrences are played out to me...just call it whats its meant to en " a civic dx" or what have you.. but im thinkin you get where im comin from
