yup, they are looking for "americas toughest car", which means they will be destroying a red kouki coupe, but aside from the destruction, this should be good.

The Volvo and Caprice are no surprise....but I don't really equate AE86's with tough lol. Still I broke a bridge with mine and only bent a control arm and tensioner rod....

I planned on replying to this yesterday, but I had a seizure and was hospitalized when I saw that a Corolla was taking part.

How dare you, when I crashed my coupe and lost it for 2 months I was damn depressed and missed it XD But great now I gotta watch an episode of U.S. Top gear right after watching U.K. (proper) Top Gear after their great review on the new 86 =P

Look at it this way: They blow one up, the rest of our cars become rarer and more valuable. <VBG>
I just can't help thinking, "America's" toughest car should be one that was made here, not just bought here. Not to mention, calling a riceburner TOUGH??
ROFLMAO.
This is what happens when you don't force the kids to go to the Demolition Derby.

Wow..the bashing of the poor little red coupe still continues huh? Look i see the little comments & remarks..
kinda high schoolish' dont you think? Common guys, the star of that show will always be that coupe! Fawk the other two cars, just the coupe! Can we now focus our energy on keeping our cars alive & runnin? Cause since that damn show was aired, there's now one less 86 in the world..

"It's hard to kill a Toyota sometimes.."
What do they say in the dinosaur movies? It's too damned dumb to die.
Which can be a good thing. No traction system to fail, no electronics in the transmission, no 8-way power seats to jam, no automatic dimming rearview mirror to fail....too damn dumb to die.<G>
