+1. I bought my AE86 for me, and I could care less if someone thinks I bought it just to drift, or that I bought it because I like Initial D. Granted, I have watched the series, and without having done so, I prolly wouldn't have paid any attention to an AE86 (or known what it was), but I don't have delusions of taking my SR5 on the touge and talking shit to Evo and RX-7 drivers. I drive it pretty fast for what it is (Finally got it up to 110MPH on the way up to Cleveland on New Years Eve, which is impressive for a 4A with 256k miles on it, especially with 2 passengers in the car and a whole bunch of shit in the hatch weighing down the car.), but I'd rather not risk drifting my 86 into a guardrail or the side of a mountain, really.
There's always gonna be someone wanting to talk shit no matter what you drive, but if you bought the car for you, and it makes you happy, fuck 'em. The car's doing what it was intended to do.
