Can you hear the Phonk Already? 👂🏻 Toyota GR86 Duo has a Matching Aura

Candy eyes & eye candy 👀🍬

Through collaborative support, this pair of modified GR86s has been outside, holding it down 📍

However, throughout their posts, they have only demonstrated how it goes down when you put each other on 👏🏻

Leave it to them to deliver the cyberpunk with their iconic Toyota GR86 ZN8 duo popping out in Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺

Leave it to car photographer @blklensvisuals to come through with the painted aesthetics ⚡️

In 2023, how are cars still relevant? In the age of climate change, and a push for comprehensive public transportation, where does private ownership of cars and more importantly, car enthusiasm live?

It’s a tough question, especially as the car community itself is struggling to come up with an answer. Car meets are not what they used to be, and takeovers are becoming the reluctant staple of the car scene.

Races, both on the track and off, are becoming disorganized or are increasingly difficult to find.

Rallies and cruises are few and far between.

The few meets and car shows that are still bringing us together are cliquey and well established, making it daunting for newcomers to find their place.

Where does that leave us? As cars become the enemy, the community becomes disorganized, and the members close rank. How do we sell the idea of car enthusiasm to the new generations when we can’t seem to sell it to ourselves?

We start by embracing the new generation. We remember that we were once the kids making fun of the boomers and their Corvettes and Jean shorts. We stop our inherent prejudice against electric cars. We remember that the world is different now, and it has to be. It’s not going back. This generation will bring dramatic change to car enthusiasm and car culture, as EVs, alternative fuel, and hybrid vehicles become the dominant power trains of our future.

But it’s not just the cars that are changing, the people are too.

No longer is the community dominated by middle aged men.

Our community is expanding to include people of different genders, sexualities, ages, races, religions, and more.

If we want to see any remnants of car culture continuing well into the 21st century, we must adapt, embrace, and include.
