Hachi-Roku - what is it?

A Japanese phrase that literally means "Eight Six"; as opposed to "Hachi Ju Roku" which would be the correct way of saying "Eighty Six"

In North America the phrase is used by posers to describe rear wheel drive Corollas built between 1985 and 1987.

I wish I had a hachi roku so I could drift like an initial d, I also wish I was a Jap, and not a virgin.
