The Toyota AE86/Hachi-roku is a small and light FR (Front engine, rear wheel drive) corolla that was manufactured from 1983-1987 and was popular for drifting. The AE86 had a 2 door coupe and a 3 door hatchback version. It also had two front bumper versions as well, the Levin and the Sprinter Trueno. The Levin had fixed headlights and the Trueno had pop-up headlights (Note: Pop-up headlights are cool as hell and need to come back). The AE86 weighed only 2,300 lbs and had a weight ratio of 50:50, making handling predictable and easy. The Hachi-roku was powered by a inline four 4A-GE engine making 128 horsepower with a 5 speed manual or a 4 speed automatic and a live rear axial. This car has grown in popularity due to the anime Initial D where the main character Takumi Fujiwara drives his sprinter trueno against other street racers. It has also been driven by the drift king himself, Keiichi Tsuchiya (who popularized the sport of drifting). The 86 later went on to inspire its successor which was developed by Toyota and Subaru. This new car was called the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S in North America but was called the Toyota 86/GT86 in Japan.
All hail the king of drifting cars and tofu delivering.

Hoplites were heavily armed Greek footman.
Hoplites had a spear that was about 8-15 feet long called a doru/dory
The xiphos was a short sword that was used as a secondary weapon when the doru/dory was broken or lost
Lastly, hoplites had a large concave shield called an aspis/hoplon. The inside was a thick wood and the outsides were made of bronze. Hoplites wore bronze breastplates along with greaves to protect the legs and a corinthian/chalcidian helmet. (P.S. they wore more types of armor but I don't want to list all of it)
