Im curious as to what all the comments people get on their car are. Most probably dont wanna start a thread just for a comment they got so heres a place you can write it down so we can see what people say about our celicas when were out and about.
Date - December 2, 2006 Location - On the Ferry Boat Remark - Little boy with excitement yelled for his dad to "come look at this cool car" Date - December 21, 2006 Location - Pulling into a parking spot at work Remark - worker from a business next door "wow that car sounds fast. How much horsepower are you pushing out" Feel free to add your own when you get them! Either add on to your original post in here or add a new one. -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

There's plenty of kids asking "how fast does it go?", "does it have NOS?" , "Is it a Supra?"

the last compliments ive had were from people on the other side of the boarder. one was some kids in Toledo when i was lost lookin for directions. he was like chillin infront of some quick stop or somethin with this really really hagard dodge caravan and was like "YO!!! NICE CAR MAN!! ILL TRADE U ANY DAY B!"...lol
then i had some guy when i was in white lakes michigan ask me how fast ive taken my supra on the highway...lol i told him it was a celica and i told him 160..but i didnt say km/h and he freaked out cuz he thought it was mph. then he relized my ontario plates and calmed down a bit..lol other than that, ive gotten alot of thumbs up from people on the road while driving. Last one i got was coming home from windsor and i had some guy in a ITR come up on me really fast on a 2lane section of the highway and wanted me to go faster, so i booted it from about 105 to about 150 and let him pass...but he wasnt expecting it..so he was kinda blown away by the acceleration. |

I have had a few people ask me what I have under the hood. A couple people gave me a good look and a thumbs up. One girl called it a "sex car"

My celica hasnt really gotton any attention whatsoever. My deuce has gotton some really wierd comments.
Random Gas Station Guy 1: Nice car, sounds throaty and mean. Me: Thanks Guy 2 & 3 not related to 1 : Whoaaa how crazy mang. Me: Thanks, just getting gas. Guy 2: Is that thing twin turbos? Guy 3: ya right, this cant beat a supra Me: No single, just a big single Guy 3: Supra smoke you right? -Blank look- Guy 1: One day man youll have a fast car, and rwd to. Not like that 240 of yours. Guy 2: Oh this is a nissan? its not a 300z, lame. (walks away) Guy 3: So it just sounds loud? (walks away) Quickest conversation in my life. Nice probe! (How lame!) Cool 240...DRIFT IT MAN!!!!!1! (more often than you think) As far as good ones, on the freeway people taking pictures. Someone asked for a ride after HIN (eire to think maybe he was gunna follow me home or write my plate down) And after I was getting my new trunklid someone said it wanted it, and would offer 10,000. I woulda sold if 12,000 haha anyway. Even after my dad got hit by a drunk driver taking it for a spin some lady saw me working on removing mods and said. Dont sell it, it looks great from the other side im sure youll fix it. Feels good to think someone out there has a similar taste as you do. |

Too many to list. LoL. Just kidding. I just don't remember them all. Here goes.
Location: CITCO Lube Express Comment: Technician - (Technician glances at my car eyes wide open.) Is that a Supra? Me - Nope Technician - Damn. Looks really nice, just like a Supra! Is it a Toyota? Me - Yep. A 6th Generation Celica. Location: My work parking lot. (After work.) Comment: Friend of co-worker (keep in mind he owns a supercharged Cobalt SS) - (Glances at my car all around) Damn... I like this. You plan on selling it? Me - Hell no. That's my dream car. Gonna convert this baby to a JDM GT-FOUR. Friend of co-worker - What's that? Me - Go look it up and you'll fall in love. (Smirk on my face.) Friend of co-worker - (LoL) Alright. If you plan on selling it, you know who is interested. Location: Forgot the location. Comment: Jason (JokerKid) - You plan on turbo-charging your celica man? Me - I was thinking about it but I heard it kills your car. And I plan on 3S swap'n it anways. That money might as well go towards the swap. Jason (JokerKid) - (Nods)... It sure sounds turbo charged. Location: My work parking lot. (After work.) Comment: Dang (ex co-worker) - Damn... that's a nice car. Me - I know, I love it. Dang - (Opens up the door and looks around the interior.) Toyota sure does uses good material. The inside looks almost similar to the MKIV Supras. Me - Yeah, in a way. Dang - Man, I want one of these now (Keep in mind he has a fast ass F22 Turbo Accord). What are the JDMs like? Me - GT-FOUR? AWD 2.0L 260HP Turbo'd. If you want, I'll email you some pix and vidz. Dang - That's cool. Yeah, I'll appreciate that. Location: My work parking lot. (After work.) Comment: Dang - You mind if I take your car for a quick ride? Me - Sure. Just be careful man. I don't usually trust people but since you know how to drive, it's ok. Dang - Don't worry bro. I gotcha. (Gets in car, and hauls ass around.) Dang - (Comes back.) Dang, I love you exhaust sound. It sounds turbo charged but without the blow off valve. It's quicker than a Accord F22 suped up too. Me - Yeah, I get that from people sometimes. I might as well throw in a blow off valve to make it sound turbo. (LoL) That way, it'll match the exhaust. Dang - (LoL) That'll be hilarious. People will think you actually have a turbo. Location: My Gym Comment: Tang - (Opens up the my door to look inside the car.) Do-mah! (He is viet.) Racing seats! Oh my god! Me - They are stock seats man. (LoL) Tang - But still, look nice! Location: My work place. Comment: All Co-workers - Nice rims Adam! Very nice! Location: Street Race Meet (Unknown) Comment: Random Guys: (Some random guys come up to me after I finished a race.) Hey man, wanna trade rims with me? Me - No. I like these. But what kind of rims you got? Random Guys: Same ones but white. Me - Nah, I'll stick with Polished Aluminum. Random Guys: Damn... oh alright. Real nice rims by the way. (Leaves) Me - (Smiles) Some more but I gotta remember. Alot more.

"Dude what did you do to your car to make a turbo honda feel jelous, a 5s even with bolt-ons prob wouldnt even be in the same league with a turbo accord." LoL. You got it ALL WRONG. He wasn't jealous. He was "AW'd" by the car. I guess he grew interested in it. In the enthusiast world I come from, it's not about who is the fastest and who is in what class or league. It's about props and respect for what customization is done to ones car. He was giving me props on my car. And oh yeah, he was comparing to a all motor F22. Im very curious, why do you street race your celica? Cool props that these people go crazy, but you know some ricer ass people lol. "Putting a fake Bov" "It sounds turbo". Nonetheless, if the car makes you happy enjoy it, I just am curious about people who think their car is fast and putting parts that "look" fast on a car instead of actually making it fast. Ok, I only said that just to make a laugh out of it becuz people keep saying my car sounds turbo'd. Just needs a Kuh! sound at the end of the exhaust sound. I didn't mean I really WAS going to do that. It'll be pointless and a waste of money. Does it look like I have a huge spoiler on my car? Or even carbon fiber everything? I don't think my car is fast. I only have exhaust and intake just becuz I expected better from stock (which was lame IMO). To be honest I don't street race anymore. I just stand by and watch. And even if I was to, no one would want to becuz the way my car looks. Sad but true. But my car is getting old (185k miles) and I'd rather not risk anymore money into replacement oem parts. I'm actually saving up for a BEAMs swap as of right now. Oh yeah, funny you mentioned that becuz a year back I went into a Dodge dealership to look into a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS that the dealership claimed to be turbo charged. I loved it. Black on black. When I popped the hood to look inside, no intercooler, no turbo. I saw a blow off valve but it was welded onto a short ram intake. I asked the dealer, "Wait a minute. I thought you said this is turbo'd? I don't see any intercoolers nor the turbo charger?" The guy responded, "The turbo is this tube right here." And pointed at the short ram intake with a blow off valve. I said to myself, "You got to be joking right?" And then I said, "This car isn't turbo'd. Do you guys even know what turbo is? Just becuz you guys throw on a blow off valve to make it sound turbo doesn't mean it's turbo'd." The dealer guy looked stunned. And then I said, "You guys think you can get away with that? You are charging people $5000 ($12000) more than the supposed dealer price for a 2.5RS with 110,000 mileage." The dealer guy just stood there looking AND feeling stupid.

the two that stick out in my mind are-
1.) When my parents were looking for a house on the St. Croix, the real estate lady who my parents were dealing with happened to be at the same gas station as I was a couple summers ago. She had no idea who i was, but to give you an idea of what kind of lady she is, she wears more rocks on her neck than what a crack pipe has in it on payday... needless to say, she was walking into the station and took a glance at my car, looked at me, and said "sexy car, makes me want to be young again", smiled at me, and walked inside... 2.) A very sexy young lady my age one summer helped me the first summer I had my car at a dairy queen drive thru. When I pulled up to the window, she asked me a few questions. "Wow, your car is shiny, where do you take it to be washed?" After telling her I do it myself, she said "well, I really like how clean you keep your car. It's so sexy", and she stared into my eyes. I obvioulsly wasn't interested in her as much as my cone so i politley said "thanks", and she then took the hint after confiding in a couple co-workers who graduated with me... She still made it a point to tell me that "i should keep my car clean, because it looks very sexy"

That's the 'Combat' front bumper by Andy's Autosport: http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=parts&itu=22 It follows the contours and styling of the celica very nicely; most definetley my favourite front bumper for the st202, without a doubt.

Had a guy last night follow me from the gas station to the car wash. He asked me what kind of car it was and then said I did a good job making it look nice. I said thanks and he said and it sounds good too. I cant believe the guy followed me 2 miles to the car wash just to tell me lol.

Lol. I remember cruising along on Rt.3 in MD and this little VW Golf or something creeped up and next thing I know we're doing 120 down the highway (I wasn't racing mind you). He was racing some other car and I was just there. Anyways, since whatever car he was racing raped him he was egging me on when we pulled up to the light to get off the highway. He was like "what do you have in that thing!?" And I said "an intake..." he responded with "And...?" I guess he was dissapointed. The expression on his face was priceless! A "nice car" and a "thanks" followed.

While driving in Massachusetts I get pulled over by a Mass. State Trooper. I get a ticket for going 97mph ($300) but.... As i'm getting ready to pull off and the trooper gives me a lecture on young kids and speeding, he ends the conversation with "You wouldn't want to mess up your sweet ride". That brought a smile to my face.

I had one today, actually about 20 or so min ago. I hadda drive my buddy home from school cuz his car 2 of the coil packs went. He lives like 40 min away in a small tiny town. Any ways, i hung out with him for a few min then headed home and i stopped in this small town called Essex. Its got like 200 ppl in it or so and around here, import drivers are barely around. Its usually muscel cars, domestics or trucks. If your drivin a honda or toyota, ppl give u weird looks. Any ways, so i stopped in at KFC for a snack and i parked my car in the back. So i see some kid riding his bike towards the back and i see him eyin my car. So he disapears for a few min and then i see him come in the front door. Hes probably like 15 or 16 if that. Im sittin there eatin and he comes over and starts askin me about it. Hes like "dude! that a supra or a celica? Its hot man, its a bit of sleeper eh? nice car man, i wish i could have somethin like that but its too hard to find somethin that looks like that around here." then i told him its gonna b for sale soon and his eyes lit up, but when i told him ballpark price i want for it he asked me if i could hold it for him for 4 years so he can buy it..lol. The guy works part time at the KFC. It was kinda cool to get a compliment about it in a town that doesnt like imports.

I got the supra question once, and I didnt even had the spoiler at that time.
My co-worker saw my car once as I was leaving the parking lot, as he takes the bus and rarely see cars in parking. He looked at the car smiling and turning his head. The day after he said, man you car looks mean! --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

yesterday I was helping somebody I work with out to their car (yep, that's what I do... I pu the groceries in the bag, then I take them to your car... pathetic, I know) and as I was loading up her car she asked what I drove. I pointed to my car which was two parking spots away and she says "oh, that's a cute little car! are you going to paint it?"
I usually get that one... the "are you going to paint it?" question. cause it's a teal car with a dark silver hatch and light silver fenders, plus some massive oxidation on the hood and roof... kinda ugly... -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

I always get comments while in the line of a fast food drive thru... The people saying, "Hey man, nice car. Looks hot." or "Clean car, you gonna sell it anytime soon?"
One time I had a guy in a 95 supra tell me that he liked my car. he said it was nice to see a 6th gen celica in that good of shape. I also get the whole, "Is that a supra?" ...no... "well it sure looks like one..." ...ok... Thanks, i guess... Lately ive been getting comments on how loud my car is for having stock exhaust. My coworkers ask me if i have a gutted cat or any mods to my exhaust, But they all say it sounds sweet and really good for having just intake. And one of the guys has an rx-7 so i take that as a pretty good comment. This post has been edited by BluuFire: Jan 20, 2007 - 3:07 PM --------------------  |

Driving home a Collegue of mine last monday after a game of poker. Went on the highway when he says "Well it doesn't feel that much different then before you swapped" I was just cruising/normal accelerating up to that point.
I stepped on the brakes (nobody visible in rearview mirror, 4 mile straight) and said, "You want to meet your creator", and looked at him (Just like Paul Walker to Eva Mendes in The Fast and The Furious 2 in the green Evo) and them floored it up to 112 (speed limiter). The look on his face alone was worth the entire swap Since then he's been begging to drive the car So the compliment was the look on his face and the fact that he cant stop talking about cars/tuning/performance when he's around me.

Time to bring this thread back from the dead.
At work, just talking to kill time... coworker:"Dude, what year is your car?" me:" 96' " coworker:"Seriously? Damn! Everytime I see it I think 'That thing's got potential' " then we spent 20 minutes chatting about our cars and our mods while one of the other guys was listening in and trying to make sense of our conversation lol I like that no one expects our cars to be as old as they are

lately I get a lot of "Damn, is that thing turbo!?" "Nice set-up!" or "Take me for a ride!" which, after the ride, is usually followed by "holy crap! are you sure you're not making more than 200 horsepower?"
