Just saw a thread alike this on a UK celica forum under generation 7 celica's. Found it pretty funny to read.

I'll start out

At some place i lived earlier, The neighbors kids was like "Wow, is it a porsche?".

When i go to some drag racing places, People always love it, I had my drags with it . I only was racing a BMW 325 vs my 3sge. it won 1 round and i won 2 .

Anyone else got some stories to tell?.

Dont worry, Its very arranged, At an industrial area with volunteers with self lighting vest's making sure there is no one racing with any "civilists" in the area

We are fighting hard with the goverment from all areas of the country to get some legal area's, Untill then, We will just have to arrange it ourself (Many many thousands if you include the whole continent), There have never been any persons harmed in the 10 years in the whole country. So i wouldent worry . I only dragged once, Mostly watching

When people says "street racing" i think people misunderstands it as some guys hanging out in the city racing from one street light to the others. I understand why people dont like that, I dont do it either. But those arranged street racings, Long away from any civil people and with people with walkie talkies making sure everything is safe before any cars drag hegother, I think its perfectly okay.

Most people who attend to this stuff in Denmark, Does it because we love cars and have a passion for them. There is idiots out there who drives too fast, On the websites with cars and stuff, People have the exactly same opinion as we do, if they see a video with people racing wildly in the cities they also tell them they are unresponsible

Back to topic please

Street racing is a taboo because it takes a certain mind to appreciate it. Most people here either don't have means to do it or can not afford it or just simply repeat someones words. Yes there are irresponsible street racers such as 15 year olds who just got their driver's license and cant drive in a straight line let alone handle anything faster than a kia.

Street racing is no more dangerous than a teenager who is driving and texting or a soccer mom who multitasks or a half asleep guy who is weaving all over or an old person who cant even see above the steering wheel. When done responsibly street racing can be fun and safe at the same time. It happens all over the world and it does not matter if its bikes, cars, scooters, horses, camels, bicycles, pogo sticks... as long as you put 2 men with 2 sources of transportation... you will have a race.

I do not recommend street racing but I do support it. After all that is why all of us want to put power modifications... to go faster than the other guy... ideally a lot faster.

When I was washing her, a guy walked by and said "Wow, dad's letting you wash his car huh?" That was a pretty big compliment.

But opinions seem very much polarized; either people compliment or say "WTF, it's just a Toyota...no big deal."

[cheela]

funny how off topic you guys seem to have gotten. but yeah, anyways. I do get compliments on my car. It's always funny cuz everyone's always like wow, that must be a fast car. it's so cool and all that. but they don't know i got an ST. hahahaha

[flyinglizard]

I get compliments everywhere I go. All my coworkers and boss drool all over my car. The other night after I installed my splitters I rolled to in-n-out and there was a meet full of hondas and nissans in the next parking lot over. As soon as I parked my car a crowd of people walked over to look at it bickering over whether or not its a supra or an 8th gen celica

And the other day at the golf course where I work there was a guy standing there looking at it in the parking lot. I went up and talked to him and he said he used to have a '76 celica liftback and it reminded him of his car and complimented my car saying it's the most beautiful celica he had ever seen

little old ladies at my church appreciate my car. lol all my car guys tell me i have a clean ride... haha

[Euphoria]

a little old lady guessed my car was a 2005 model or something haha.

[Espo]

I get looks and stares as I drive everywhere - on steelies, even though I am lowered, with some minor damage to my hood.

[2celicas2love]

yes when i had my '94 st black, with 18's and fresh paint people were always asking about it (rip), my new/old '95 red/pink/ oxidized mess or whatever you want to call +the banged up passenger side panel, not so much a few that are into celicas/toyotas have said it will look soooo good when it's painted and body work is complete ...so yea....

[hatchy_gt-s]

The only time I ever get complements is from Honda people(for some reason IDK), a few older gents every once in a blue moon. I understand though, it's the down side of living in Cincinnati.

C'mon... this is Europe . Many nations, many countries, many points of view what is legal . So just let's leave it...

... Anyone else got some stories to tell?.

Nothing special at all... "Nice car" I heard on gas station last weekend from guy driving moped . That's all.

[Tigawoods]

people know me by my car.
when im out places people i dont know are like "arent you that kid with the blue whip with white wheels?"
its a head turner

[Shigexile]

celica's are not really appreciated in my area...

never get compliments, not even from car friends.

in the end, a celica is just a celica

[samir0189]

-i'm always getting a thumbs up
-one old lady asked me... no told me i must have a great job to be able to afford such a car (thought it was a latest model)
- some one said nice supra
-kid in a rental minivan (tourist) used his disposable camera to take a picture of the car, lol
-guy asked me if it was for sale recently, even though the car hadnt seen a wash in months.
-etc.

I was in the 2nd to left lane on the freeway today (right by the hammer lane) going about 70mph and a G35 came flying up behind me and slows down right next to my car. There was about 6 people in the car and I swear all of them had there hands against the window and were just STARING at my car and pointed at it. I just kinda laughed, and after about 2 mins of them cruising next to me, they took off again.

SO many people have no idea what kind of car mine is. It's funny.

yup that happens to me quite often as well..... minus the 6 people in a G lol

people dont see celicas often so they dont know what to think of them i guess......... they just stare and wonder.....

[ElementGT4]

ehhh ive gotten "is that a supra?" about 3 times twice on my gold celi and once on my recent one

[lilgreenyoda]

Hahahaha. I remember once I had my windows open. There was a house on the corner with a group of 7-8 boys around 9 years old. As I took off from the stop sign I heard like 3 of 'em go "WWWHHHHOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!! SWEEEEETTT!" Lol

[Promasta]

some girl who works at toyota thought my car was a supra. lol wtf.

[Heindrik]

I always look in the mirror to see if people turn their heads... Alot do lol...

Today i recieve a complete bodykit + Raiser blocks (last thing coming in is JDM tails).

When its done... Omg its gonna take some attention

[joehernandez]

-an old lady came to me and said "boy you have a really nice car, my husband loved it but he didn't had the guts to tell you" lol
-The first day i was washing the car, a guy passes by and says " nice supra man!" i was like okeeeeei.
- on a car show some gangsters passed by me and said "your car owns the show"
- on my past job i saw at least 8 guys take pictures of my car, 3 old men, and 1 little kid lol
-Guys ask my coworkers if they know the guy with the GT four and tell them to tell me "your ride is awesome"
-at least 9 guys have tell me my car is a supra, 4 of them have even argue for a while.
-like 5 guys have asked me if that is the newest model of the celica, i am like "i wish"
-NO KIDDING ON THIS ONE BUT 4 guys and 2 old men have come to my work just to tell me how much i want for it!!!!
i am likee,, do you see a sign on the car or what?
- Also 4 cops have stopped me to compliment my ride, and they dont even give me a fine, one of them followed me almost 3 miles
just to see it wasnt right hand drive lol!!!!
-A group of Bikers ride along me for 8-10 miles giving me thumbs up!

[808celica]

"Mean your Teg!" ------ "......its not a teg Noob"

"Supraa???" ----- "if you think so"

"Nice rice mobile" ----- after we do a run, make cry baby hand gesture and say "Anything else to say??"

[Slash]

Just after washing mine an 8 year old asked if it was a Lamborghini, and my Celica is currently as stock as they come bar tinted windows haha

[Hope604]

My story happens alot to me...Maybe to you guys too....

One day, seen one of my never hangout friend...he was like...Wow you drive a integra now? you upgraded....(because i drove a civic back then) And I am like, no Its a Celica. And they are like no...I am sure its a integra...afterall...I will just ask them to look at the steering wheels.... One surprise answer was....Toyota steering wheel fit on integra?

[OOBE]

I wouldn't even talk to people with that much level of stupidity.

[Hope604]

Old friend...Cant just say no..I dont want to talk to you...Hah

[OOBE]

It's funny that I always get compliments from people of all ages. "Is that a latest model?" "Is that a Supra?" "Is it twin turbo?". I ask my friends with expensive cars if they ever get compliments and mad props and they tell me they never get any and that they don't even turn heads. Isn't that weird? I've driven by people behind let's say an M3 or ZO6, and they totally ignore them and stare at my car. I look in the rearview mirror and they're still staring. Sheesh, that was when it was black. I bet now with all the carbon goodies and the blue paint job, people won't leave me alone.

We have an old, cheap car, yet people don't know it and they think it's expensive and fast. I'm cool with that.

[blu94gt]

When we bought our house last year the Celica got neglected since I spent all my time working on the house. When I finally got a chance to wash and wax it my neighbor came out and asked if I got it painted. He was like "wow I didn't think the paint looked that good, I thought it was just faded and dingy"

Otherwise the most comments I get are just that it looks good for a car that's over 10 years old, or that it looks faster than it is.

[str8thugginit4ya]

I've gotten the occasional "Nice Supra" & "Nice ride man!" This older lady stopped me just to tell me that she likes my wheels. That's about it.

If I didn't "know" you, I'd call complete bullspit on that. I've never had that experience.

People in FL don't seem to care..maybe they're spoiled by the rich snowbirds with Ferraris (at least in the south part)?

[black13]

yea I've had the "nice supra" compliments a couple times.

Worst one was "is that a Tiburon?" wanted to slap him in the face for even mentioning that POS car.

[zfjohnson07]

the first day i drove mine to a gas station someone was admiring it, asking about it and what not. now that i got my cf hood everyone who drives by stares it down, they pull next to me and kinda have a grin on their face. not to mention all the eclipses and acura integra's who notice my car now..

[Dyran]

All the time, Celica's are pretty common over here but not the GT-Fours, so it turns a lot of heads when I drive by, I suppose the bright red paint job helps too lol. Get quite a few comments, pretty much always positive.

MAybe ppl think it's a real GT-FOUR cause of the blocks and the badge?. mine's debadged and when i drive "a little hard" (shifting at 3500 rpm) imports always gun it beside me like im racing them.. like wtf i dont even have a fart can leave me alone. ANYWAY:

some middle aged man saw my car BEFORE it got painted. asked me if it was 2003 or 2004 model. LOL i said 94 and his jaw dropped. Went to drive my friend to mitsubishi dealership and 2 of their dealers came out asking me where i got it. 1 of em actually asked if it was the real GT-FOUR. I bet Kloudkicka gets a whole bunch of compliments.

[4-eyed-freek]

when i tell ppl my car is a 94 they just give me this stupid look and ask what is it, and then u tell them its a toyota and they all freek out b/c they think its going to take off, its so stupid. but i have gotten many thumbs up in town and the freeway.

[rave2n]

Gotten the usual is that a Supra, some rednecks in a truck stopped at a light, yelled "Now that Celica is a one good looking car" with maybe 3 teeth in his mouth, last (final time) i took it to a shop got compliments from all mechanics on its cleanliness for age.

Do get alot of turned heads and such, but I stay a constant route most the time, and I think they are getting used to seeing me now =P - Considering i'm the only one in Greenville that actually has something past stock. All the other 6gc's are older ladies...drives me up a wall.

Saw a beat up ST the other day selling for 1800. Rear panels were all dented, and had a bit of a oil leak...but came with 17s =P - Didn't purchase it myself, but saw it driven away by some....illegals..thats a nice word for th at.

[zfjohnson07]

wow these are some crazy stories. i cant believe some people over react when they see the car. i know they look good but jeez lol.. now im impressed. ive had a mechanic ask me if my car was a supra and i laughed saying i wished..

[trdproven]

I get stared at by the Japanese tourists, or wherever I go, I get comments or staring.

[OOBE]

These stories are awesome. Keep 'em coming. I will chime in once I put my car together. I'm sure it'll be the awesomest cock magnet of my area.

You know, Celicas are cheap cars. But it's cool having one and having a hot lady ride shotty, because the other guys get jealous.

[tara]

You know, Celicas are cheap cars. But it's cool having one and having a hot lady ride shotty, because the other guys get jealous.

It's even cooler being female and driving your own sweet GT-Four, making the "other guys" jealous.

I haven't gotten many comments yet, but I sure do get a lot of odd looks - including a few hilarious double takes.

[OOBE]

I was gonna say that, but glad you swinged by the thread.

[zonz540]

I get the most on my HID lows and fogs. I pull up to Autozone or Checker and they always ask me where i got the bulbs and how much it cost. I tell them they are HID and they are always disappointed that they arent super cheap, plug and play.
The hatch spoiler (rear window visor) usually gets the attention of WRX or STI drivers. Theyve told me that it makes my car look "nasty fast" or "mean."
My 5th gen mirrors also get attention. I was in to have my car aligned after putting on new GR-2's and Sportline springs and the guy at the desk asked if they were stock because hed never seen them on a 6GC before. He said he liked them and that it was a good swap.
I usually dont get rubbernecked or have double takes. There are a few 6GCs around and they are either driven by old women or ricey douchebags that recently came north from Arizona.....

[tara]

I think the double takes I get are largely related to the fact that I'm female and driving a RHD car. I guess people don't expect it.

[trdproven]

For me I am the only celica that is fixed up JDM style so people look twice because theyre not sure what kind of car it is. and to be looked at by the JDM tourists is a compliment. Where I'm from Japan tourists is one of the highest in the world.

[paul52]

the funniest thing ever happened to me was one day i was with my girlfriend tooking her back to house at night and i saw at the rear mirror and there was a red 5th gen celi mostly stock and we both stopped at the red light, when i turned my head to saw the other celi it was a girl, really pretty one (hotter than mine =( ), and he said me "i like your ride" i said thanks and my gf was soooo angry lol

another day i was waiting for a friend at mcdonalds and sit next to the window to see my celi then a heard 3 guys and a girl talking about what car was that when suddenly one of them stand up with his celphone and started to take pics next to me. i looked at him and he laugh, then my friend came, we ate and went out when i opened my car and looked back the others guys were laughing at the one who took the photo and he turned sooo RED haha lol

while driving some people has said me nice ride

Last Tuesday I went to Joliet for work boots. On the way, a blue Celica GT passed me.
Nice Celica!!
When I parked, a guy across the street knew it was a 6 gen, but not year.
He asked if I was restoring it. When I said I want to " make it a decent driver " ,
He said " Man you got your hands full!! "

Comments; most like that.

[Spider77]

I get nice comments from the guys I work with, mostly cause they know how much work I put into her. I did have an odd conversation with the cop who came out to make a report about the damage done by the neighborhood kids. Talked quite awhile about it, he used to own one too. Of course get the looks from the DSM and Honda guys as Im cruising down the road. And recently the Macco guy gave me some pretty nice comments as well.

[Shigexile]

i finally got a compliment on the streets by these older folks!!!
they asked what year my car is and that it is really nice.

the downside? i was driving my girlfriends 7gen GTS action package...

so for the close to 7 years i owned this car i got maybe 1 or 2 compliments and the 3rd day girlfriend owning the 7gen, she's already getting compliments? i guess i'm a little jealous

[cheela]

I love the stares and double takes after I just washed and waxed my celi.

[block]

a little old lady guessed my car was a 2005 model or something haha.

lol. yeah people think my old celica was newer. and i get the "is that a supra?" it gets annoying.

I love the stares and double takes after I just washed and waxed my celi.

celicas are sexy when washed and waxed. ohhh how i miss mine

I deliver pizza in mine, many customers comment on my car (always positively) and I always reply to them have to make the job enjoyable. so um yeah I get paid to drive my celi vert all day long with the top down and the tunes up. sometimes life is good

[GriffGirl]

I get comments on my car occasionally. One time I was in my driveway working on my car, and these kids, they must've been like 10, skated by and were like WOAH, NICE CAR! It cracked me up, they said it like it was a Lamborghini or something.

Another time I was in my driveway working on my car, and a guy walking buy stopped and said "Hey, nice car. A girl, working on her car... that is SO hot" and I just smiled and said thanks.

I get comments at gas stations here and there too, by the attendants (it's illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon lol). And two days ago I was driving home from work, stopped in traffic, and noticed a spray-can primer black Integra next to me, with a FCUKED up bent rear rim and was thinking Ouch, that SUCKS. Well the guy saw me look at his car, so he did the "Oh, YEAH... " nod/smirk to me, and then revved his car up so I could hear his crappy little fart can muffler. So of course I returned the favor with a deep growl of my exhaust. He smiled and nodded approvingly. lol

[whatthe]

Quite odd today... I dont usually get much compliments while driving but today was a totally different story.
Driving home after work i turned 2 heads checking out my car and driving infront of me trying to get a look at my front end.
A motorbiker giving me the thumbs up. A chick in a Suzuki Swift Sport eyeing my car out.

And last thrusday a teen blonde eyeing my car and eyeing me haha. Good times good times.

[cheela]

got a parking notice that read "toyota tercel"... >_<

LOL
sorry, that's funny and sad at the same time.

[HectortheRican]

Well since I fixed the collision damage, she definitely looks A LOT sleeker. I've been turning heads at least once a day now. And I purposefully parked next to a Supra the other day to take a picture but then the owner walked out and looked at my funny.. so I chickened out aha.

[mkernz22]

I've gotten a few head turners and once I was cruising up in Hull and some random old fellow waved and gave me a thumbs up

[Justin8358]

i was at a gas station and this guy got out of a blazer and started tellin me how he was really into cars and said that my 94 was a 2000. he was surprised when i said it was a 94 and he was 6 years off. then he was tellin me about how he wanted to try and get one.

[99celiGT]

ever since i installed my GT4 hood and spoiler people seem to mistake it for a supra......just wish it was as fast as one

[TRD_Ian]

i get the hey is that a supra, or nice supra. iv gotten.... is that the the awd twin turbo model?. i mostly just turn heads, like every were i go ppl just stare. every nut at a stop light wants to race me. but just recently while in a mc dicks drive threw i had the server... a very good looking girl by the way hold the line up for 5 minutes talking to me about my car and asked if i could take for a drive in it after she got off work, and this is with my gf in the passanger seat... that girl had some balls.. conversation ended quickly after that when the gf asked for our food and cranked my sub, i smiled...blerped the exhaust a lil and took off

[mgnt232]

haha that is ballsy of her
there are literally NO 6th gen celis around me so my car is always being noticed lol. I get "dude is that a supra" all the time...because people are retarded lol. some times I just go along with it

But constantly people ask, hey man sweet car how fast it go?, or wow that thing must be fast! I used to tell them the truth when i first got my car... ya know how the 7A is the freakin slowest car ive ever driven lmao
But now (i get alottt more attention with the invader kit) I bull**** people and tell them, yeah i got her up to 180 and its a twin turbo, or never topped out lol (people are so gullible)

And at stop lights people always want to race, and ill rev up and with the intake and exhaust even my 7A sounds BEAST and people say nah u'd blow me away, or ill tell them you dont have a chance and....they believe me. Except some dick that owns a ferrari that I have seen twice (his parents bought it) and hes like "nice car..NOT! ****in piece of ****!" and obviously im not going to race him lol, but i do wanna get out and beat his a$$, just cause he has a mommy and daddy car that he put no effort or work into >:o

[HectortheRican]

haha that is ballsy of her

Dude, same here. "Hey is that a Supra?" Is the norm noob question. "Go get in your sissy Supra" is the normal teaser from my friends. Hahaha

[zfjohnson07]

this guy at my work was like man i like your car, and when we were leaving he was like you need to put your stock rims back on and we can paint those rims on the car right now. i kinda laughed and said those are my stock i painted them, and he was like damn they look good but we can make them look better... then the next day he rented this ford 150 2005 reving it up and i said lets race and he was like oh **** your car would probably blow me away like nothing and i laughed

[mgnt232]

hahaaa yeah people dont know how not fast the ST it hahaa
especially if you get any kit or lips looks fassssssssssst

[yarik83]

Stinkeye, Gooseneck, Compliments. I think I have heard it all. People who are into cars will make a compliment. Everyone will gooseneck but rednecks usually scream something indistinguishable and I just rev engine in their face or scream back something sarcastic.

[captb]

looked up this thread just to bring it back from the dead.

girl and her boyfriend were debating if it was a supra or celica. they eventually asked, and the girl won. lol

[Greyform]

The other day i was at outside my work and i saw some guy in a MR2 parked next to me staring at my car, i walked over and asked him if he liked what he saw and then we talked for awhile about cars but it was still cool.

some guy in a modded civic is always talking about cars with me when i see him at my work,

some dude in a BMW was trying to race me one day as i was going home, kinda flattering i guess.

[eboz74]

I live in Lansing Michigan there are hardly any imports in the city let alone convertibles and i make sure to keep my car clean (especially when it snows). I'll get kids in Pontiacs or neons who try to race and people who always try to ask if my car is fast....3sgte on the way lol

[3WayStunna]

Dont know if this falls into the "comments" catagory but usually ppl ask me what kind of car i drive when i happens to be talking about things automotive related ppl tend to ask me....

"so what car do you drive"

And then i respond...

"a celica"

Then they always say....well 90% of the time they say

"oh"

[4-eyed-freek]

kids and teachers at uti hate it! just hate it...its a rice burner and slow..

on my way home my girlfriend and i went to mcdonalds drive through and the girl loved my car..that was nice of her hahaah

[mkernz22]

I don't get too many comments with the 2 tone color haha
maybe i'll get some once the car is painted!

[wadeos]

In New Zealand there are very few gt fours around.
I have had people ask is that a celica ? or nice bonnet and bumper.
When driving, my celica seems to turn a few heads too.. (:

[kavy]

Went to pick off some spares for my dads vehicle at a garage the day before yesterday and a group of natives surrounded the car as i pulled up. After i was done with chatting to the shop owner and went to my car,t'was still surrounded with the guys asking me what car it was. There's just a handful here in our little country. I told them it was a celica.So i got into the car,started it and just when i was about to pull out,this dude approaches me with a smart look on and face and asks "Boi,power steering??" .Yer,so i nod and roflmao right after i get past them.

Hey, well I live in the Caribbean(west indies) on the Island of Nevis from the federation ST.Kitts & Nevis, look it up on google maps,
My island is just about 36square miles. I have one of three ST205 and there is one ST202 on the island, only one of the other two ST205 is running, but my
celica???? boyyyy it turn some heads
I don't drive it through town that often but when I do, guys who are sitting on the side of the street stand up, I can see the person driving infront looking in there rear view mirror, persons passing on the other side of the road looking down at it and giving me a thumbs up. lol oh on a daily basis some random person would just say, "yo d boss!, dis an big ride yuh gat yah!"(a lil caribbean accent for ya haha). Girls tryna get with me just to get a ride in it, guys roll up at my car parked outside where I work and begin snapping photos with their phones or digi cams. Just recently I came outside the job in time to see two fellas just staring away at my car, so I approached and said" yuh want it fi buy nuh?" he responded " me no got dem kinda money deh, what is it a supra?" "nah!, a Celica"

[slvr_celica_GT_8...]

every now and then i get the random nice car or hey what is that thing, my cars had wheels a drop new paint and a supra style wing done. i really need new pics.

[jlive]

I don't hear anything, Maybe its because my car looks like $hit from the outside. What can I say, its a work in progress.
