how often do people ask you about your car? Options

[lagos]

now that summer is in full swing, it seems i cant go anywhere without people asking me something about the car! on average i get stoped about 1-3 times a day, mostly young guys but also a few older people will ask me what kind of car it is or something like that.

does this happen to everyone else?

hahaha...it's because they have never seen that type of a bodykit on the celicas, looks like a euro car, not american....they don't know what a Toyo GT4 is in the USA...makes it look simple yet stylish and ravishing...lol...with our OEM US bumper and hood...looks plain...no one pays attention to us...

[JFrost9]

i dunno about all that chacha, i get asked about my car all the time. ( the white convertible). No one can seem to figure out what kinda car it is. Most the time they think its a lexus, but thats about it.

[j0e_p3t]

i get the usual supra mistakes every now and then (i love my de-badged celica). but the real compliment is from the many ppl that think my car is actually fast. haha yeah...

Lagos you prolly now how it is with aswapped celica... its really funny at car shows or parking lot meet ups where people will be like "oh just a celica".. some people actually look see the the turbo and ask a million questions about the car. But yes its funny not alot of people expect a boosted celica.. so its funny. But yes I get questions everyday.. But still cant sell my car.

[dlx742]

i was once asked what year my ferrari was

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I get asked generally once a day. I get a lot of people asking if its the awd celica. Kinda cool that people even know that theres an all wheel drive celica out there. I like the older guys talking to me about my car more than the younger guys

[chacha]

i wouldn't be surprised that they are asking...that's why we love our celi so much...it looks unique, simple and complexity blended together in the body and with sys, along with other variety rare engines in a chasis...that's what caught my eyes...love the 6th gen.

[Kadett]

Since I swapped last week I get ALOT of attention. Mainly youngsters who think, because they hear the turbo spooling, that it is a Supra. But the GT4 is more reckownized here so when front end is finally put un they will understand. Furthermore I want a badge saying turbo in the back. At first is was fun to "kill" them ricer boys from the traffic light, but now it gets frustrating. I moved up a class. Its Subaru, BMW, Audi and even Porsche that I take on now from the traffic light

[CelicaGT04]

I might be crazy, but i have been asked about 20 times if my car was a SUPRA!! when people ask me all i say is "Thats about right" haha. Its crazy that this car is a baby supra!!

[Hanyo]

i get confused for a tiburon.

[presure2]

WOW....IS THAT A SUPRA??....thats the line i get alot...hearing kids yell to theyre friends "thats a badddddass supra!!" is always funny too...
if im stopped, its, "IS THAT A SUPRA!!!?!?!" then when i say no its "IS IT TYYYUUUURRRBBBOO????"
lmao

[Supersprynt]

I get asked, "whens it going to be done" & "is it painted yet" & "when are you going to paint it" all the time.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

People ask me about Erik's car more then my own honestly.

people pay no attention to my car really.

[azian_advanced]

when i was undercoating the car last fall, i've had one person ask me "is that a supra?"
and that's about it.

[brianforster]

I get asked, "whens it going to be done" & "is it painted yet" & "when are you going to paint it" all the time.

thats cause you havent had a celica have all the same body panels in like 3 years

[bloodrain]

not so long ago i was stopped by some mexican guy, he asked me if my car was a mustang.

[rzanology]

i had two people ask me what supra it is. its funny to hear.

[trdproven]

People say my car is an integra. I say it should be the other way around.

[celiracer]

I get asked about my car all the time also. My dad took my car to his work to get it aligned and my tired re-balanced, and he had 5 people ask what year it was, and said that it was a sweat looking car.

[Celicav]

I typically have people that are just not positive that it is a Celica, or can't believe that it is a 1995 model year...I mean the styling is timeless. May get more Supra inquiries now that I have the GT-Four Blocks on.

[Fate]

I get asked, "whens it going to be done" & "is it painted yet" & "when are you going to paint it" all the time.

^^same here. no joke.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Most common thing I hear about my car is when I tell them it's a 1994 model. People always go, "are you serious?? that looks way newer."

I get scattered comments here and there about my car though, alot of the time its if I get out of my car somewhere busy or I stop at a gas station or something, somebody will ask me about it and say something about how low it is and how it looks really quick.

Generally people leave it alone because its not nearly aggressive or modified enough to really draw alot of attention. Sometimes I think thats a good thing around where I live though.

[ImportChick95]

I usually get the stare.. followed by the "what is it?" question.

[Shigexile]

you guys are lucky. i get no attention at all. most of my friends don't even like the car...
they just say, "yeah its a nice car" just to make me feel better while they're driving there 300zx, rx7, civic sir, prelude, jdm front end integra, and all those nice cars..
sigh....
what shall i do....

drop a 3sgte in and show them whats what

[hitcachi]

I get alot of, "Damn what year supra is that?" I love shaved emblems as well.

[celicaST]

i get compliments on my car alot and its pretty much stock. so many stories, but just the other day, i took a girl out in it for the first time. she said it was nice, i asked her if she knew what it was, and she said a supra. true story, i couldnt help but laugh . everytime someone sees me walking to my car, they are always like "you drive that?, how do you afford it?". i cant think of any other car in its class that would get the reaction the 6g gets. thats why i love it.

[Negative]

The funniest one I can think of is when I used to hang with the MKIII Supra club here in Houston we would have our meets at the local Hooter's. One night the girls asked if we were a car club then asked if we would point out our cars. Mine being the only Celica in a line of Supras of course stood out like a sore thumb. Then the girls asked if they could each have a quick ride in the cars during their breaks. The girl that picked my car was really nice and very cute and I of course quickly agreed to give her a ride.
She gets in and is careful not to hurt the car and about block down the road says "So this is a Porsche right?"
Instantly I look down at the Toyota symbol on my steering wheel and the devil on my shoulder says "Yes - just go with it - girls like expensive cars {insert evil laugh}"
Luckily the angel on the other shoulder won out and I told her it was a Toyota Celica.

LOL - I should have listened to the devil.

[My2Celi]

[RedGTS]

I got a "You can't park your Supra there" from an Advanced Atuo Parts store clerk.

[Clipsetuner]

I got asked what model of Celica mine was by another 6th gen owner (local older guy) this is when I had mine shaved... Its just a ST.....

"Thats a werid looking supra"

"Want to sell your car, my Girlfriend wants one" I get that lot.....

DTE

[tufy]

people ask about my day almost 2-3 times every day. mostly asked question is. '' what is the topspeed of your car''. and the answer is ''i dont know i cannot read after 180 kmph''
one day i ll have chance to test it

[massbrandon]

I get about 2-3 per week. Mostly from older people up here in NE. Although the most people that I get questions from are the ones that are driving the Audis, BMWs, and Mercedes. Thats always funny when they ask what year my Supra is.

[Consynx]

my car has been referred to as a 240 twice now already, lol

[Digndoug]

I get asked, "whens it going to be done" & "is it painted yet" & "when are you going to paint it" all the time.

I get that all the time..

I also always get nice supra.. or what year supra is that.

Other than that i always will get a few stars on the highway and a lot of thumbs up from other modded car drivers.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

The courier came into my office today and he said

"you sure got the nicest looking celica around"

i was blushing and saying thanks then he asked if my taillights were stock and I said well kinda. Stock on the GT4 but not here and he said "yeah i thought they werent the ones over here cuz they look different but not cheap like aftermarket ones"

awww...the compliments just keep on coming. I swear I dont go a day without someone talking about my car to me! :-D I have a friend who drools over my wheels everytime I see him.

Now with this compliment im debating on doing a car show tomorrow! hmmmm....

[crismillencolin]

All the young kids shout at my car when i'm about , i'm talking like 7-13 year olds i've had everything you can think of ! one young lad keeps yelling " cool engine " i think he likes my louder-then-life exhaust !

Couple of compliment at petrol stations ,nothing to good ! but the Scots aint quite as forward as most and prefer just to look .

[Glitch001]

You wouldnt believe how often my mr2 gets confused for a 240, and someone had the nerve to tell me "Well its ok, fwd cars can make power to" No clue where he got his information from haha. Well, I guess its off to install a gt35r, cant slack the entire day away.

[Phat_99CeliGT]

I had an old man(70s) stop and talk to me one day. i was drying my car at the carwash and he stopped and was telling me how much he loved my car. HE EVEN KNEW WHAT IT WAS!!
He said he thought it was one of the nicest looking cars in town.

Another guy stopped in at my house and looked at my car. i guess he saw it on cardomain and found out where i lived.
lol

[Michelle95celica]

I was going to rent a couple movies last week and a guy behind the counter asked me how much my insurance was on my Porche, LOL..... and yesterday I was filling up, a kid about 15 or 16 came up and asked if he could look at my Integra...I told him it was a Toyota Celica GT....


Another time about three weeks ago I was cruising through town and these two kids came up next to me and asked what it was, they were like "it's really cool and it sounds MEAN"...which was kinda cool!

[Sh0gunkid8721]

[6th_celi_vert]

Going out of church one day i heard a little boy tell his mom to "look at that mustang"

...i think i got red in the face. lol.


And since my emblems are shaved, i get the occasional Supra comment too and alot of "what the hell is it?"

[devilsden97]

no comments....

Therefore:
A) people hate my car
B) their all to shy to say nething
3) they dont know **** about **** so they dont open there mouths (probally better that way )

[Michelle95celica]
