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? This post has been edited by lagos: Jun 4, 2006 - 10:02 PM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

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...

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

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. ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

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.
