Previously owned cars?, What have you had? Options

[JFrost9]

Well like many other O/T posts, im extremely bored and got to wondering what all the celica owners out there have owned before. I know some of you are hardcore toyota enthusiasts or anti-hondas. Just thought id put it up, not sure if this is a repost. POST PICS if ya got em!

I use to own a 1991 Chevy s10. (Parents bought it brand new back in 91) and became my "First car". It was white, and pretty much stock. I spent more time just keeping it looking new then putting in new parts. But After i saved up enough money i sold the s10 for 2k and bought my celica.

[JonMarkos]

Ahhhh....boredom...isn't it great...

My first car was a 93 Ford Taurus, a hand me down from my brother that I finished driving into the ground. Next up was a 94 Ford Probe GT, that one was sold because I had no maturity for it and got into trouble. Then came a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, unfortunately offroading on ice and a few other factors led to me wrecking it within a month (poor thing didn't even get the in-transits off ). Up next was a 99 Ford Explorer that I just recently traded with my brother for his....1997 Celica GT Limited Edition, WOOT WOOT .

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

Celica was/is my first car. I do have a 1995 200sx SE in the driveway too.

[bloodrain]

first car was (here come the haters) a TT 300zx, got it as a pregraduation present from my grandpa, totalled it, got a 96' caprice, gas started raising, sold it bought the celi.

[devilsden97]

First car:
93 ford escort wagon....forest green (the pimp ride.....not really): Dad totaled it on a local highway
Insert major upgrade here:
05 Toyota Matrix.......factory red: dad took it away when i purchased the celica (was originally intended for dad anyway)
Enter the Celica Era
95 toyota celica.....pull me over red: still have it and love it

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

i remember a turboed chrystler from the 80's the neons back then lmao "it was stick too lol"

after that it was a 88 ford bronco. set on fire once lol "automatic"

she got rid of the bronco and got a 1990 honda accord DX. i woulda kept it but it didnt have power windows or locks, but the only good thing was that it was stickshift and no vtec!

After that came the $350 '95 ST which ended up having frame damage and turned into a parts car, and then I got another '95 ST parts car to replace several damaged pieces from my Yelli Celi vandalism incident. And finally, last fall I got a '91 Sentra SE-R for my daily driver.

frist and only other car i owned. 87 Supra N/A automatic. All it had was a 2.5" exhaust system from front to back, and a crappy short ram.

[95CelicaST]

My first car was a 1974 Ford F-250 with a built 460 crammed in it. Gas started getting higher, so I traded it for a 1992 VW GTi. Handled good, piss poor audio quality, and the guy I traded for it just forgot to mention that something on the thermostat broke off into the engine, it sucked. Sold it for 3100, paid for half my celica with it. I can get some pictures, but I'm at school.

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

oh yea i forgot about the old 88 toyota pickup truck my dad had, that thing was an off roading machine.

[airfron]

1995 Chevy s-10 4cyl- now 1 of my brother's 3 cars
1966 Chevrolet Chevelle- totalled on a tragic 4th of july night
i loved that car in spite of the 8mpg or less that it averaged
this isn't it but i didn't have the car long enough to take a picture
but looked almost exactly like this one




now i drive a 94 celi

[soulshadow]

1.) Camry '93, still with me but a little danged
2.) '95 Honda civic EX, went straight through a fence and died
3.) '95 Celica ST, still with me but a little banged
4.) '95 Subaru Legacy, Engine shot-Jdm engine went in & waiting for final phase for testing.

Im thinking after my celica, that Im gonna retire from this performance mod / racing world and buy a nice Lexus IS300 or if im rich a 350 and cruise around with my buddies and pick up girls.

[fanboy95]

My first car was an 85 Chevy Camero, then an 89 Buick Centry, 78 Plymouth Arrow, the 89 Ford Crown Victoria, now my 95 St

[vsideboy]

do I win the prize for having the most cars then?? yey!

and you all make me laugh when you complain about petrol prices going up so you traded down to a celica!! Our petrol is 94p a litre and that is cheap for this country!!

[TomPoz]

2nd one: 1998 Skoda Felicia, 1.3 gasoline without any power at all. ;-)

Then gas shot up and i got...

pretty much stock aside from the sound system

Timing threw off on it, we could never get it fixed, so i sold it and got a...

V8 Automatic

New Orange Paint, 17" american racing wheels


I then sold it and got...

My first celica, a 1994 GT automatic

17 inch yellow wheels (ugh)

I riced it out, because i was young and stupid and couldnt afford anything else (i even had a nitrous sticker on a n/a bone stock car...LOL)

1995 Chevy Camaro

V6 3.4 ltr Auto.
16 inch american racing wheels
Cheap dual exhaust
Sound System (this one really thumped)
Custom painted (i was proud of the paint on it, i created the scheme myself)
