35 and older thread Options

[FORGMANN]

Turning 40 in few months curious how many older owners we have on forum.
As Celica gets older and cheaper the majority of owners get younger which is
to be expected. What keeps you interested in Celica and not moving on.?
Friend of mine is 44 and has 2 very nice tuned ST-185s .My body guy and
also good friend who also 39 has a ST-185,MK1 S/C MR2,Widebody 93t mr2 with 14k miles,
AE86, and tuned 2dr RAV-4 all RED !


I bought my ST205 as 30 birthday present and 10 years later finally get to enjoy it .
Already told fiancee i will be buried in it . Totally look forward to restoring and developing
to modern standards . Look forward to sunny weekends as that is only time will be driven.
Amazing part is i have almost more mileage on my 2013 XV . Only 8k mile difference for car
only year old vs 20yr old car .

I'm a hit 33 in Jan. I came over from the Mustang world not too long ago. I had 98 which I owned for 10yrs but unfortunately I had to sell it due to financial reasons. Anyhow I picked up a vert last year and its just been such a blast to own. The drop top is such a difference from the sliding sunroof, its just fun, and the motor is easy on the gas lol. I have no plans at all to ever sell the Celi, besides BMW's and Mercedes are a dime a dozen now,, they other day I pulled into a gas station and an older gentleman was on the other side of the pump sorta looking at the Celi,, I didn't think much of it, but then he comes up to me and says, nice car you don't see many of those around anymore so hold on to it. Which is kinda cool to hear. Anyhow, correct me if I'm wrong, I think between 1995 and 1999 - 18,000 Celica Convertibles were ever made,, if that's true someday she's gonna be a classic,, maybe I'll throw an Antique license plate on it ahhahaha
