I'm drunk, let's talk celicas, still drunk... Options

So, celica Dont have that good of a following. They are slow, not to stylish, can't handle as well as other cars; but why are we drawn to them? That's the real topic that runs through my head every day. Yes we love them, but why?

My experience: I bought a 1990 celica off a old b....... That was my best friends ex Gf. She said it needed a bunch, I'm a tech and just nodded when she said stuff. I put a few hundred bucks into her and she drives like new (the car, not the chick). It had over 350,000 miles on it and in winter I could rip the e-brakeand sit her sideways even on a straight road, and could handle it perfectly like a go-kart (again, the car, not her).

I had to sell it due to finding a shop who actually cared about people and not just the dollar amount coming in. I tarted my own business and needed a van I saw for sale with a tommy gate in the back to lift my small tool cart back and forth. It cost as much as I sold my selly for. I kicked myself ever since because I adored that car and control.

I fell in love with the 6th gen body style besides the flip up headlights. And honestly you can find more up for sale. So I'm sinking 2,000 into a car that's worth 2400 kbb on private party. Just so I have an almost new car with special features that you can't get in the USA.

What's your story?

A) Fell in love with her while test driving her.
B) Got her for $1200 because of "high mileage" (psshhttt 200k is nothing for a yota.)
C) Second car, had little money from totaling my first, then got into an accident and had to rebuild the front end myself. Sooooo after that happened, I realized my mechanical skills and started doing so much work to her.
D) As slow as she might be, she feels fast while driving and handles amazing despite the completely worn bushings.

I could go on, but cars are like girls, you fall in love with them for certain reasons. Despite there being some downsides, you focus morely on the positive things.
