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?

They are very well engineered.

Based on the number of them I see putting around, older Hondas and Toyotas are unkillable
