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?

Me. Just started my family a couple years ago. Only had one car. Saw an ad on Criagslist fell in love with the body style and her curves. Had her for a month
month had some issues(minor egr tps tune up etc....) . Made me want to sell her. Actually i tried for a week. Put a ad here and craigslist. Glad no one did. Started reading a bout how to fix cars and all this other stuff ( new nothing about fixing a car ). And got her running again. Fell in live and never looked back. Also seeing everone elses celly made me even more in love. Especially the gt4 style made me more passionate. Just wish i would have got one earlier
