Ok first off I have owned 5 cars:
90 Geo Prizm Hatchback- 190,000 miles (sold for 500 cash) 94 Celica ST Hatchback- 94,000 miles (sold for 4900 cash) I began looking for a cooler car than a prizm. Narrowed it down to a Prelude, Eclipse or a 7 Gen Celica. All 3 of them were outta my price range. Until I looked at Autotrader, I had only seen 5th and 7th gen celicas. When I was in high school I was assigned a parking spot next to a girl in a different grade who had a 5th gen. Everyday I walked past it and I really liked the styling. Saw 6th gen for the first time in a picture...I really liked it. Test drove a Silver fully loaded 95 ST hatch 5-speed that a local guy had. I told him that i knew how to drive stick but it had been awhile (LOL man was I lying). That was rough, he sold it an hour after I left his house. So then I found a 94 ST Automatic Hatchback. Guy let me drive it by myself on a Saturday morning. I was coming up to an intersection and some kids were having a car wash, and when i was stopped at the red light, a kid came up to me and said hey Mr. do you want your Celica washed. Hearing "your celica" totally sold it to me haha, Im so cheezy). Bought it for 5700 with 80k miles. I couldnt afford financing it with my outrageous insurance so I decided to sell it. 92 Geo Prizm Sedan - 130,000 miles (Got sandwiched on the highway) 93 Geo Prizm Sedan - 160,000 miles (Bought for $900, daily beater) 95 Celica GT Hatchback 5 speed - Got a new job making roughly twice what I was prior. Found it at a local dealership. Bought for 6000. So much more fun with 5 speed and 2.2L engine. Plan on keepin her till she dies. If I start making like 40,000 a year then 3S-GTE swap will happen
