My 1 year aniversery, This year has been good to me. Options

[creis]

(first pic i ever had of my car, in the prevoius owners yard, they sure grow up fast. I remember when my dad told me about it for sale at his work, and how anxcous i was when I heard it was a 5spd, one of my deciding factors.)

Original cost: $5200, Payed: $4800, Total to date: $9000, (about, after new motor, etc.)

This week marks my one year aniversery of owning my celica, its been a year full of new things for me, My celica is now the first car that I have owned for a full year

It has been a year of good and bad but it has all evend out. I'ev been thinking about my crash (when i lost my civic, rear ended buy a new volvo), and at the time how mad /sad i was, but now looking back I cant help but think how it has changed my life for the better.

I remember our first drive together, my test drive with my dad down 405 a lil ways and back, i remember taking it home right when i bought it 3 days earlyer then was planed because i could not wait, thinking how cool it was, and the potential of it. not to mention how nice it was to have a 2.2ltr under the hood instaid of the 1.5ltr

Its been a great year, and i hope that i have many more. I look forward to the end of my 2nd year when i hope to have my supra rear end and frunt bumper conv, as well as a new paint job, and 18" wheels, and of cource the CT-26.

That story warms my heart for some reason.... Glad ta hear you and your celica are happy together. Your story reminds me how I found my celica...

Me and my dad were looking around for the 6 gen celis for awhile... we looked at one celi that looked similar to yours, HB blue touquoist color. (your is a hatchback right?) Yep, was close to buying it too for about $7500...

Then the next day my dad came home with an autotrader magazine, and called me to look at this one celica... He flipped to the page that was marked and the first thing I saw was a little white convertible 6 gen celica. Instantly I was hooked and fell in love with it, but my first reaction was.... "A Convertible? You gotta be kidding me!" (cuz at the time, my dad wanted me to get a coupe and only a coupe, so him bringing a convertible up was kinda a shock)About 2 or 3 days later, I bought my celi convert for $7000 and ever since then, I've been so happy with it.

Yep... my 1st aniversary is coming up in the spring, but glad ta hear that your happy with your celica. Good luck with your plans, Im sure they'll look great once your done
