[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.

You know whats crazy, before I bought my celica, I was trying to buy a astro cargo van so I could haul my bike to the car shows. I got the loan through my works credit union for the van. Well the guy bought over the van, and I tried to test fit my bike in it.....it didn't fit. Well i always wanted the 5th gen vert celica, so a look in the autotrader I saw a 6th gen convertible. Once I saw it in person, I knew it was me. The lady at the credit union was extremely pissed off, because she had done the paperwork for the van. My car had a cracked convertible frame(very expensive). I think the last owner forgot to latch the top and it flew up at speed. To my luck I saw one on ebay for alot cheaper . You never see them on ebay! So like the rest of you, I love my car and its the best thing thats happened to me in a while......besides my ex-girlriend moving out in July!!
