So I got to work today, was browsing Craig's List, and came across a '95 Celica with a salvage title for sale. I was out of work on my way home and then to Seattle within minutes. Three hours later, I was the owner of this:













Yeah, it's pretty beat up, and purple, and a slushbox, and the tranny makes lots of noise at idle, but I'm very happy with it. Drove it three hours home with no problems at all, despite being told it has a blown head gasket. The car has 114,000 miles and the engine and tranny both feel strong and smooth.

Whaddaya guys think? I don't think it's too bad for $350. biggrin.gif

One right here too. I'm keeping my turquoise. Maybe I'm abnormal, but I really like the color. I just get so tired of the whites, blacks and silvers (no offense to any owners of white black and silver, they look great, their just not my fav.)

I've got no plans to change. I'm painter my new hood and bumper this color.
