I was lurking over at supraforums.com and they had a thread going about the day you bought your ride, and it got me thinking back...

It was September, still hot as could be, Tennessee summers. I was just back from school on labor day weekend when I got the call. My celi had come in from Wisconsin. We went down to the dealership, and I drove her for the first time, and from that moment, I knew she was going to be mine. I fell in love with everything about that car from the very moment I slid into the driver's seat. She was so smooth. Everything about her just flowed. She was going to be mine.

I almost laughed in an old woman's face when she walked up and started inspecting "my" car. She was aparently shopping, and stopped to inspect "my" car!?? Right then and there, my bond officially formed. She had made some comment to her husband about not liking the door style (no frame around the top) and I calmly told her "You needant concern yourself. I just bought this car."

After the wrangling and paperwork, I walked outside and there she was, freshly washed, shiny as could be, and 100% mine. The first thing I did was to take her out to the lake and stare out over the water. Just stare. With my sunroof open, and the starlight beaming in.

Funny thing is, I still get that feeling every time I slip into her in the morning to drive to school. Every time I see her across the parking lot, every time I wash her. There is nothing like the celica.

They say that a man's first love is his car. While I don't believe that (forgive me celi!) She's still my favorite thing in all the world.

I LOVE MY CELICA!!!!

Very interesting to read all these stories, and yes i read every one well heres my story
when i was around 14 i already set my eyes on 7gc, and knew from then i wanted that car. So for years i dreamed of owning a 7gc. then 3 years later i realized ive never seen a 6gc before, so after reasearching it and seeing a pic of 1999 gt hatch, i automatically decided this is it, f*** te 7gc i want the 6gc. thats when i became determined to buy a car. So for a straight year working 35-40 hours a week, saving every damn penny i earned. My mom from the very beginning told me "you want a car so badly, work and buy one, trust me you will probably appreciate it more" So finally i had a little more than 5000 and decided i need a car before next semester, i am not taking a 2 hour bus ride every morning for a whole semester again. So that morning sometime in august 2005, i drove with my mom to some dealerships, found some accords, civics, integras, but nothing i wanted. Then at the toyota dealership the guys there said they actually just got a celica in! immediatley i told them i want to see it! then there it was my 96 gt hatch in the corner in the very back of the building hidden by 2 rav 4s. it was there only for one day. guy said celicas dont last, and they sell extremely fast. at that moment i said i want it. and i bought it, did the paper work and brougt it home. and to this day im still in love with her
