Your first experience, When did you catch the magic? Options

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!!!!

well i have always liked the way the celica looked but i never payed to much attention to the 6gc until i started watching initial d an anime based on drifting. Well after watching acouple of episodes my friends informed me tha the arcade game was here at tthe local mall so i wantted to check it out. when i got there i had to choose a car to use and for those that dont know when you start playing you have the option of buying sort of a memory card that saves your progress throughout the game. Anyway after dicussing it with my friends i got an st205 for the fact tat it was all wheel drive and its not a popular car to use. so i purchased my car a silver 5 speed gt4.
From then on playin with the car in game was really enjoyable and i was different from the normal and well the st205 is just a great car. well anyway fast forward about a year and half and i wa able to buy my own car the hand me down accord wasent bad but it wasent mine. one day driving to school i cross this highway and there some dealerships on this highway and i saw it from the corner of my eye. later that day as soon as i got of school i went to check it out. and it was perfect silver just like the game but a coupe instead ofa hatch but considering i like to be dirffrent i had never seen a coupe all the 6gc i have ever seen till tha point were hatches. Took it to my mecanic nothing was wrong with it other than it was slow lol and a few days later before new years i bought my car. It would be better if i was actually driving an st205 just like the game but this is close enough.
