Well, after joining the military, I had to regrettably sell my old Celica:



I was heartbroken as I lover her dearly. Thankfully though, I was lucky enough to be stationed in Okinawa, Japan; where Celicas abound! So I was blessed with the luck of finding me a 1998 SS-II with the beams motor with only 78000 km. (that's only 48500mi) The car came pretty loaded with power folding mirrors, auto climate control, and the automatic has a performance setting (holds gears longer and downshifts quicker) or a manual setting in which the auto shifter acts like a clutch-less manual. (Keep the stick in 2nd and it will stay there, even when stopped and then starting forward.) I am slowly playing with it and going to change and mod but at the moment I am having a blast driving it around (it's hella fast). Any suggestions as to what I should do would be openly greeted! smile.gif

Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments! I'm actually stationed at Kadena AB. Haven't been here that long but liking it so far. The wheels are Advan Racing, RCII series. Sadly the previous owner got too close to some curbs and they have a little curb rash on them >.< One day I may get them stripped and powder-coated though.
