More than a year ago, i purchased my 6gc from a couple who had a collision accident in the rear left quarter. I bought it for$ 250. The car was left under a tree neglected and the interior was full of garbage, had no altenator, no taillights and a broken shifter cable. Needless to say i had my work cut out for, but i didn't care, the car was unique, 12 years living in puerto rico and i've only seen a handful running around, you can't even find them in the salvage yard. Over the course of the year, i've stripped the interior, ripped the fenders, bumper and spoiler off, sanded the car all myself, and have bought a number of gt4 goodies. Its only been a month since the mechanic was able to get my car running. But today was my first time driving. It was everything i had hoped for and more. There i was driving my celica for the first time, car sanded down, the driver door being held closed with audio cable, no taillights, windows closed because im in the process of wiring in the power folding mirrors, the sun high in the sky, no license plate and sweating like a pig. But i didn't care, the feeling of the 5sfe coming to life was amazing. Peoples heads turning because there's nothing like it on the streets. I didn't care, because soon i'll be driving my celica in the streets of puerto rico knowing that im driving a rare car here, where only a handful exist. That was my first impression and i invite others to share that moment with the 6gc.

learned to drive stick on a friend's 6gc, and immediately i wanted the same car, everyday i checked online for a good deal to come up as I knew that 6gc's are a little hard to come by in hawaii. I remember before I bought my car, I was stopped at a redlight and right next to me was a beautiful white stallion 6gc, I could not keep my eyes off her, she was exactly what I wanted and I wanted her soo bad. When the light turned green she took a right onto a freeway onramp and i watched her until she was completely out of sight as if she was teasing me and calling out to me. "gooooddd byyyeeeeee," she said. I knew that day that I would not be happy unless I had one of my own.
