the first drive, write your first impression stepping into a 6gc Options

[6gcpr]

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.

For me, it was a love hate experience. I found the car in a "field" and basically loved it's lines. It was for sale and I set up a time to come see it. Sat down in it's dusty interior and started it up. The blower was on full so I got a face full of dirt... it was like the car was spitting at me. Let it warm up, took off. Fell in love with the leather wrapped steering wheel, the great weight on the clutch, the smooth shifts. Took some pretty serious corners at high speeds and fell in love with it's handling.

I've driven Eclipses, Mustangs, Camrys, Civics, Accords, Buicks, Cutlass', Mazda's, S10's.... pretty much a bit of everything... This car tops anything I've ever driven in regards to feel, handling, and looks.
