Could get rid of the celica sooner than thought Options

Its such a beautiful car, you should keep it for fair weather use only.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

^ thanks Randy. yeah it will be kept.

Yeah I want a new car and id probably feel 100 times safer in a new car. The celica has 230k miles on it...thats a lot of miles and yeah its been driven hard but its been well maintained but it still scares the crap outta me.

[fastgt]

you wanna be scared....take a ride in my car!

[presure2]

nat, what are your tires like?
i cant tell you how much better the car feels in the rain with the michelin pilot sport a/s i bought a couple months ago.
as far as lighting, i find the celica somewhat lacks there, unless you aim the lights up higher than they should be.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I think everyones misunderstanding. When I have a fear in my head it will consume me. Ive been afraid of being kidnapped since I was little that I would sit there and cry about it in the middle of the night. once I have that fear its set.

I have brand new tires. So those are good. yes it needs an alignment tho so my dads going to pay for that sometime in the next week or so. The lights are fine when its dry but those damn orange street lights make it so i cant see the road at all as well as when its wet i cant seem to find the lines.

buy a new car, the g35 has a lot of new safety features the celica doesnt, and if you enjoy it, just stay with the community. But im telling you, g35's are LAAME get a lexus!

[tomazws]

I too agree with Lexus.

i would like to hear your reasoning as to why a g35 is lame

[Glitch001]

Actual tangable evidence? None whatsoever

I dont like it, thats all, I hate the look of it, it reminds me of the 350z.
I just dont like certain cars, but thats why there are many diff makes and models right?

you not liking the way it looks has no bearing on the car itself....the look of a car does not make it lame

[Glitch001]

Lol relax dude, she asked our opinion and I gave it to her. I think its to big, heavy and bubbly for my tastes. Hense in my book lame = not spending money on it. If you like it that doesnt mean EITHER of us is wrong, like I said. There are many makes and models lol, but seriously Blackcelica go get a new car. test drive it, if you actually FEEEL better in it, then get it. Cars are for transportation and enjoyment if you dont enjoy it, then dont suffer through it.

i actually dont like the look of the G but i dont consider it lame....hell i think the evo looks like a$$ but i respect the car..

and nat i would seriously reconsider the g35 ...or at least test drive it on a rainy day

[BlackCelicaGT94]

yeah imma go test drive it this weekend in non rain weather and then test it again in rain if i like it. I want something new as in something new to play with and newer as in years. I <3 my celica and I probably wont ever get the feeling I do when I see it just right as the sunsets and its parked. Its a sight for sore (or in my case blind) eyes. lol.

[Glitch001]

As long as your tires are good, rain shouldnt be a problem if your a careful driver. I dont drive my rwd car in the rain, to spin happy T_T

[Chanh55]

Lexus FTW!

[fastgt]

my Z is my Daily Driver so rain or shine im out there....i have the base model so traction control...but fortunatly i can control my car so i dont really get scared....unless there are puddles on the freeway...thats some scary crap right there

[lagos]

yes it needs an alignment tho so my dads going to pay for that sometime in the next week or so.

man, your poor dad. whos going to be making the high payments on the new car? your looking at something like 600 a month on that car.

if your car feels unsafe and needs an alignment, then thats probably why it feels that way.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

My poor dad? He enjoys working on the cars this is why he doesnt let me touch em. He likes doing the work. Ill be paying the car payments. They pay my insurance so ill pay the payments. He wants me in a lexus so he said I need to test a IS300 and 350 before I make any decisions.

[Glitch001]

both of those cars are beautiful, but i didnt like the is300's backseat. Since my car HAS no backseat the 2nd needs to be able to lug around sacks of junk (a.k.a. my lazy friends)

[snapshotgt]

This sounds like a sociological problem that is probably backed by alignment issues. Another reason you may feel "safer" in other newer cars is that they are generally bigger, and have much more sound deadening …thus, rain and lightning do not stand out as much.

Personally, I see it quite silly to buy a new car just because you freak out sometimes ...next, you'll end up locking yourself up in a cell so you cannot be kidnapped! jk, lol.

p.s. Not in anyway saying newer cars are not safer!
