6G Celicas Forums

Well, I sold my '96 and got a '99. I needed money pretty bad, but didn't wanna lose the sexyness of a 6gc.

My new red celi is an auto and has sunroof, leather interior, 54k miles, wheels, exhaust, etc. Shes not nearly as sexy as my old 96, but my plans are: ditch the spoiler, rear body piece, customize the front bumper (don't wanna go ground kit because the CA roads are hell), 1" lower (again...CA roads), shave door handles/rear washer/antenna, Mold bodykit pieces, paint Red/Silver/Gray, projectors....and years down the road, when I get more money....3SGTE w/ Tranny conversion (of course).

I'm definitely gonna miss all the head turns with my silver beauty, but I did what I had to do. Glad to still have something thats kind to the eyes, and glad to still participate in this community.

I told the new owner of my car about this site, but not sure if he'll make his way over here.

Anywho...yeah....

wierd... How much did you come out ahead after selling the old one and buying the new one?

Sold 96 for $7k

Congrat with the purchase of the new 6gc

That's an odd financial decision you made there, especialy considering how sexy your old celica was... more debt, less sexy car?... why not just refinance your other celica or take out a signature loan?

As I said, it began to get pretty nerve racking driving that thing in So Cal.

The more I think about it, the more I'm glad I did it.

it doesn't compare.... but it's nice

I don't remember many bad roads in socal when I lived there a couple years back.

But congrats on the new purchase. Looks like a lot of potential, and you have like zero miles on her too. Look forward to the mods.

i always loved the 96.

Hey...you gotta do what you gotta do! Im happy your still in the family!!!

bboy

I hope you told the new owner to come sign up on the site

dodsons celi is on the move once again. good luck with the 99

that is because souther california has some of the best roads in the country... no ice, snow, humidity, or harsh weather to make them bad

im with u on this one..but whatever makes ya happy

I am glad you stayed with us. You made the correct choice

A lot of pot holes in the freeways (I-5 and I-10, my regulars).

Even with a perfect angle, most driveways will grab the body kit.

Have to slow down to 25-30mph to go over railroad crossings.

etc, etc.


I babied her to the last day...and can't imagine what would have happened if I was an agressive/careless driver.



LOL...how can I forget grinding my teeth when you slammed it into reverse? I guess you weren't TOO bad with her...at least you knew what you were doing. I'm just very sensitive when it comes to my babby Can ya blame me?

Bwahaha, 25-30 over a crossing! I come to a almost complete stop an continue to cross at about 2-3mph, and i go onto the oncomming lane to miss pot holes if i gotta.Dont wanna mes up my 1200$ rims that took me a year to save up to ya know? lol
