So today started off going to a BBQ/Toyota meet. Good turn out, only 6gc there though. Anyways, on the drive back, I started noticing a knocking noise and hoped with all my might that it was just the road. So I ease off the gas and the sound goes away, so I'm like, "awesome, it's fixed!" Wrong. My Celica decided to say goodbye as I coasted to the nearest highway exit. Pulled over to the side of the offramp, stepped outside, and saw a puddle of Celica blood. I was rolling with a caravan too, but guess who volunteered to take the rear? So after my caravan left me haha, I called a tow truck. The tow was expensive ($200) but oddly enough, the tow truck driver happened to be a 6gc owner hahaha. So I gave him the site info because after seeing my Celica he wanted to know where he could get all these parts from. It's odd that going to a Toyota meet, I can't meet any other 6gc owners, but I can randomly meet one on the side of the road. I haven't posted much here lately but thought I would give an update on my situation.

I was left alone, how sad. I think there's a Celica curse, in where bad things will happen to whichever Celica is last in a caravan. I just have to get this one back up and running in 3 days, because I think I can only leave it parked for 3 consecutive days. Luckily I have a few backup Celicas I keep in case of emergency. Always gotta be prepared. When it's back on the road, it will be back and better than ever  . Then we can celebrate by having a 6gc meet  .

I haven't really thought too much about a swap (due to space to do it), but I've been looking at my options as what to do now. I have 24 hours to decide on my next move, and then another 48 hours to go through with it. I'll need overnight parts from Japan.
