My girlfriend might be buying a 2000 GT-S, so there might be another 7th gen tagging along...

^^ Sounds good, Joe!
Not sure if anyone keeps up with the "Post a pic of your non-6gc" thread, but basically I traded the dreaded Lexus in for a 350Z. Progress has slowed on the Celica but I'm still doing my best to get her fixed up and one color for the meet. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Not at all. The Celica is still my first love and far from finished. It still needs work and there's no way I would ever leave it two toned. Plus the BEAMS is too much fun to forget

That's how almost everyone advances out of the Celica field, they get a Z. You should have waited a year or two for the new model of the FR-S to come out.

It's nothing against the car or anyone who likes them, but I'm personally not a fan. I'm glad Toyota is making an effort, however. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Yeah, it pisses me off that they put a boxer engine in it... -------------------- 2000 GT-S 6 SPD... SOLD! |

I don't know. We've only seen the car twice since we last saw you...

My girlfriend was too late on getting that GT-S... She will still be coming, just with me. I just bought some 25mm spacers for the rear wheels of my car, the TRD's will finally see the light of day.

We need to find a way to set up a live video feed for the people who are not going to be there (like me). I'm missing you all already.

-------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

This meet is really sneaking up on me. I can't believe it's barely more than a month away.
