You know you own a Celica when you have to lift the steering wheel to get in and out.
You know you own a Celica when the back seats are as useful as an accordion is while hunting. You know you own a Celica when you can shove things through the door window and rubber seal. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

QUOTE (malecrod @ Jun 24, 2012 - 10:31 AM) You know you own a celica; -When you pop the hood open everytime you get home from work even though car runs fine. -When you start to feel like your second job is being a "mechanic" because you are acquiring more tools than clothes. - When you are surprised when a youngster driving celica have no idea of 6gc.net! -Last but not least, you KNOW YOU OWN A CELICA when your spouse starts telling you they wish they were a celica because you are spending most weekends under the car!!! I have tried telling Kurt he spends to much time with the cars that we are a family that doesn't exist unless me and our son go in the garage to see him...lol: laugh: |

-When you realize that you could have bought a cheap mkIV Supra for what you've spent on the Celica.
-When you refuse to let a very reputable shop work on your car because you don't trust them with it. -When you have the backwards mindset that spending money to mod your IS 300/350Z is a waste because that's money you could have spent on the Celica. QUOTE (bloodMoney @ Jun 26, 2012 - 7:12 PM) When you jump in the car and drive 5 1/2 hours to help another owner swap the motor in his/her car.... Hopefully I can return the favor soon

I know it's been said before, but I have to say it too being that someone actually asked me last night.

You know you own a Celica (ST anyway) when your main focus is good mpg, while still looking cool.

When you wave at a 6th gen owner as they pass by and smile, but they look at you in your Celica like you've got 4 heads. Seriously, can you not see that I'm enthusiastic about your car!? Lmao

^^ Lol so true. I was visiting my dad and working on the car earlier this week and discovered that in my absence since I moved out, someone with an Alpine Silver facelift ST204 (yep, I know all that because I own a Celica) has moved in about two miles from him. Brigette and I want to put a flyer on his car but we know he's not an enthusiast plus, living in the country like that, it's frowned upon to pull into people's driveways and check out their cars. Can you see his face when he opens the door and sees me lifting up his windshield wiper? "Ohhaithar, I wuz just checking out yore car! I liek carz!"
Another one I just remembered, you know you're a Celica owner when you have your debit/credit card numbers memorized (including the expiration date and security code) from buying parts online. And when you buy parts on eBay you don't even need because you know they're worth more on 6gc. I once had 3 sets of JDM tails at the same time because I got then for under $130 shipped

You know you own a Celica when there's nothing wrong with your car, but you keep insisting on buying parts for it.
