Random Encounter with a Celica!, He's gonna become a new member soon! Options

[Guest_Jason_*]

Ok so this was really weird.

Yesterday a friend and I needed to drive down to the middle of Virginia somewhere to pick up his MR2 Turbo. We both live in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania so its a good 3 hour drive through Baltimore and Washington traffic. So we took my Celica and are flying around traffic, and up ahead I spot a red lowered Celica cruising up ahead. It looks lowered and everything else looked pretty stock, so I told my friend that we must catch it. So we jump on it and catch up to him and I give him the thumbs up as we go flying past, next thing I know he matched my speed of 110 from his 65ish and was riding my ass hardcore. First thing that popped into my head was "HOLY **** 3S!", so we slowed down to 2 cops on the road infront of us and traffic started getting heavy. So he cruised next to me talking about our Celica's, well this guy has a 3S-GE and a **** load done to it. He's pushing 244wHP! OMG! I cried, really. It just happened that he lived in the same area as where we were getting the MR2, so he told us he would show us a short-cut to the place. So we followed and we hung out for an hour or so talking about the Celicas. He didn't know of these boards, but he does now, and as soon as his Internet is back, he'll be here. Oh, and his name was Ryan.

Sounds awesome - love the comrodery ( i dont know how to spell that word) among the 6gc community!

ya, wonder how much he spent getting the engine up that high, probably wouldve been cheaper doing a swap. Too bad he didnt know bout 6gc or celica.net before he spent all the cash.

I believe its spelled comradery, I think. Anyhow, I like the fact about that too, very rarely does someone drive a Celica and not care about it. An amazing car. By the way, I'm glad we'll be having a new guy, especially from VA!

Hey i'm from VA too! Where were you guys headed in VA anyways.

Inferno - what part of VA are you from??

I'm from a county called Lunenburg. It's about 2 hours south of Richmond, about 30 minutes north of South Hill and like 3 hours to the west of Virginia Beach. An area code called 434.
