Hey Celica Family,
I'm organizing a Tail Of The Dragon meet for the weekend of August 17th & 18th 2019! So, for those who don't know, the Tail of the Dragon is a stretch of road between Tennessee & North Carolina that's 11 miles long and includes 318 curves! THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN CURVES! That's insane! Anyway - This road attracts motorcyclists and car enthusiasts from far and wide, who all want to experience this road. I've always wanted to go, so I decided to put a group together. I'm super excited for a weekend away with a bunch of friends & Celica's! I've created a Facebook event for this, but I wanted to put this here for those of you who are not on the FB. If you're interested in going, let me know! I will add details here as I put them together. I'm currently working on the itinerary. --------------------  1999 - Toyota Celica GT Vert Black 1999 - Toyota Celica GT Vert Super White |

Or chunk it, especially if 10+ years old, for a plugging kit and 12V compressor. Weight reduction, and can service multiple tires if need be. In fact I think that's what most new cars are doing anyway.
Which in the instance of my mom's Challenger it seems moot from the weight reduction standpoint, but still servicing multiple tires is nice. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Inflator kit only helps with a small puncture or leak, not with a gaping hole punched by a big bolt or something else. I'd rather have a spare. -------------------- |
