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 |

I personally don't trust doughnut spares once they're over 10 years old so for me it's just easier and cheaper to replace it with a plugging kit and compressor than trying to hunt down a newer spare I would trust. All assuming that such an event either is even needed. Not sure if by sheer dumb luck, but my brother that does at least 20K miles a year has only had 1 flat since driving and it was from a nail so the tire was easily plugged. Now if you have a full size spare that gets replaced with each set of tires that's another story, but I don't think many cars past the 80's had such.
