Why is it that the spectrum of Celica owners is so extreme?
On one hand you have the super-extreme-enthusiasts like us, who absolutely love our cars and know everything about them and all that, and realize how rare and special they are. On the other hand it seems everyone else who owns a Celica has zero appreciation for their car. I see lots of Celicas around the town I live in and would love to leave some 6gc.net business cars on them or something but most of them have just been treated so badly that they are just junk. One guy drives a nice black one with 7th gen rims but doesn't speak a bit of english and if you look inside the car it's like there was a dogfight or something in it. Another is the same color as mine and wingless (looks so hot) but when you get up close it's all keyed and scratched up, looks like it's been in a lot of fender benders and not repaired, etc etc. Before I bought my Celi I looked at numerous ones that had just been absolutely trashed-i'm talkin bullet holes, weird damage, zero maintenence (one didn't have much if any oil in the car) It just bugs me because Celi's are already rare and decreasing in numbers fast. I've seen one other really nice one in town. Anyone else notice this or is it just me? -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

Maybe the Celica isnt number one on their priority list? When u grow up, you'll understand. -------------------- Note to new members. Discussions such as the ones below are forbidden.

[right][snapback]311815[/snapback][/right] Exactly. My car is now one of those cars where "when you get up close it's all keyed and scratched up." Are you saying that I just don't care? That'd be wrong. Because I do care, and I've spend more time and money and blood and sweat and tears on my car than a lot of people on here, but I can't see spending lots of money on getting 70% of my car painted since it'll only probably get destroyed once again by vandals. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
