Why is it..., stupid Celica owners... Options

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?

It is true though i've noticed that either they are enthusiast or treat it like a 4 door Civic, I only know of one that the person kept it stock and nice and it was some 65 year old with a vert in uptown Charlotte. It doesn't bother me though because the more they get treated like crap and destroyed, the easier it is to source parts, I still haven't had the metal replaced from the hit I took in April because I can't find a good wrecked one to get the quarter panel from.
