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

it really is true... but not out here. When i went to grand forks (ND) i saw 3 6gc's in a parking lot, not ONE of them didn't have HUGE dents, craploads of rust, and just scratches in the craziest places.. they looked like pieces of crap. and i told myself that when i got mine it would look so much better. Too bad when i bought my car i looked at it underneath clouds, no sun, and in the evening. so when i took it home the next day i only realized ALL the dents, but they're very tiny ones. But last week we had a hailstorm, and i got MORE dents... but eventually when i have cash i'll get it all fixed. I have a bit of rust too, but it's just on the inside of the door panel.. where many others have rust as well. But i still wash my car at least once every week if not more. And wax, and my interior is always clean. I love my car, and will treat it with respect. It does suck that most other 6gc owners that i have seen don't feel the same.
