A newbies intro and question Options

Hey everyone,

I just joined, and I firstly wanted to say that it's great to find a community devoted to celicas. I've always loved them, and I'm looking to buy my own 6G next year, and hopefully to swap in a 2nd or 3rd gen 3S-GTE. I'm currently entering grade 12, and while I know im a youngin, I am definitely NOT into the whole rice/ street racing scene that alot of idiots my age are. Anyways, I've been searching alot of buy/sell sites such as autotrader.ca (I'm canadian) and many of the celicas I see are auto. In fact, I could find barely an that were not auto, and I was wondering why that is. The ones I could find in standard were all more expensive (as I'd like ot pay under 10g's if possible, to allow as much money for the swap). Anyways, I was just hoping to get the imput of all you more experienced guys...if I could get some info as to why/ where to look, that'd be great. Hopefully I'll learn alot from this site, so as to be as prepared as possible for my first project car. Thanks.

Not only Celicas in the US are more common Auto tranny. Almost every car in the US is Auto transmission.

Last time i was in the US every car i had seen had a Auto.
In some posts on the forum i have even read that some ppl cant drive a "stick".
In my country you have to take the Driving Exam in a 4/5 door Sedan/Hatchback with a Manual Transmission. Even in cars like BMW/Mercedes or Audi that i have driven Auto transmission did not feel as good as driving a car with stick. Dont like them flipper panels/button on the wheel. I am oldskool
