Your first experience, When did you catch the magic? Options

I was lurking over at supraforums.com and they had a thread going about the day you bought your ride, and it got me thinking back...

It was September, still hot as could be, Tennessee summers. I was just back from school on labor day weekend when I got the call. My celi had come in from Wisconsin. We went down to the dealership, and I drove her for the first time, and from that moment, I knew she was going to be mine. I fell in love with everything about that car from the very moment I slid into the driver's seat. She was so smooth. Everything about her just flowed. She was going to be mine.

I almost laughed in an old woman's face when she walked up and started inspecting "my" car. She was aparently shopping, and stopped to inspect "my" car!?? Right then and there, my bond officially formed. She had made some comment to her husband about not liking the door style (no frame around the top) and I calmly told her "You needant concern yourself. I just bought this car."

After the wrangling and paperwork, I walked outside and there she was, freshly washed, shiny as could be, and 100% mine. The first thing I did was to take her out to the lake and stare out over the water. Just stare. With my sunroof open, and the starlight beaming in.

Funny thing is, I still get that feeling every time I slip into her in the morning to drive to school. Every time I see her across the parking lot, every time I wash her. There is nothing like the celica.

They say that a man's first love is his car. While I don't believe that (forgive me celi!) She's still my favorite thing in all the world.

I LOVE MY CELICA!!!!

i was actually saving up for an is300... i couldn't afford one yet... but @ that time i never knew what a 6th gen was... then one random day i thought... hm... if the current celi started in '00 and the ones with pop up headlights ended in 93... i wonder what was inbetween... then when i searched online, i saw some pics of the 6th gen and fell in love with it...

after a bit more than half a yr of searching i finally found one (although it's not the colour i wanted) and had it shipped over. all my friends said i was crazy/stupid for buying it before ever looking @ it in person... i thought i was too... but after searching for sooo long i just couldn't resist...

then the first day it arrived i remember it was snowing and there in the bond shed under a light sheet of snow was my first car. i couldn't drive it yet because it was in bond but after i week it was finally sitting in my driveway. i was soooooooooo happi when i finally was able to sit in it and was driving it to do all my inspections and stuff done hah

the car is slow and i'm getting owned by insurance... but i still luv it... the girls luv it too hah
