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 had been scouting for a nice car for a few weeks when i saw the celica for the first time while on my way to school, it wasnt exactly love at first sight but i thought it was a pretty nice car. days later i forgot about the celica and had my sights at prelude instead, i searched for some info and stuff about it but my mom kept saying that she didn't like it, "well, i dont give a ****"
however she insisted me to take a look at this 7g celica, nice car but way too expensive, she kept saying that i should think about it. i was beginning to think that i'd get a lil contribution from them so i was really exited about the car.
in december it was time to make up my mind, i'd realized that the 7gc wasnt going to happen so i went back to the prelude, again mom said to check out a celica, 6g this time, a bit grumpy i took a look at it and wasn't too exited, prolly bc she was right and i wrong about it:P. Although the more i searched about it the more i slowly changed my mind in favour to it over the prelude. after looking for a celica to buy i finally found a suitable one, a good price, good looking with quite a few extras and being close to where i live (might've been the one i saw on my way to school) we asked if we could take it for a spin and he said that i could have it for three days. so i had plenty of time to get to know her .
the first things i was really impressed by was the interior and the a$$, i wasn't too fond of the front (preparing to be flamed) but i've learnt to like it, especially after installing the bodykit

and well here i am, i bought the car the next time i spoke to the owner

Edit: i'll prolly edit this tomorrow, until then have some indulgence with my grammar and spelling
