Will soon say goodbye Options

After putting well over 10,000 dollars in changes, mods, restoration, parts that are not even on the car or I replaced, etc., I have decided to sell my celica. It has made me satisfied over the past years, there is just so much potential with these cars, but with USDM versions not being able to back up the looks with speed i feel it outweighs its worth to change the motor. I will sell it for its blue book price no matter what I have put on it. I just think I will sway over to another car like another former celi member and instead go with the SC300. I think I will be able to satisfy both looks and power by getting what is so close to a supra, which I think the SC and celica are. It's a disappointment that after all the time, money, and labor I have put into it, I feel strongly about letting it go. I have not spent or done or cared much about it for months now. This is a sign that I may have lost interest. I do not enjoy driving it either, it feels just like a car now. Maybe not for others but this is it. Once I find a replacement, I will not turn back. I just wished I could have taken this car with me all the way till it rusted, but sadly not having a J Spec version or available parts or shipping issues is killing me to go further, like hitting a plateau.

Like what someone told me, sometimes the magic just dies. No doubt the celica is one of the nicest cars to date even though its old. I think the USDM market or Toyota did not do the celica justice. My ultimate goal is to stick to Toyota. I am truly loyal to that. My friends can't believe I am selling it. I am the only one where I'm from thats set up like it. I turn a lot of heads because no one knew anything but the factory USDM model and not any JDM parts or potential. If an AWD opportunity came along for me with high chances of a successful swap, I'd stay but I know there is no one in my area confident, qualified, experienced, and all the other good things to know how to do it. I spent more than enough to buy parts to get a car to 12 seconds quarter mile, my friend spent only 8 grand. There is just so many things you can do with the celi but at the end, money is the most obvious driver not you.
