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.

I see the reason behind wanting a non USDM Celica...I mean, they're more powerful as JDM or EDM versions, not to mention they have the looks that people want (clear sides, better tails). If I go back to Europe within a couple years, I think I'll look for a good condition 6th gen GT4 if I'm still attracted to Celicas.
