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 left the Celica to go to the dark side...several times lol. First one wasn't by choice, my Celi was totalled and I couldn't find another one so I went with a Mustang. Got sick of it FAST, so sold it and got a Prelude. Now the Prelude had the best of both worlds, but sucked with gas mileage so I got my 2nd Celica. Made more money, sold the Celi and got a WRX. Absolutely loved that car, but was bloody expensive to insure and got dookie gas mileage. While I had the WRX I got an SC300 like a few of you guys want. Great car, especially since it's in the Toyota family. Unfortunately it was an auto, and I sold it to make a quick profit (picked it up cheap).

Needless to say I'm back and now own 2 Celica's, one for me and one for my wife. They're just a perfect blend of good looks, handling, and reliability/gas mileage. They're definitely not fast, but they make a great DD (plus I can haul all kinds of stuff in my hatch). And I'm sure one of mine will see a 3sgte someday. GL to those searching for a different car, I hope you find what suits you.
