I'm getting sick of the Celica., Somebody change my mind. Options

[richee3]

The title says it all. I bought the car with 93,000 miles on it, and it was my second Celica. It was a major disappointment from my first Celi, although my first was an ST auto and this one is a GT 5-speed. Ever since I got this car, I've had problems with it. It wasn't taken care of before I got it, so it's shot a spark plug out on me and half the stuff is broken on it. No power antenna. No antenna at all, actually. Paint falling off the front bumper. Half the interior plastics are broken. No cruise control (broken switch.) No floormats. Burns oil when I start it up. Burns oil after I start it up. I've had it two years last month, and have had to get the tires aligned 3 times. I'm on my 3rd set of tires too, partially because I'm sick of getting it aligned so I just let it f*** up the tires now. It almost feels cheaper. New suspension all around, which needs to be replaced AGAIN. Steering is loose, and the car often drifts. It makes me carsick just trying to drive in a straight line. I've taken the whole driver's side of the car out when I hit a deer, and now the door doesn't fit in the door jamb all that well and the window won't roll up right. Paint falling off the front bumper. The car has been wrecked, but not bad. Just bad enough to repaint the front bumper and nothing else. But due to the tire and suspension problems, I wonder if it was really wrecked a lot worse and never turned in to insurance. And now, my favorite thing: in the last couple thousand miles, it's started leaking oil. I've fixed everything I can. I'm sick of fixing the d*** thing. I was planning on keeping it and working with it. It's a lot better now than it was when I got it. And I know the oil leak is nothing major, probably just a gasket. But god, how much more can I take? I don't have a job. I have $19 in my bank account. I can't fix this thing any more. I look at it and I see a hopeless cause. I'm giving up on it. Here's my situation though. I've figured out a way that if I save up $5000 or so, I can get a new car (to be announced later... after my jobless a** comes up with $5000.) So somebody try to cheer me up and convince me to keep the Celica, or else I'm abandoning 6GC's for something better.

that may be the issue. I definitely know the feeling of wanting to get something new, but also the feeling of making all the knowledge that you've gained about the celicas suddenly useless.

I recently mentioned getting a new car for my wife (and a small SUV at that) and my uncle took it upon himself to start looking for me. This is the list he gave me in just 24 hours.

Needless to say, he's a corvette guy. He's raced them for the past 25 years

With that said, I'm sure that someone on here could find you a different 6gc if you're wanting to transplant your mods.
