Well, after joining the military, I had to regrettably sell my old Celica:
 I was heartbroken as I lover her dearly. Thankfully though, I was lucky enough to be stationed in Okinawa, Japan; where Celicas abound! So I was blessed with the luck of finding me a 1998 SS-II with the beams motor with only 78000 km. (that's only 48500mi) The car came pretty loaded with power folding mirrors, auto climate control, and the automatic has a performance setting (holds gears longer and downshifts quicker) or a manual setting in which the auto shifter acts like a clutch-less manual. (Keep the stick in 2nd and it will stay there, even when stopped and then starting forward.) I am slowly playing with it and going to change and mod but at the moment I am having a blast driving it around (it's hella fast). Any suggestions as to what I should do would be openly greeted!  Enjoy!

I've seen a picture of a GT-4 with those buttons by the shifter and I figured it was just some something for show...but wow, I never knew that there was an automated manual for our cars. Interesting.
Wait, now that I see you mentioning two...I have the same thing, so I guess that's nothing special. NVM then. Anyway, great looking Celica though. Those wheels are beautiful.
