Just saw a thread alike this on a UK celica forum under generation 7 celica's. Found it pretty funny to read.

I'll start out wink.gif

At some place i lived earlier, The neighbors kids was like "Wow, is it a porsche?".

When i go to some drag racing places, People always love it, I had my drags with it wink.gif. I only was racing a BMW 325 vs my 3sge. it won 1 round and i won 2 tongue.gif.

Anyone else got some stories to tell?.

It's funny that I always get compliments from people of all ages. "Is that a latest model?" "Is that a Supra?" "Is it twin turbo?". rolleyes.gif I ask my friends with expensive cars if they ever get compliments and mad props and they tell me they never get any and that they don't even turn heads. Isn't that weird? I've driven by people behind let's say an M3 or ZO6, and they totally ignore them and stare at my car. I look in the rearview mirror and they're still staring. Sheesh, that was when it was black. I bet now with all the carbon goodies and the blue paint job, people won't leave me alone. tongue.gif

We have an old, cheap car, yet people don't know it and they think it's expensive and fast. I'm cool with that. biggrin.gif
