Do you ever find yourself bored with your car? I've had the Celica for only about 5 months now, and it's ok and all. It just has me bored with it. It's not as fast as I like and it sounds like, well, nothing. Can't even tell if the car is running unless you stand right next to it and listen. I guess I could change the exhaust out, but I don't like the sound of 4 cylinder engines. Don't get me wrong I like the car; ease of working on, looks, mpg, etc... I just wonder if I should've given fuel economy the middle finger like I have been and just gone with a Firebird Formula. Of course if I had I'd probably be over on some Firebird forum making a similar post, but bitching about the fuel economy. Maybe I just have commitment issues, seems like I do with everything else. Of course I'm not selling the car, as it should be trouble free for some time. Am I crazy or does anyone else ever feel the same?
