Well I'm getting bored of my car. I want to to be faster, and just more fun and rewarding to drive. I want to know if there's anything I can do to improve it to keep my interest in the car.

I live in Bucks County, PA. We have lots of twisting roads along hillsides (too small to be mountains), and that Chrysler Crossfire I drove yesterday revealed itself as a highway car almost immediately. I knew it was made in Germany, and its steering reminded me of the first Mercedes sedan I drove back in the late 70's: DULL, DULL, DULL. We even had the top down, and it was still dull. It had power once you punched it, but I need steering to go with those fries. biggrin.gif I got back in my Celica, and was instantly at home.

I like the idea of gently fine tuning and fixing up a Celica. Mine was bought very clean, but I've added a HU with DVD and satellite radio. I wax it often (spray on stuff and sometimes liquid), and the black interior keeps my vacuum busy. I'd like to add some larger wheels, but wonder if that will effect the car's handling on twisty roads...

5 minutes from our house, and miles and miles of the same! smile.gif
