So Sadly a few months ago a negligent driver ran a stop sign and t-boned my Celica. To say the least I was pretty depressed/angry that the love of my life was destroyed... I had some plans yet to be done, and a hand full of upgrades already carried out. But I had to come to terms with my carless state.
Luckily I am centrally located in my city and have been riding my bike as primary transportation. But i could never quite get Celica's out of my mind and felt super nostalgic/butt hurt every time i would see a 6gc. I finally received my settlement from the insurance company and was trying to decide what kind of car to get, I toyed with the idea of buying a smaller retro/classic car but that fell through because i didn't want to deal with the mpg or maintenance. Then i thought about just getting a Suburu or small truck, but then i was like screw it, '6gc 4 life!' haha. so the hunt began. Came across a whole lot of junkers and ultra high mileage Celi's but none of them seemed to be worth it. Then i found an ad for a Celica in Washington with a gt4 exterior conversion. At first i was a bit iffy on it because the guy had only owned it for a few months and didn't seem to know anything about the car or the parts it had. For a few weeks i was the fence about buying it, because what if it was all knock off parts or had been abused like most mod'd cars are, or maybe there is something else wrong with it. Then I thought to myself it would be crazy if the person who previously owned the car wasn't on this site. So i did a simple search, and Bam! found it. After I found the vehicles history on here i knew it was a clean buy, and the original owner seemed to take really good care of it. Hopped on a bus the next day and picked her up. Registered her today. Maybe some of you on here will recognize her, what do ya think? Upgrade! i still miss my old Celica, but this a more than adequate replacement. It has all the stuff my old Celi had plus more, I'm pretty happy with it. @ 97lestyousay This post has been edited by Wizardofodd: Oct 28, 2013 - 9:42 PM |
