Getting any comments on your car out there ;)?, Does people passing by / strangers admire your ride? Options

[Goonter]

-i'm always getting a thumbs up
-one old lady asked me... no told me i must have a great job to be able to afford such a car (thought it was a latest model)
- some one said nice supra
-kid in a rental minivan (tourist) used his disposable camera to take a picture of the car, lol
-guy asked me if it was for sale recently, even though the car hadnt seen a wash in months.
-etc.

I was in the 2nd to left lane on the freeway today (right by the hammer lane) going about 70mph and a G35 came flying up behind me and slows down right next to my car. There was about 6 people in the car and I swear all of them had there hands against the window and were just STARING at my car and pointed at it. I just kinda laughed, and after about 2 mins of them cruising next to me, they took off again.

SO many people have no idea what kind of car mine is. It's funny.

MAybe ppl think it's a real GT-FOUR cause of the blocks and the badge?. mine's debadged and when i drive "a little hard" (shifting at 3500 rpm) imports always gun it beside me like im racing them.. like wtf i dont even have a fart can leave me alone. ANYWAY:

some middle aged man saw my car BEFORE it got painted. asked me if it was 2003 or 2004 model. LOL i said 94 and his jaw dropped. Went to drive my friend to mitsubishi dealership and 2 of their dealers came out asking me where i got it. 1 of em actually asked if it was the real GT-FOUR. I bet Kloudkicka gets a whole bunch of compliments.

when i tell ppl my car is a 94 they just give me this stupid look and ask what is it, and then u tell them its a toyota and they all freek out b/c they think its going to take off, its so stupid. but i have gotten many thumbs up in town and the freeway.

[rave2n]

Gotten the usual is that a Supra, some rednecks in a truck stopped at a light, yelled "Now that Celica is a one good looking car" with maybe 3 teeth in his mouth, last (final time) i took it to a shop got compliments from all mechanics on its cleanliness for age.

Do get alot of turned heads and such, but I stay a constant route most the time, and I think they are getting used to seeing me now =P - Considering i'm the only one in Greenville that actually has something past stock. All the other 6gc's are older ladies...drives me up a wall.

Saw a beat up ST the other day selling for 1800. Rear panels were all dented, and had a bit of a oil leak...but came with 17s =P - Didn't purchase it myself, but saw it driven away by some....illegals..thats a nice word for th at.

[zfjohnson07]

wow these are some crazy stories. i cant believe some people over react when they see the car. i know they look good but jeez lol.. now im impressed. ive had a mechanic ask me if my car was a supra and i laughed saying i wished..

[trdproven]

I get stared at by the Japanese tourists, or wherever I go, I get comments or staring.

[OOBE]

These stories are awesome. Keep 'em coming. I will chime in once I put my car together. I'm sure it'll be the awesomest cock magnet of my area.

You know, Celicas are cheap cars. But it's cool having one and having a hot lady ride shotty, because the other guys get jealous.

It's even cooler being female and driving your own sweet GT-Four, making the "other guys" jealous.

I haven't gotten many comments yet, but I sure do get a lot of odd looks - including a few hilarious double takes.

[OOBE]

I was gonna say that, but glad you swinged by the thread.

I get the most on my HID lows and fogs. I pull up to Autozone or Checker and they always ask me where i got the bulbs and how much it cost. I tell them they are HID and they are always disappointed that they arent super cheap, plug and play.
The hatch spoiler (rear window visor) usually gets the attention of WRX or STI drivers. Theyve told me that it makes my car look "nasty fast" or "mean."
My 5th gen mirrors also get attention. I was in to have my car aligned after putting on new GR-2's and Sportline springs and the guy at the desk asked if they were stock because hed never seen them on a 6GC before. He said he liked them and that it was a good swap.
I usually dont get rubbernecked or have double takes. There are a few 6GCs around and they are either driven by old women or ricey douchebags that recently came north from Arizona.....

[tara]

I think the double takes I get are largely related to the fact that I'm female and driving a RHD car. I guess people don't expect it.

[trdproven]

For me I am the only celica that is fixed up JDM style so people look twice because theyre not sure what kind of car it is. and to be looked at by the JDM tourists is a compliment. Where I'm from Japan tourists is one of the highest in the world.

[paul52]

the funniest thing ever happened to me was one day i was with my girlfriend tooking her back to house at night and i saw at the rear mirror and there was a red 5th gen celi mostly stock and we both stopped at the red light, when i turned my head to saw the other celi it was a girl, really pretty one (hotter than mine =( ), and he said me "i like your ride" i said thanks and my gf was soooo angry lol

another day i was waiting for a friend at mcdonalds and sit next to the window to see my celi then a heard 3 guys and a girl talking about what car was that when suddenly one of them stand up with his celphone and started to take pics next to me. i looked at him and he laugh, then my friend came, we ate and went out when i opened my car and looked back the others guys were laughing at the one who took the photo and he turned sooo RED haha lol

while driving some people has said me nice ride

Last Tuesday I went to Joliet for work boots. On the way, a blue Celica GT passed me.
Nice Celica!!
When I parked, a guy across the street knew it was a 6 gen, but not year.
He asked if I was restoring it. When I said I want to " make it a decent driver " ,
He said " Man you got your hands full!! "

Comments; most like that.

[Spider77]

I get nice comments from the guys I work with, mostly cause they know how much work I put into her. I did have an odd conversation with the cop who came out to make a report about the damage done by the neighborhood kids. Talked quite awhile about it, he used to own one too. Of course get the looks from the DSM and Honda guys as Im cruising down the road. And recently the Macco guy gave me some pretty nice comments as well.

[Shigexile]

i finally got a compliment on the streets by these older folks!!!
they asked what year my car is and that it is really nice.

the downside? i was driving my girlfriends 7gen GTS action package...

so for the close to 7 years i owned this car i got maybe 1 or 2 compliments and the 3rd day girlfriend owning the 7gen, she's already getting compliments? i guess i'm a little jealous

[cheela]

I love the stares and double takes after I just washed and waxed my celi.

[block]

a little old lady guessed my car was a 2005 model or something haha.

lol. yeah people think my old celica was newer. and i get the "is that a supra?" it gets annoying.

I love the stares and double takes after I just washed and waxed my celi.

celicas are sexy when washed and waxed. ohhh how i miss mine

[b22ri22an]

I deliver pizza in mine, many customers comment on my car (always positively) and I always reply to them have to make the job enjoyable. so um yeah I get paid to drive my celi vert all day long with the top down and the tunes up. sometimes life is good

[GriffGirl]

I get comments on my car occasionally. One time I was in my driveway working on my car, and these kids, they must've been like 10, skated by and were like WOAH, NICE CAR! It cracked me up, they said it like it was a Lamborghini or something.

Another time I was in my driveway working on my car, and a guy walking buy stopped and said "Hey, nice car. A girl, working on her car... that is SO hot" and I just smiled and said thanks.

I get comments at gas stations here and there too, by the attendants (it's illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon lol). And two days ago I was driving home from work, stopped in traffic, and noticed a spray-can primer black Integra next to me, with a FCUKED up bent rear rim and was thinking Ouch, that SUCKS. Well the guy saw me look at his car, so he did the "Oh, YEAH... " nod/smirk to me, and then revved his car up so I could hear his crappy little fart can muffler. So of course I returned the favor with a deep growl of my exhaust. He smiled and nodded approvingly. lol

[xs94st]

I rolled through a burger joint and the guy asked 'Wow man, is that a Supra?!?!'

I said no, its its brother.
