When it feels so fast while driving it....but then you get mopped up by everything and remember how slow it is.

[6gcpr]

When you open your new issue of your favorite car magazine hoping to see a glimpse of any kind or news of a celica and find nothing

When you notice there's a lack of aftermarket support for the 6gc

[Special_Edy]

How about-

Pressing the A/C button off when you merge into traffic like its the afterburner.

Lmao soooooo true

[Chinosan89]

- when there are other people staring at nice scenery or landscape, you prefer to pull up a chair and stair at your car.
- when people ask you how much your supra was worth. (even tho I had a celica badge on it....)
- when only YOU can really tell the significant difference between headlights and tails.
- when 6gc is on your most visited places list
- when your antenna retraction system is broken

[dudeofchaos]

-When you get out and the doors keep closing on your legs.

That is so true! Well it is for me haha.

You also know you own a Celica when:

-You know that it used to be Rwd.
-You know what your OEM color code is by heart.
-You know your chassis code by heart.
-''St204'' and ''St205'' is absolutly not the same thing to you.
-6gc.net is your main page.
-You would drool over a 6gc that passes by, even if it's all rot out.
-You know how many celica generations there are.
-You know what a 3sgte is and believe it's a gift sent from heaven.
-You know the hood of a Gt-Four is made of alloy.

This... there are so many rotted out POS 6th gen ST's here. It makes me cry All the GT's were bought up and kept nice, or destroyed by ricers around here. I was lucky to find my GTS.

You know you own a Celica when:

you're constantly taking corners as quickly as possible and smiling until you have to go straight again.

[bmj67]

All your drinks are in bottles with caps because of lack of decent cup holders.
You have 4 seats but only fit 2 people.
Your car is cleaner than your room.
You see another celica and know the year range by the front bumper.

I stole this idea from the 350Z forum I'm on. Post up things you've noticed about owning your Celica that you don't get in any other car.

When you back into parking spaces so the exotic front end shows the best!

When closing the garage door at night, taking one last gaze at the graceful lines giving you one last smile for the night.

Smiling when someone asks you what year that car is and you respond with, "It's a classic!"

When comparing the asthetics of other cars to your 6GC, they always come in second place!

When pulling up behind someone on the road, you know they'll see a vision of a sleek expensive sports car in their rear view mirror!

Your 6GC gives you deep down satisfaction that most people do not recognize the model car you drive -- only that it is beautiful to look at.

Nuff said......

when you see a 2-post spoiler celica and say to yourself that's a 94-95.

when you point out every 6gc you see and tell your wife, i have a car like that

[chacha]

when you know the celica's year and model (GT, ST) and if it is a hatch or a coupe or a convertible just by looking at the front of the car. you know it all too well

I'll be honest, the only thing I can tell by looking at the front end of one is if it's a 94-95 or a 96-99. How would you tell GT vs ST by the front? I look for wheels, ride height, rear caliper and hatch/trunk label lol. Most of the 6gc's around here are rotboxes that are neglected. I think I'm going to start a thread to show how sad it is up here.

So True. I put mine between the seat and the door, with the seatbelt to keep it from rolling away.
When you do get a drink thats not in a bottle, you get the small.

You know you own a Celica when you get your car dyno'ed and the technician barely straps the car down causing it to nearly fly off the dyno, and you see the whites of the technicians eyes freaking out about what he just did...

True Story...

He wasn't expecting a 3SGTE to be turning those front wheels.

All of these hits the nail on the head, also:

When you get "Hey nice supra"

[smkr3w]

....when people think you're car is a newer car, and don't believe you when you say it's 14 years old.
