So i just got back from one of them car meets everyone has in orlando..and boy did i have a good night with my celi. As soon as i got there my celica draws lots of attention. Next thin you know i got people comin up to me askin questions and what not. The best thing of all, i was the only 6GC there, so i was like no other. C, i own a weak ST, so what do u do when u got a car thats not fast..SHOW ITS LOOKS!!..and thats exactly what i did. The compliments from people just kept pouring in tonight, and even tho its not like the meet is a show or n e thin, i even had people takin pics of the car..(and of course, i didnt mind). I know if i had a civic, 7th gen celica, scion.etc, people wouldnt have noticed my car as much as they noticed my celi tonight. Now im not writing this because im extremely bored or n e thin like that..im just writing this to c if any of yall has felt extreme pride for ownin a 6GC. How has ur celi made u proud?!

I have never gotten a Porsche, but I have had one of my friends drive past me and his passenger called me and asked me when I got a Supra, and if I wanted to sell it. I said "For you, I'll sell it for 17K"

Many other various compliments, however people aren't a fan of Black car/Gold wheels

Some guy was checking my car in the middle of traffic yesterday. He was driving a yello S2000 too. I remember when I first got my car. Everyone in my school liked my car. Except they always wondered how "fast" it was.

Really getting it confused for a supra isn't a surprise to me any more. From the rear window back (the liftback atleast) really looks like an mr2 and the front all the way back to the fender flairs is a nice supra-esc look.

yeah, i've had a whole conversation with someone about how one of his friends used to have the same car as me, but then he called it a supra and then im like, "its a celica" and he walks over to the front and was like oh, damn thought it was a supra. lol, I've also had my car called a camaro and a neon =(. And i was in the back parking lot at work washing my car one day when some kids come up and tell me nice porsche, and im like thanks..? lol, and there were some kids from school asking me if my car was really a GT or if i just put the badges on it myself, i had no idea what they were thinking. And i always get asked if my celica is the v6 or v4 model, yes, they say v4.
