now that summer is in full swing, it seems i cant go anywhere without people asking me something about the car! on average i get stoped about 1-3 times a day, mostly young guys but also a few older people will ask me what kind of car it is or something like that.

does this happen to everyone else?

hahaha...it's because they have never seen that type of a bodykit on the celicas, looks like a euro car, not american....they don't know what a Toyo GT4 is in the USA...makes it look simple yet stylish and ravishing...lol...with our OEM US bumper and hood...looks plain...no one pays attention to us...

Lagos you prolly now how it is with aswapped celica... its really funny at car shows or parking lot meet ups where people will be like "oh just a celica".. some people actually look see the the turbo and ask a million questions about the car. But yes its funny not alot of people expect a boosted celica.. so its funny. But yes I get questions everyday.. But still cant sell my car.

I get asked generally once a day. I get a lot of people asking if its the awd celica. Kinda cool that people even know that theres an all wheel drive celica out there. I like the older guys talking to me about my car more than the younger guys

i wouldn't be surprised that they are asking...that's why we love our celi so much...it looks unique, simple and complexity blended together in the body and with sys, along with other variety rare engines in a chasis...that's what caught my eyes...love the 6th gen.

Since I swapped last week I get ALOT of attention. Mainly youngsters who think, because they hear the turbo spooling, that it is a Supra. But the GT4 is more reckownized here so when front end is finally put un they will understand. Furthermore I want a badge saying turbo in the back. At first is was fun to "kill" them ricer boys from the traffic light, but now it gets frustrating. I moved up a class. Its Subaru, BMW, Audi and even Porsche that I take on now from the traffic light smile.gif

I get asked about my car all the time also. My dad took my car to his work to get it aligned and my tired re-balanced, and he had 5 people ask what year it was, and said that it was a sweat looking car.
