-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. -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) - SOLD :(

It's funny that I always get compliments from people of all ages. "Is that a latest model?" "Is that a Supra?" "Is it twin turbo?". I ask my friends with expensive cars if they ever get compliments and mad props and they tell me they never get any and that they don't even turn heads. Isn't that weird? I've driven by people behind let's say an M3 or ZO6, and they totally ignore them and stare at my car. I look in the rearview mirror and they're still staring. Sheesh, that was when it was black. I bet now with all the carbon goodies and the blue paint job, people won't leave me alone.
We have an old, cheap car, yet people don't know it and they think it's expensive and fast. I'm cool with that. -------------------- |

When we bought our house last year the Celica got neglected since I spent all my time working on the house. When I finally got a chance to wash and wax it my neighbor came out and asked if I got it painted. He was like "wow I didn't think the paint looked that good, I thought it was just faded and dingy"
Otherwise the most comments I get are just that it looks good for a car that's over 10 years old, or that it looks faster than it is. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

I've gotten the occasional "Nice Supra" & "Nice ride man!" This older lady stopped me just to tell me that she likes my wheels. That's about it.

yea I've had the "nice supra" compliments a couple times.
Worst one was "is that a Tiburon?" wanted to slap him in the face for even mentioning that POS car. |

All the time, Celica's are pretty common over here but not the GT-Fours, so it turns a lot of heads when I drive by, I suppose the bright red paint job helps too lol. Get quite a few comments, pretty much always positive.
