The last pic of my celica just before the new owner drove away with it. The guy was so happy with it that he didn't even want to negotiate, he wanted it as is. I knew i should've asked for more!
When I asked him what he plans to do to it, he said "nothing. It's perfect the way it is." I swear, the tears were from the dusty wind that day.  That was a week ago. I was lucky enough to see him cruising this morning when I was by the beach today. He pulled over and other than minor labelings, he was true to his word and she was looking as good as ever. I couldn't have done it without the help of 6GC. Thanks, guys! If you guys don't mind, i'll be hanging around a bit until either my mourning phase passes or I spot another project Celi in need of love.

The truth, the upkeep of the car was getting costly. Even though it wasn't my daily drive, the roads here are so bad and the mechanics are not of the best quality, especially with Japanese imported cars, I kept putting more and more money into it. I was hoping to keep it around long enough to pass it down to my kid, but no kids yet.

We all get out of the 6gc game eventually; the only question is how long before you come off the bench and get back in.
I hope the new owner puts as much time and pride into her as you did Slick - she was a beaut. -------------------- Has no more Celicas
