I bought my first new car, '93 Honda Del Sol. Then I traded it in for my '00 Celica. Really BAD reality TV is the reason I stopped watching MTV.

I saw a saturn a few days ago where the door was still attached to the car, but the outside layer looked like it was peeled-off... What color was your's and how about your new celica? Isaac, I think Saturn started advertising them before 94, but I am not sure. Was the one you saw in an accident or was it just falling apart? My saturn was a Pearl White SL2 5spd. It was a special homecoming edition. Those "dent resistant" side panels saved my car from countless dents. Unfortunately, they didn't make the mirrors out of the same material. I came out of the supermarket one day to find the driver side mirror hanging by the adjustment cable. Talk about a door ding! My celica is a 2001 Carbon Blue GTS 6spd. By the way, I like the picture of yours in your signature. Nice job!

At least they weren't on mine. The panels were painted. Plenty of chips from broken mirror glass reassured me of that.

I had a '86 Nissan Stanza Wagon aka the big blue box on wheels that my mother gave me for college. When I bought my own first car it was a 2000 White Sunfire GT. That car's brakes didn't turn out to like how I drove and it ended up "meeting" the back end of a bmw on the interstate. Vowing to only buy cars with 4 wheel disc brakes from then on out thats when I got my Celica GTS peas n rice peas n rice Why settle for a lesser evil, Cthulhu awaits....
