I don't feel like getting rid of mine, mostly because stupid people are succumbing to the "power = good" idea.
What's power without control (SRT-4)
What's control without looks (WRX)
More power means faster, and thus more tickets. The Celica is fun to drive, nice interior, looks awesome. And it handles like a dream.
I'd never "get rid of it" for a WRX, or an SRT-4, or a Z, simply because they aren't THAT much faster, to deal with an ugly looking car.
I agree with you. I know my Celi isn't the fastest car around, but it is faster than most, it looks amazing, and it is very much fun to drive, especially in the twisties. I think some people are never happy.
