Celica Forums General Discussion General BEFORE owning your Celica, you had... ?

1. '95 Mitsubishi eclipse RS (slow and crappy)
2. '86 Honda accord Hatch back (had it 2 days and it died)
3. '92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Turbo (I miss here soooo much, my fav then it got hit)
4. '00 Honda Civic EX (I also miss this car but not nearly as much as the Talon)
5. '00 Toyota Celica GTS (I dont really like it but its ok)
6. Will be a another 1st Gen AWD DSM fully built engine and drivetrain.

well right now I have the 2000 celica and a 2000 camry for when the celica is getting worked on.

my last car was a 69' nova which taught me that having an 11 second car is cool but getting 5mpg was not

I've also had a 87'cavalier, 70 mustang, and 97 escort. I had a 98 mustang GT that was gonna be my play toy but I bought it new and it had the engine replaced 3 times in the first month I owned it. I returned it under the lemon law and vowed never to buy ford again since I was also having major repeated problems with the tranny of my escort.

thats why I'm a ford hater now along with all the shit I got from the company. so I ditched both those and got the nova for $1,800 lol I still wish I never sold that thing. oh well I love the celica. it's very fun to drive and I just like the looks and how comfortable it is to drive.

well... drove my mom's 97 camry when I first started drivin... then i got hit by a 4runner and it went bye bye, lol...

Maybe more I worked for a buy here pay here dealer in Florida for a while and I did a lot of trading. This is all I can remember that I owned for now.

I had a few other cars for only a couple of days and decided to return them, like a 85-88 Cougar. I also had a weird kit car, like the Night Rider. That was junk, had to stay on the gas just to keep it running ever after getting a tune-up. But I did sell it for $100 more than I paid for it hahahaha

Vampyre, how does the Type R compare to your GTS? Just curious, cause I always wanted to own a Type R. Can you maybe post up your view on both cars. I'd like to know which kicks in harder, VTEC on the Type R or VVTL-i on the GTS.
