Celica Forums General Discussion General compliments about your Celica

I get a lot of compliments.

On the way to the chino meet actually i was still on the 101 bumper to bumper and this kid in the passenger seat of a civic get his phone out and takes a picture of my car or video of my car. It was kinda funny.

ahah wow.. am i the odd one out here? Well in public, i can looks and stuff cause it's a sports car with a nice metallics blue color but at school, it's eh. I guess it depends on where you're from. if you're from like kansas or texas or something where a lot of people drive trucks, it's be a unique car. I guess people at my school are just spoiled. There's an red R32 (which btw, the guy traded in his brand new evo VIII for), my friend has a 350z, a honda accord ex V6, rsx-s, Sti, Wrx.. everything you can think of. lol

Tons, one of the best has to be a random guy at Jiffy Lube asking me what kind or Lambo it was, very funny.

not too often unfortunately because 9 times out of 10 i'm parked next to TRdRida, in which case my car becomes almost invisible.

if i'm out solo every now and then someone will compliment it. it gets me pretty excited.

i life in a small town where only a few people have sports cars (which are decent). my gf thinks i have a big head because thats all i talk about, that and weightlifting. she says that i'm obsessed with myself, which i'm clearly not. i take great pride in things i appriciate.

she also didn't understand it why i got mad when she lead up against my car with her bare hands 2 days after i bought it in july. she kept telling me it was just a car. my response was, "you can...and will be replaced quickly if you don't stfu".


but in summary, yeah i get looks, my bro (350z owner) keeps saying "2 fast...2 furious" when i start talking about it...

i was taking my girl to work one sat morning and a state trooper started following me for like 2 mile and then he pulled up beside me and started staring at me. i was like ooo shit!!!! he just keep staring at me like i had a bench warrant or some shit. then he drop back behind me again and pulls me over!!! i'm freaking out b/c i have never had a positive encounter with the law. so he pulls me over and he's like do you know why i pulled you over this morning sir? i think for a sec and say b/c i'm not wearing my seatbelt? no, that not it... so i think for another sec or two and i'm like is it because i have my tv screen visible to the driver? nope...
...i wanted to tell you i like your car. and he starts talking to me about my fiber hood and he's tells me that he's sorry to bother me but since he had moved to the south from out west he's hasn't seen a decent looking car and that mine looked really good and he just thought he should tell me.

it scared the shit outta me, but i have to say thats the easiest time i have ever been pulled over.

and the coolest compliment i have ever gotten.
