Celica Forums General Discussion General What was your beater car?

Thought it would be interesting to hear about all the cars we drove before the celica.

My first car was a 90 Nissan Maxima with 110,000 miles. It was not a bad car, very reliable and a sleeper to many riced out civics. It had a V6, white gauges, and decent features. But it was the worst color on this planet. It was pearl white with 13 years of fade added on. I would wash it like every five days to make it look clean, but no matter how much i washed and waxed the pearl color never allowed it to look clean. And if i did not wash it, it was even worse. The seats were also uncomfortable and i could never find a good driving position. What cars did all of you guys start off with?

I had a car

1979 AMC concord

no way! that's pretty cool

I wished my dad wouldv'e kepted his 79 camaro

V6 baby!

My parents still own it, in fact. And now that it's 25 yrs old, it's a CLASSIC!

Mine is a 1978 CJ7. I love it!!!!

89' GMC pickup. Still got it too.

when we first moved to america our first car was an 86 corola . we dont have that anymore

BTW, that jeep looks just like the brand new ones, haha, they havent changed the designe at all

I had a 1997 Cheverolet Malibu LS, it was cool

My last car was a Mazda MX-6. I loved that car, but had to sell it in order to move.

A 90' red celica GT with 218,000 miles. everything original except timing belt & radiator. Toyota Rules

my first car was a celica!

Nates beater is a piece of work!

I used to live in Pennsylvania. But California is much cooler, and it was just too expensive to bring my car out here. The coolest part was the fact that i made money off that car. I bought it for $2600 and sold it for 4000 dollars after doing about 1G of work to it. Note to all: the more work you do yourself, the more money you save.

My first car was a 1990 white celica GT. Had it for only 6 months, totaled it with just over 235,000 miles, and still got $350 for it (someone used it for parts). That's why I bought a 2004 white celi!

94 toyota corolla!

my beater car owns all your beater cars ...KIA SEPHIA heres a pic from last year

Is this kind of a repost or a repost many times over? Any way. My first car and a real winner was a Chevy Malibu late seventies metallic blue. The headliner was held on by staples and my friends would estimate the gas hike on the headliner with ball point pen. Had no radio even AM. The car would take 15 minutes to start each day and would stall around corners. It would not go above 55 mph's and when it did finally reach that speed it died in a puddle of horrific fluids and smoke. I left it to die and bought the nearest Pinto.

my first car and my beater before the celica was a 1986 Pontiac Fiero gt five speed, i bought it for $1500, and when it died sold it to a bum for $500, not a bad loss, did some crazy shit in that car!

Heres my car from last year...this year i have a 89 Chevy Celebrity

let's see there was a 95 civic lx and a 99 tacoma prerunner

Yeah, I've answered this question twice now, I drove a 88 Honda Accord, and now an 88 (good year for cars I guess) Chevy Cavalier (shut up) until I can get my hands on a Celi.

1990 plymouth sundance. tan in and tan out. shitty!

1989 Olds Mobile Cutlass Cierra, the grandma car of grandma cars Atleast it had leather seats.

99 mazda 626, it was gangsta

I had an '87 Buick Century. 1st the radio was stolen then I totalled it in an accident. Broke a couple of ribs.
