    What's the most outrageous thing anyone has ever said about your Celica? Did they say it's another Supra? That they had no clue what in the hell it was? Interesting to know, especially how differently people view them in other countries. Post them here :D :popcorn

    When I first parked the Celica at work, some locals asked if it was a "Chinese car", then there was a "looks like a spaceship", young petrolheads have looked and said , "Wow, what car is that ?". Once at the traffic lights, a guy in the next car asked, "Is that brand new ?"

    The celi is so rare here I'm like an alien driving a spaceship :mrgreen A few times a week people stop me and ask all kinds of things. Usually, it's the "holy crap an 89, how is there no rust"? :hehe

    I remember another one I forgot to tell you about....

    When I first put on the ST162 custom spoiler decals (Thanks again NY Kev :thumbsup: ) , I had it parked at work. A customer came in, older guy.... one of the Goodguys folk (For those who may not know these guys, they put together the 30's thru '50's custom street rods).... This is classic... :hehe

    He says... "ST-162, that an old Kit Car?".....

    Nuff said..... :smilielol5

    "That thing der aint All wheel drive...'dem sell-eee-ka's (celica; but it was pronounced funny by this person)...they only came front wheels drive!"
    ..i smiled and told he was correct and that i had no idea about my own car..he didnt realize that i was being sarcastic.

    "Is that a Porsche?" "No" "No? really...hmm a Mazda?" "No it is a Toyota" "No shit...would of never guessed that! Would of sworn it was a Porsche"

    Part store:
    "hi can i have rear brake pads for my 88 toyota celica alltrac please"
    "Certainly one second"
    ...types stuff into computer...
    "umm you mean brake shoes right?"
    "no brake pads please"(politely said)
    "your celica came with drum brakes, so they would be called brake shoes...do not worry about plenty of people get the terminology wrong, luckily you have us car guru's to help you out"(he said that politely and from what i can tell in an attempt in a non insulting manner)
    "well do you mind walking out to take a look real quick with me to my celica"
    ...rest is history lol

    "your celica is a chicks car fag!" (jokingly said my male friend of whom owns a VW cabario)

    Wow, how much of a change the Celica would be if it was RWD. People would be on it like the 240sx's, Silvias, etc for drifting.


    I get alot of "Is that your Supra in the parking lot?" and "Oh I've seen your car in a game" then I borrow the game and find out it's an 88 Supra.

    -"Your car is badass, is it RWD?"

    -"Nice car, I'm starting to like it, I think I might get one"

    -"Wow, you've got a sporty car"

    And during halloween my mother said we should use her Corolla to drive to the destination, and since Halloween has theme related to the dead and "darkness", my brother replied, "But it doesn't look as mean as the Celica"

    I also get the "What the hell kind of car is that" looks as well as "Damn that is one fine ass car" look.

    Haha, it'd piss me off if I had an All Trac and someone tried telling that isn't AWD, they only came in FWD. Or anything related to "I think I know more than you even though you own the car"

    -drives up to a toyota dealership-
    people walking into their pruis: "what IS that?!" while turning their heads

    some of my stubborn old relatives keep insisting that the celi's a beater.
    yet they say nothing when i drive the celi hard to drive them home from family events because they don't own a car.

    "what year is your car? 1998?"
    "nope...1988"
    "no wayyyy"

    -flips headlights on-
    "OMG TOFU CAR" (initial D reference lol)

    The two most frequent conversation-bits:

    "- what's it's top speed?
    - I don't know"

    "- girls like it, right?
    - I don't care"

    Another one from a child:
    "Whoa, that car has golden rims!!!"
