    When you are enjoying driving your Celica, what sort of things go through your mind besides the day to day duties.

    I throughly enjoy drivng my Celica when it's all nice and clean. During the drive, I appreciate how clear the windscreen is after using car glass polish, which is different to normal spray and wipe. Sometimes I hate drivng too fast because of all the flies, but of course I carry a spray and wipe with me.

    I enjoy the fresh lemon fragrance of Autoglyms interior vinyl cleaner, just so fresh. I'm not one to enjoy the air freshners you buy , hanging trees, bottle scents etc.

    I look at the binnacle and enjoy the dials, especially at night. I think every single one of us enjoys that one.

    When I'm driving on the motorway ( UK term ) or freeway, I love the way it hugs the tarmac. Its so smooth, just glides through the wind !

    I love it when I'm driving through slow traffic in built up areas , when people turn heads to look at my Celica, thinking they wish they had one !

    Sometimes when I drive to a supermarket/hypermarket, if I notice the floor mats are dirty, I have to take them out there and then and give it a good shake.

    I look at the dash board and admire how beautiful the design is and how much of a classic the car is.
    I also look around me, and notice the seats and windows and try to feel all 4 tires hugging the ground and how amazing this car is.
    Lol
    and other things

    Always thinking of things to improve... make it different... unique. Always looking at things to replace, repair, adjust... Looking at him as much as I do, I can always find something...

    i always think this too, and i always want it to be perfectly quiet with no squeaks and you cant even hear the road.

    True, and I also think about improvements as well. Unfortunately, most are out of my budget lol. For now

    Too busy watching the gauges & a/holes around me, watch long enough and they all make mistakes
    - tryin to figure out what people are going to do when they don't know themselves!

    People complain coz I refuse to answer the phone in the car, my bluetooth only goes on in emergencies.

    Yes' I'm listening for noises and signs of problems but generally just enjoying the exhaust crackling away
    and the long faces on the drivers of Scoobies, Evo's and eco-mobiles

    Watching the happy smiles when you let someone out or turn in front in standstill traffic,
    I try to treat others as I'd like to be treated and stress and rage never solved anything

    That's so true! I do the same.
    It's also building some reputation for sports car drivers. People always think that if someone has a sporty car, he can only drive mad and careless, but that's a stupid stereotype.

    Different noises while driving annoys me mad too, I always try to find out and do something about it (I have a metallic clanking noise on bumps for years now, and just cannot figure out where does it come from, I already replaced ALL suspension parts, lol)

    I like driving on curvy mountain-ish roads, especially when noone else is around. The car feels so good and alive there, I don't think on anything else those times, just on driving and listening to the cars sounds and reactions.

    I luckily have no rattles! I do have a plastic creak noise I need to remove the back panels to get rid of! The back is gutted anyway. I hate rattles, and am lucky enough to be very good at isolating and eliminating interior noises, that I don't have any.

    I am mainly driving my GT-S to the track lately, and it is a 1-1/2hr ride through back roads and mountains! :driving FUN! It holds the road like a bastard, and I have stock springs(can't wait for coilovers). I didn't put a radio back in for now, so I am constanly watching the Auto Meter gauges and tach light! (set for 7500rpm)

    I listen to my engine, but really can only hear my loud, external Bosch fuel pump, and my loud 3" exhaust!

    Then i'm at the track, beating the hell out of it and hoping I don't break anything, so I can drive it home! :thumbsup:
