First Car - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #27273 34 posts Started by Cutrara
Since I was 13 I have wanted a different first car (in this order):

5GC
MKII MR2
3000GT
6GC
3000GT VR-4
MKII MR2
6GC
94 BMW 318i

I'm currently 16 and I ended up buying a 1994 Celica ST Hatchback. And I'm very very happy with it. I just couldn't make up my mind due to availability, insurance, mean parents, etc.

QUOTE (cjh4l22 @ May 15, 2009 - 4:02 AM)hey, nice mod does it come in hetero?Need parts?I'm parting out a '94 ST
'96 Viper RT-10 Silver with blue rcaing stripes
94-99 celica

I knew though since I wanted a car it'd be a celica because of the viper's price.... i dont know if I'm the only one like this, but I think it's cool. I always wanted one, and I got one. This may sound even weirder, but I'm NOT selling my car no matter what. I plan on keeping it till I die. Kinda weird huh?
I've come quite a ways from what I first wanted.

A long time ago I used to want a Toyota T100, or Tundra(or 4x4 Tacoma). My dad had a T100 and I just loved it and the whole superiority complex that comes with trucks. >biggrin.gif>

But then I got converted. I got to drive a Civic for a few months, and I fell in love with it. My brother still wants a truck, but after that, I was stuck on the whole sporty coupe feel. So I looked for a Civic for a while, cause that was the only sporty car I'd ever driven, but lucky for me, I didn't have the money at the time.(thank God I didn't acutally get a Civic) >wink.gif>

But since I was checking out Honda's I looked at some Acura's, and got hooked on the double headlight look. So I really wanted an Integra for a while.

Then one day I saw a 6th gen. Celica, and was like "damn, what is that!?" I went home, immidetally found out what they were and of course fell it love with them.

So now I've been wanting a Celica ever since. I sucks cause I'm so picky about what I want it's hard to find one. Not to mention there's not that may in the NorthWest anyway. Right now I'm driving around a 3000GT(sadly, not VR-4) that I picked up for super cheap. But I'm trying to sell it. All my friends think I'm crazy for trying to sell my 3000GT in order to get a Celica, but what can I say, I got the 6gc virus... >rolleyes.gif>

EDIT: What an opportune post to get my first square on....=]

I'd take any rotary or a supra would be very nice
I wanted a 3rd Gen Trans Am (82-92 models) and ended up getting an 84 SE Firebird. I knew what I wanted and got it.

the first car i wanted was a fox body mustang, but that ended up being my 3rd car lol

1999 Celica GT
I actually always wanted a 6g celica it took me a while but i got it

There Ain't No Party Like A Celica PartyA Day Without Celica is Like a Day Without Sunshine.
When I used to watch rally I've ALWAYS wanted a White 5th Gen or 6th Gen GT-FOUR.

When I used to watch Dale Earnhardt knocking people off his way, I've ALWAYS wanted a Black Monte Carlo.

When I used to watch V8 Supercar races, I've ALWAYS wanted a V8 Holden Commodore.

When I used to watch stadium truck races, I've ALWAYS wanted a Tacoma PreRunner.

When I used to read MiniTruckin' magazine, I've ALWAYS wanted a Tacoma S-Runner.

I think that's all I could think of right now >tongue.gif>

I wanted this generation Camaro. Sadly, I got a Geo Storm, dad bought it with my money. Then I made that thing faster than my buddies IROC. But if I would have put that much money into a Camaro or Firebird, I would have beaten a lot more people.

Live Free, Be Happy
Cadillac.

I have ALWAYS wanted an older caddy, still do.

I remember cuting out pics of the older (59-70) cadillacs and taping them to my wall.
i remember finding a 67 limo in town. i called him up and asked what he wanted for it. wanted $8k. I told mom and dad they can each pay $4k and get it for me for my B-day. I think i was around 10 yrs old at that time.

im a toyota fan so the only cars i really wanted were a mr2 or a supra. of course, i couldnt afford either of those so i got my celi. and like consynx i never heard of a 6gc until i saw it. fell in love with it quick and only had 33k on it when i bought it! just wish it wasnt a damn auto >smile.gif>.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
Wasnt attracted to cars untill i got my drivers license (3 uears ago) Sure i knew about Ferrari and Mclaren and there PRICE TAG!!!!.

So for payable cars here my list:

Nissan Skyline: Untill i found out about the price and disliking it when it became superstar status after TFTF/2F2F and NFS Underground. YUK
Toyota MR2: Sleek design of the car + its a small amount faster then my Celi (Same engine)
Toyota Supra: Only the 93 plus model, also before TFTF
Toyota Celica: 6th Gen of course. Because its so rare around here.

JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
When I was 14: BMW Z3
When I was 15: IROC Camaro (still didn't know anything about cars
All these cars I actually test drove but for whatever reason, ie- insurance, parents, price, I didn't buy)
S14
Del Sol VTEC
Integra GSR (DA and DC2)
MR2 Turbo
Celica AllTrac
MK3 Supra
FC n/a
FD broke as hell
4th gen Prelude VTEC
1967 Chevy Camaro
Galant VR4 (400whp)
DSMs

I'm sure a few I forgot

NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife92 Civic hatch B16 - Sold10th anniv RX-7 - RIPThe Slow Celica - Sold...and then crushed crushed due to street racing.Quote from Seinfeild: George's Boss reading a magazine: "People magazine's most beautiful people. Oh and a Celica...nothin wrong with that!"
my first car was a 300zx twin turbo that my dad bought from an auction for $8000 and I bought it from him, then I totalled it when i hydroplaned on I-95 :-( then I bought a caprice, sold it b/c it ate up gas 2 much, now I have my celica.

So i guess my list would be like:
300zx TT
Caprice LT1
6GC
Supra
Subaru Impreza WRX STI WR1 (when they come out in america)
Supra TT
RX7 TT
DeLorean (I saw one the other day, there ugly as hell, but for some reason I like them, probably because of the doors)

To live, is to sufferTo survive, thats to find meaning, in the suffering....
always wanted the 6gc celica first then keep it and work my way up to a supra targa top the last body style made here. i knew it was the car i was getting my brother was trying to convince me to look at other cars i said i want this one. i mean i went though looking at 3 different 6th gen before i found the right one but i got what i wanted. 1st one had 1200 dollars worth of stuff that needed to be fixed, 2nd on ethe one i really wanted was the celica stock blue the fiesta blue or whatever it was called but i took it to atlanta toyota and for their used car inspection they drive it and when test driving it the guy at the dealership didnt put the hood on all the way well the hood flew up and broke the window and the hood flew off and i was pissed only because thats the color i wanted. then i found my red one and it was been awesome even though it is a auto.now i ended up having two of them. one a coupe and the other which is my red one which is of coarse a hatch got to love the hatches
