Previously owned cars? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #38640 43 posts Started by JFrost9
Well like many other O/T posts, im extremely bored and got to wondering what all the celica owners out there have owned before. I know some of you are hardcore toyota enthusiasts or anti-hondas. Just thought id put it up, not sure if this is a repost. POST PICS if ya got em!

I use to own a 1991 Chevy s10. (Parents bought it brand new back in 91) and became my "First car". It was white, and pretty much stock. I spent more time just keeping it looking new then putting in new parts. But After i saved up enough money i sold the s10 for 2k and bought my celica.

I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club!
Ahhhh....boredom...isn't it great...

My first car was a 93 Ford Taurus, a hand me down from my brother that I finished driving into the ground. Next up was a 94 Ford Probe GT, that one was sold because I had no maturity for it and got into trouble. Then came a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, unfortunately offroading on ice and a few other factors led to me wrecking it within a month (poor thing didn't even get the in-transits off frown.gif). Up next was a 99 Ford Explorer that I just recently traded with my brother for his....1997 Celica GT Limited Edition, WOOT WOOT smile.gif.

We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.
Celica was/is my first car. I do have a 1995 200sx SE in the driveway too.

FlickR2011 Subaru WRX and 1997 3sgte Celica
first car was (here come the haters) a TT 300zx, got it as a pregraduation present from my grandpa, totalled it, got a 96' caprice, gas started raising, sold it bought the celi.

To live, is to sufferTo survive, thats to find meaning, in the suffering....
First car:
93 ford escort wagon....forest green (the pimp ride.....not really): Dad totaled it on a local highway
Insert major upgrade here:
05 Toyota Matrix.......factory red: dad took it away when i purchased the celica (was originally intended for dad anyway)
Enter the Celica Era
95 toyota celica.....pull me over red: still have it and love it

those cars are awsome, even tho they consume an ungodly amount of gas. Is it the maruader version?

lol ima make a list of cars that i remember my mom had that if she still had them i would be driving.

i remember a turboed chrystler from the 80's the neons back then lmao "it was stick too lol"

after that it was a 88 ford bronco. set on fire once lol "automatic"

she got rid of the bronco and got a 1990 honda accord DX. i woulda kept it but it didnt have power windows or locks, but the only good thing was that it was stickshift and no vtec!

after the honda she than got the 2000 RAV4, its automatic, still got it but the paint is getting oxidied or sumthin like that, when it starts peeling off

next to the RAV4 is the CELICA!!!!! lol
