kind OT, but what front bumper is that in your profile? it looks good!

That's the 'Combat' front bumper by Andy's Autosport:

It follows the contours and styling of the celica very nicely; most definetley my favourite front bumper for the st202, without a doubt.

Had a guy last night follow me from the gas station to the car wash. He asked me what kind of car it was and then said I did a good job making it look nice. I said thanks and he said and it sounds good too. I cant believe the guy followed me 2 miles to the car wash just to tell me lol.

Lol. I remember cruising along on Rt.3 in MD and this little VW Golf or something creeped up and next thing I know we're doing 120 down the highway (I wasn't racing mind you). He was racing some other car and I was just there. Anyways, since whatever car he was racing raped him he was egging me on when we pulled up to the light to get off the highway. He was like "what do you have in that thing!?" And I said "an intake..." he responded with "And...?" I guess he was dissapointed. The expression on his face was priceless! A "nice car" and a "thanks" followed.

While driving in Massachusetts I get pulled over by a Mass. State Trooper. I get a ticket for going 97mph ($300) but.... As i'm getting ready to pull off and the trooper gives me a lecture on young kids and speeding, he ends the conversation with "You wouldn't want to mess up your sweet ride". That brought a smile to my face.

Stopped at the gas station today, Since today was the first day she's been out. And there was a guy in a Suburban getting gas in front of me.

Guy: Nice car

ME: Thanks

Guy: What kinda car is that?

Guy: Is it an Eclipse?

ME: No its a 97 celica

Guy: O thats a nice car man how many miles?

ME: 112,000

Guy: Wow thats a lot of miles.

And then i walked in and paid for my gas lol. I love people complimenting me and or asking questions about what kinda car it is and what not.

Inspection place:
Inspector: What year is your car?
Me: 94.
Inspector: Sure coulda fooled me...lol

Later in the inpection. A mom and her two kids were waiting next in line.
The two kids are arguing: No! Its a Supra!

Toyota Dealership
I parked and I was walking away from my car to the parts dept. Two mechanics drive by.
Mechanic1: Wow that is a nice car. I havnt seen a kit like that one before.
Me: Thanks, it all OEM

Walking back to my car. Head salesman is in the covered display area (kinda in the distance).
Salesman: (yelling) Hey! Whos Celica is that!
(Then the questions start)
"what year is it?".... "Man this car is imaculate!"
"How many miles?"
"This is the nicest one I've seen"
"May I see the inside?"
"You dont see these in this color anymore"
My favorite- "You take good care of her!"

I get the usual "Is that a Supra?"

"Is that the turbo Celica?"

At work recently someone ask me if it was an Mr2. Im like nope Celica. Then he asked what year it was, im like '94, hes like wow looks way newer.

I had one today, actually about 20 or so min ago. I hadda drive my buddy home from school cuz his car 2 of the coil packs went. He lives like 40 min away in a small tiny town. Any ways, i hung out with him for a few min then headed home and i stopped in this small town called Essex. Its got like 200 ppl in it or so and around here, import drivers are barely around. Its usually muscel cars, domestics or trucks. If your drivin a honda or toyota, ppl give u weird looks. Any ways, so i stopped in at KFC for a snack and i parked my car in the back. So i see some kid riding his bike towards the back and i see him eyin my car. So he disapears for a few min and then i see him come in the front door. Hes probably like 15 or 16 if that. Im sittin there eatin and he comes over and starts askin me about it. Hes like "dude! that a supra or a celica? Its hot man, its a bit of sleeper eh? nice car man, i wish i could have somethin like that but its too hard to find somethin that looks like that around here." then i told him its gonna b for sale soon and his eyes lit up, but when i told him ballpark price i want for it he asked me if i could hold it for him for 4 years so he can buy it..lol. The guy works part time at the KFC. It was kinda cool to get a compliment about it in a town that doesnt like imports.

I have been at the same job for 7 years, and I have had my Celi for 3 years. The other day the owner of the company saw it and said "oh thats a cute little car, when did you get it?" So I told him.... three years ago.... And he said oh really? Well its a cute car! Ya thanks old man, short cheap old man lol. I dont like him! He comes eye level with your chest & I swear he stares right at it lol

I got the supra question once, and I didnt even had the spoiler at that time.

My co-worker saw my car once as I was leaving the parking lot, as he takes the bus and rarely see cars in parking. He looked at the car smiling and turning his head. The day after he said, man you car looks mean!

yesterday I was helping somebody I work with out to their car (yep, that's what I do... I pu the groceries in the bag, then I take them to your car... pathetic, I know) and as I was loading up her car she asked what I drove. I pointed to my car which was two parking spots away and she says "oh, that's a cute little car! are you going to paint it?"

I usually get that one... the "are you going to paint it?" question. cause it's a teal car with a dark silver hatch and light silver fenders, plus some massive oxidation on the hood and roof... kinda ugly...

I always get comments while in the line of a fast food drive thru... The people saying, "Hey man, nice car. Looks hot." or "Clean car, you gonna sell it anytime soon?"
One time I had a guy in a 95 supra tell me that he liked my car. he said it was nice to see a 6th gen celica in that good of shape.
I also get the whole, "Is that a supra?" ...no... "well it sure looks like one..." ...ok... Thanks, i guess...
Lately ive been getting comments on how loud my car is for having stock exhaust. My coworkers ask me if i have a gutted cat or any mods to my exhaust, But they all say it sounds sweet and really good for having just intake. And one of the guys has an rx-7 so i take that as a pretty good comment.

Driving home a Collegue of mine last monday after a game of poker. Went on the highway when he says "Well it doesn't feel that much different then before you swapped" I was just cruising/normal accelerating up to that point.

I stepped on the brakes (nobody visible in rearview mirror, 4 mile straight) and said, "You want to meet your creator", and looked at him (Just like Paul Walker to Eva Mendes in The Fast and The Furious 2 in the green Evo) and them floored it up to 112 (speed limiter). The look on his face alone was worth the entire swap

Since then he's been begging to drive the car

So the compliment was the look on his face and the fact that he cant stop talking about cars/tuning/performance when he's around me.

^^awsome!!

Time to bring this thread back from the dead.

At work, just talking to kill time...

coworker:"Dude, what year is your car?"

me:" 96' "

coworker:"Seriously? Damn! Everytime I see it I think 'That thing's got potential' "

then we spent 20 minutes chatting about our cars and our mods while one of the other guys was listening in and trying to make sense of our conversation lol

I like that no one expects our cars to be as old as they are

lately I get a lot of "Damn, is that thing turbo!?" "Nice set-up!" or "Take me for a ride!" which, after the ride, is usually followed by "holy crap! are you sure you're not making more than 200 horsepower?"

yesterday i think i got the best comment...me and sarah went out to get some food b4 she had class...so we went and grabbed a pizza and we were sitting in the car eating it at the plaza beside the pizza place and this kid is walking by just stairing at my car...like just jaw dropped, eyes fixed walkin by...doesnt even look infront of him...runs into a garbage bin and falls down. we started laughin and the kid yelled NICE CAR!..then kept walking.

hahahaha^^^ that's funny... Anyway, here's my story...

My Friend: What year is this Supra again?
Me: It's not a Supra... Its a 94' Celica
My friend: A 94 you said?
me: yeah
my friend: damn dude! My dad's got a 2005 civic and your's look newer than his.
