fule stable

you should tell your parents to run your car once in a while, dont let your hoses and seals go bad

[tlminh]

i say sell it, it'll just depreciate sitting there in a garage.

Sell it, put the money into a savings account or whatever smart investment, come back in 3 years and by then, you can buy another celica at a cheaper price or a whole other car

btw, good luck in the navy

[booyaolian]

oh yeah...sell the car since you are gonna be in japan for 3 years or 4.

[Royalcelica00]

word... its a waste to put a 00 celica in the garage for 3 yrs..

[toyotarkeener]

In 3 years the value of your celica will probably be ~ 6 grand depending on the mileage. Hell, in 3 years it may be worthless because we will be out of oil.

If you are gonna keep it, just be sure your parents start it once a week. They don't have to drive it, but just starting it will keep the hoses and seals from deteriorating(as stated above)

Do an oil change before you leave too.

[Mistrimeat]

Sell it and use the money on japanese hookers.

[00gtsGETemHIGH]

do a complete detail. put it on jack stands or bricks. keep the car covered. fuel stabalizer, change oil, unplug battery. full tank of gas.

my cousins prelude is in his garage til he's done with school in hawaii. 4 years. comes back every year and drives it, and repeats the storage pocess.

hopefully his hoses don't crack.

dude! 3 or 4 years??? sell your car and get another car when u come back, whats the point of keeping your car that u dont use and the price going down every year? It is better to put the money in the bank.
One more thing, before u come back, think about what kind of car u wanna get and bring some JDM parts from there :D

[toyotarkeener]

Or bring back a JDM car. Cough Skyline, Cough S15

[nudge1201]

Sell it and use the money to get u a car in Japan. JDM car are very very cheap used there you could get a much better car with the money you would get selling your celica.

3-4 years?--it won't matter: hyperinflation. Bring back JDM parts and trade it to ricers for rice! ;)

yes trade them for rice, that will be our fuel source in a few years, mark my wordz.



id sell the car, put it into a higher intrest account, or invest it. youd make money on it. plus after 4 years, it will need some work and will smell funky.

[v4shj16]

damn it, i didnt realize it would be soo much of a hassel. Im leaving tommorw! i dont think i have time to do all that stuff. I guess i could sell it but idk if i want too cuase its already in great shape now , if i can keep it that way i can have a 10 year old car that looks and runs great. and they dont make celica's ne more so it'll be even more rare and thats what i like, having something else that no else has. i have ww body kit, replica trd spoiler and raised hood scope, i have yet to see a car just liek mine ne where b4. and i plan on saving up as much money as i can whlie in the navy and then buying liek a next gen. supra or soemthing when it comes , which it should come out by the time im out. But i heard japan is really expensive, can u tell ne thing else about japan?

[Mistrimeat]

[jeetee-ess]

Sell it and use the money on japanese hookers.

Hey, thats why I'm here. Happy to help out.

[canton_ph34r]

the cost of living I believe is more expensive but if you are gonna live on a ship or base, whatever the navy puts you in the only thing that will cost more to you is probably food.

Cars on the other hand are pretty cheap since its not uncommon to find decent running cars in junkyards or used car lots that will sell them for a penny.

[v4shj16]

You guys.... i need more information. an island full of japanese ppl , i already knew that!

[00GTS26]

sell it, but if you really dont want too unhook the battery, take off tires and put it on jack stands cover it, and make sure no mice can get into it, and make sure fuel is stable

[booyaolian]

it is a awesome country. that is all i can tell you now.

jap girls are crazy about white guys. they will **** you as long as you speak perfect english.

some are crazy about blacks as well.

[v4shj16]

[Celi702]

[celicadriver01]

Where are they sending you in Japan?I can help and give you some info/advice. I am going on my 8th year in NAF Atsugi about an hour outside of Tokyo and close to Yokosuka naval base.
I was lucky I could leave my Celica with my brother and he is taking car of it. My current car here is a 1990 300ZX Fairlady Z......SO NICE! Wanna know about getting a car here, let me know!

You have to make sure the fuel's chemical compounds have oxidized with the nitrogen particles to form a stable mixture. Don't you know anything?
