hey u guys whats up!!! im now a fellow celica owner!! my parents decided to get me my celica today at Kearney Mesa Toyota!! selection was very limited only 3 celicas to choose from, a white gt 5sp manual. auto gt carbon blue celi, and a silver action package sportshift auto..i test drove the 5 sp gt and absolutley loved it!! my parents had enough cash for a GTS but they were afraid i would do something stupid with it since im being 17....so there goes the GTS :(, so im fine and decided ill wait for a carbon blue 5 sp gt to come in, no luck my parents said they wanted an auto so that they could drive it. Ahhh so much for having a celica..so they decided that they would get me the carbon blue celica gt auto, it looks beautiful! its fully loaded and i just took pics today of it. it has the moon roof, 15inch rims, power locks etc. it drives great and i love the handling (im coming from an explorer and 88 celica st) i love my parents to death for buying me it , its just i wish i could of gotten the 5sp instead :(...hey
xX KinGXx i can join u now! lol...

That's kool, my parents did the same thing for me but my dad said let's go look at the new Celica since I was telling him that I wanted one real bad. Then he test drove the GT-S 6 Spd and said he would get me the car. I wasn't expecting that so I am really great full for what they did. I had to learn how to drive a manual but it was worth it compared to the automatic civic I had. Have fun with your Celica and good luck.

Vroom_vroom and Midnight, you guys have awesome parents! I mean my folks would never do something like that for me. I hope that you thank them every day for making your celica dreams come true. They did an amazing thing for you and they deserve a lot of respect and to know that you are going to drive safely (most of the time!).
Congratulations and enjoy.

The fact that 17 year olds are getting Celica's is another reminder that if you are over the age of 21 you should go buy yourself a car like the EVO :)

i love this car to death!!! altezzas will never touch this car neither will any of those aluminum wings!! mabey a nice simple molly designs kit and rims and a system at the most..adding an exhaust to an auto sounds kinda funny so mabey a nice K&N drop in right!? thanks for the compliments~! oh yea
REDCELLYINFL- my parents thought the gts was too man of a car for me hahaa, i let a rip in the 5sp gt and they thought it was more than enough! either way i love it!!
bluebat- you should be able to spot me! i think im the only Carbon blue celly in MM i think..
any HP gains from a K&N drop in!? thanks!
i was just hoping for atleast a manual..

hey welcome to the auto gt club =)
i wanted a manual too, but for the same reasons (parents) i got the auto, do i regret it? not for a minute (well maybe 30 seconds).
K&N i think should have hp gains, but go for an Injen CAI instead.

Hmmmm........your parents thought the GT-S might be too much for you so you think you'll get a MR2 turbo for a project car? For some reason I'm doubting that....:)
PS-Congratulations on the car, by now you should know everything there is to know about Celicas.
