I am so happy I was at K-Mart looking for some 4mm machine screws, they didn't have them big surprise and I found what I've been looking for for over a year.
A Toyota Celica "Tuners" car It's got the ground effects on it, tinted windows and a speakerbox in the trunk.
I don't collect Hotwheels but I have really wanted to have one of my car. I will post a picture of it tonight. I'm inspired, it's red just like my car, I might just do the exact same graphics, and ground effects kit.

Xlnt...I was at Kmart last weekend and picked up one myself. Ran across it accidentally. It's purple in color, with a bodykit and decals. One big decal across the side that says RHL Turbo Man...whatever that means.

I wonder if they have one of these in a blue color...that would be sweet. I remember when I was a little kid I collected Hot Wheels...ahh...those were the days.

All is cool but the decals, bling wheels, and the wing that looks like its made of icing. The blacked out headlights maybe should be only tinted for legal reasons.

Looks cool if you ask me...they should make one with interchangeable parts so you could mod it like your real car.

i stood in wal mart for i swear 2-3 hours straight looking for that thing! there was a huge ass tub full of those hotwheels and i ran across all the other tuner series alot but never the celica. everyone i mean EVERYONE that came up to the tub i asked them if they could help me find the celica. i even asked this little 8 year old boy. n he was like.. oh i have that car. i thought he was just stupid and i was like... the C E L I C A?? he's like yeah i have all the tuners series. i was omg... and i kept searching and i saw the rest of the tuner series like a million times then finally i lost hope. i was exhausted... right when i gave up... i looked at the pile and there it was... my celica... i couldnt believe it. my best 97 cents i spent in my life

Don't be fooled that things SMALL as hell..lol.
I've got three..one in red..and the other in yellow.
It's just the earlier released versions in a new paint job.
That wing is HORRID. I'm gonna cut mine off and repaint the red one..heheh.
What sux is that the really COOL ones..the one where you can interchange the parts...gah..Toyota's not doing one!!!
They've got Integras, Eclipses, Civics...but NO Celica..aargh..I want one of those..they're badass!

The tuners and the 2002 edition of the celica have been out for a few months now. Some places you can get those cars for $.50. I just got a Maisto 1/64 scale version of the Celica in Yellow. Are there any more Companies that make the Celica other then AutoArt, Hot wheel, Tomica, Etc?

I took the pictures with an Olympus 300 camera in Super High Quality Mode with all the lights on and a flash. I put the camera into Macro Mode, setup a tripod and snapped 10 pictures to get the ones I posted.
