I've been around for a good while, don't plan on getting rid of mine any time soon

[Pribilof]

I've been around since July 2000. I still have my car but I'll be looking for something new this fall.

[Lormax]

Bought in April 2000, was on the site...not sure? hehe, guess I'll find out after I post :)

[b0x]

please define Original Generation, as it pertains to this website.

[coOOlcelica]

i still have mine :)

but i am prolly going to add a new STI to my list in addition to the celica.

[CeliCar]

Got mine 3/00 but I had a 6th gen before it and so I was lurking around for Celica info before this board was here :)

Toyota Celica Online was about the only decent site for the Celica until 7'th gen came out. Toyota had to do something right for there to be such a large explosion since then.

I will probably have mine for a long time to come since I hardly put any miles on it while at College. Now with DD's kit around the corner it makes even less sense to take a huge loss on a car that is still 99.9% good as new.

[mac340]

don't remember how long i have been here (i guess it says when i registered on my post) bought my celica in march of 2000, 60k and no plans to get rid of it.

[EuGeNiLe GTS]

a lot of teh real OGs came from the OLD celica.net boards.. the free ezboards with hella popup celica.net boards.. if u remember those days.. ur pretty OG..

June 2000 (celica)

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

wow lot of lurkers :D

[djm221]

I came on board in June 2000 (or july, we'll see when the post is up), but the 3 year lease was over 4/17/03, and I turned her back in. Cleaned, Waxed, and detailed one last time, and the mother****er's at the dealership still have my baby sitting in the back collecting rain and pollen. Poor thing probably has trees sprouting on it.
Two days before turning it in, I picked up a 1999 Miata with the sport package. Life is much better with the proper wheels propelling the car :D

got my car feb of 2001 but been on this board and also on celica.net since march of 2000. I remember back then celica.net had tons of pop-up...too many that I got frustrated and start posting on NC instead. I think a majority of people also got annoyed with it. At the moment, the car has 74k on it and still going strong, :) not gonna part it out and if I do, it will stay in the family no matter what, :D

I remember those days... those celica.net boards sucked. Slow, popups all over the place, etc. Good people on that site back then though.

[Blue Bomber]

I also started as a lurker back in Feb '00 on Celica.net. I got my Celica on 4/19/00, and registered over there and and here. Eventually, Celica.net got lame cause all the knowledgable people started migrating over here, and I've been mainly here ever since. :D

[iDRIVE]

Bought celica april 2000
sold december 2002

started at celica.net march 2000, cant rememeber when did i migrate at NC.org, i had another account registered a few months before this one.

I remember when spoolin had the fastest run. And how the owner of celica.net accused LarryD of stealing the layout for the regional forum. Back then 56k was the **** :D.

back then it was all about free internet service such as NETZERO, :) and also the ad making money where you left the ads running and they give you .01 cent for every minute or something like that, the most I got from that was 150 bucks, :) I forgot what its called but I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. Ya I remember watching one of spoolin video which I still have. Man those were the days.

[EuGeNiLe GTS]

yes i remember the controversy with the copying of the regional forums layout.. LOL.. and who remembers TheMot.. and if u remember those old celica comic (picture sequences) my lil cousin and i made.. then uve been around for a long time..

[Keyshawn]

Bought my car in June 2000. Discovered this site, celica.net, and Unison's old message board around that same time and lurked until October 2000. Been representing hard for the 7th gen Celica for a little while now.:burnout:

looks like we have a lot of true Celica peeps in here! Suprised Redline didn't go into the 'i'll enjoy every minute driving it, even though its back to stock" speech I saw in the regional forum... :gap:

Bought mines on 9/20/00, a 2001. This upcoming Sept. will be it's third year but I DON'T plan on keeping it that long. Looking to sell or trade in for a TSX or Evo, or maybe a used IS300.

[CelicaDetective]

I was here since 2000. Followed the Celica since the unveiling of the XYR. Is was to be my dream car, but the 200+ HP numbers did not make production.

I was going to get a Celica GTS 6-speed, but it was too slow and too cheap for my liking.

I was going to get an EVO 8, but after Mitsubishi's antics with price gouging...

I have fallen to the 2003 Ford SVT Cobra


Mike
I still like Celica's though ... sexy lookin cars

[J2KGTS6]

still have my celica :chuckles: 3 years 67,100 miles and counting. I've had my car since March 2000.

[Bo]

Had mine since the introduction of the car back in 99 as a 2000 model. It took me 6 months just for my order to come in from Japan, so I don't think it will be going anywhere for a while.

[Phil C]

Picked mine up at the beginning of November 1999, still have it and probably will for another year or two. Only has 45,000 on it right now. I think there are a few who have had their 7th gen longer than me but not many.

I guess you can tell I'm an oldster by the fact that I'm the one who wrote up the instructions on removing the reverse beep way back in Jan or Feb of 2000.

I'm also one of the ones who remembers TheMot and the old popup boards.

nxracer was around long before I was though, out of those who are left he might be the longest time member if you count his time over at Celica.net.

I would say I'm a long time member, since say May of 01, but I don't have a Celi.......
Bo, You better keep that car, after over a year of it sitting then putting everything back together yourself with your Gucci Headliner, that car isn't going anywhere......:thumbup:

[pokgai]

ive been here a while, not as long as most of you though... still have the celica!

[dawgg]

Bought mine back in Jan or 2000. Signed onto the forum around then. I remember back then pulling the butterfly valve was the big mod. And when we were waiting for the aem intake for months and months. Still love the car, been looking for a car to replace it but can't find one i think i'll like more.

[yota_racer]

Ordered early November of 99'
Picked up on November 23rd 99'

39,263 miles to be exact. :gap:

I've been here since 1999 Before the board updates and what not. I still have my Celica.

I've been with the celica boards since celica.net was still on ezboard. haha, I remember those days.

too bad I don't have the celica anymore. :(

Yeah, Unity, I remember when we used initiate those email campaigns and what not to get more mods. Some members back then just didn't get what we were trying to accomplish. It's taking a long-a$$ time, but the Celica performance aftermarket is slowly getting to where it should be. Props for your efforts throughout the years, man.:thumbup:

been here since july 2000 when I bought my first celie RIP now had a chance to get a diffrent car ...........but stayed true to my crew.

Didnt you own the orange celica with vents on the side? Im still debating between the EVO8, STi, and IS300. EVO8 price droped dramatically, my local mitsu dealer is selling me a loaded EV08 with sport gauge(boost gauge and what not) for under 30k. After the STi comes out, I bet EVO8 price will drop some more.

[00 scrub]

Been here since, umm I don't know, mid 2000 or something, I came over after the mass celica.net exodus. DIDn't get my car until 2001 though. BTW whatever happened to PhaqGM and Spoolin? Oh yea LemonCelica how can we forget. I still remember reading the thread that the Alt Celica owner posted on celica.net when he had his XS turbo installed. Hopefulyl this site will eb around for antoher 7-8 years. I don't think I'll sell my Celica for along time. It'll make a goo dproject car in 10 years.

[PoweredbyRICE]

but after watching Xmen2 today...i think im gonna trade my car in for a blue RX-8 like the one in the movie

[CelicaDetective]

Nope, never owned a Celica, just the 1997 Saturn SC2, which I ended up keeping as a daily driver, and bought the 03 Cobra which so far is SICK FAST with no mods to date. When I start getting slaughtered by Vipers, Z06's and heavily modded supercars, then I'll probably start modding, but I don't usually run into those.

EVO 8 and STi are the same class of car, IS300 is just a luxury sport thingy and you pay for the Lexus nameplate.

To help finalize your decision between the EVO 8 and the STi (both harsh rides, built for performance, you'll feel every bump and groove in the road), read the latest U.S. Spec reviews of EVO8 vs. STi in Car and Driver and Road & Track (just in the mail this week). The EVO 8 is the best track car, and the STi is the best "around town" car with better straight-line acceleration and refined interior. To buy an EVO 8 and never take it to the track would be a waste of money.

The EVO 8 price won't drop because the car is still limited in quantities this year, and the STi will even be harder to get since there are only around 3500 units planned per year for the USA. Expect to pay at least MSRP for the WRX STi - so you will get a better deal on the EVO 8. Personally, I like the WRX STi better. The interior of the EVO 8 makes my Cobra interior look and feel like the best interior in the world lol .... EVO 8 is plain .... and when all is said and done, it still looks like a LANCER. So whatever your cup of tea is, go for it.

If you're considering the Lexus IS300, please consider the Mercedes Kompressor hatchback that sells for around the same price range as long as you don't buy crazy options. I like that one, my girlfriend's brother has the 5-speed automatic version and it's a fun ride and sounds great along with Mercedes luxuries.

Bought the celi in May of 2001...was checking out celica boards and lurking on celica.net since then...didn't join here till jan. of 02 though

[Need4Spd]

I was one of the first 30 or so members of The Celica Files which later evolved into Celica.net.. yeah, those were the days. No one had a celica yet, we just talked about lookin at them at the dealerships. I remember larryd posting about this site over there and everyone was raggin on him... and then I got my car in March 2000.. and, well, made the switch to here :)

[racinjason]

I was member #3. Joined on the first day when I got the email from Larry that the new site was up. Back in the day when LarryD and the rest of us were up and coming while Celica.net was the king of 7th heaven. Still here everyday with my 00 GTS. Ordered it in Oct. 99, picked it up on Dec. 6th 1999 at 4pm. Just turned 10,000 miles on it three weeks ago. Garage kept and babied.

Remember the craze over the Powerhouse CAI? that was awesome.

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

DAMN UR LIKE THE LURK GOD!!!

[Speck102]

I have been a lurker since the beginning because I always wanted to trade in my 6th gen GT for a 7th gen GT-S. I finally registered sometime in 2001, and later in November of 2002, I finally got my 7th gen GT-S. As you can tell by my post count, I don

[gc gt]

i had a 94 ITR, and bought my GT on march 2000. I still LOVE my car like day one. She is still very beautiful in my eyes. I will pick my Celica over my girlfriend in a heart beat. hehe

[po9i]

got mine feb 00 still have it but will be going to my is shortly....

[daSchtick]

I've been here registered since July of 2000, and I bought my Liquid Silver beauty in September of 2001. I was the first owner of a 2001 GT-S at the time, and everyone wanted to know what had changed for 2001.....essentially nothing!

It is used as my daily driver and weekend toy, as we use my wife's car for family duties. I still love the car, and I have kept mods to a minimum (17" RS Limited Mase with 205/45/R17 Yokohama Parada Spec 2's, OEM 16" wheels with Dunlop Winter Sport M2's, TRD exhaust, and red calipers). The car has performed extremely well, and had only been back to the dealer once in 29,000 miles, for the infamous belt tensioner TSB, and sticky rear brake slides.

Overall, I am very happy with the car, and I plan on keeping it for quite a while, as it is extremely fun and cheap to run (almost 30 MPG). Sure, I get excited about the new "flavor of the month", and in almost 3 years it's gone from RSX-S, to WRX, to 350Z, to RX-8, to G35 Coupe, and now to Evolution, yet I still love my Celica. Also, the 3-year point is where depreciation finally slows, and you can enjoy a really nice car, and yet retain some equity.

Bought my car Feb 2000, registered here in april, 01, Still have my car, the mod list continues to grow and will be growing for the next couple years still. No plans for selling the car.

[Chumpchiggy]

Um.... I've been here a long time.

The Celica Files was my first home... then phewl.com I eventually registered here in March of 00 I think...

bought my car Feb 24th 00. Still trying to sell her... just crossed 32k on the ODO

[Mistrimeat]

I dont really consider myself an "OG'er", but I still have mine after 2 years. Only 3 more to go before its paid off, and I can get rid of the mofo!

[Mirwolf]

ive been around for awhile, got my car in may 2000. Still got the Celica and going onto 50,000 miles. :)

[afghan]

Bought, Oct. 1999 and turned in December 02 with 56,000miles, and still drove, ran, and looked new.

I ordered my new 03 celica, which should be here in a couple weeks.

The choice is still obvious. Need I say more.

Some people get it, some people never will.

[gnes100]

Bought my car march 2001 been here for bout as long ... used to go to phewl.com to check out celica stuff b 4 i found this sight

[ArchangelX]

Welps...still around..but obviously with a different car. I still love the Celica, though..and am seriously considering picking up a project Celica a few years later down the road and really going all out on it. I think picking up a nice used Celica GT, and turbo-ing the shiat outta it with no worries sounds like fun.

Plus...the Celica IS one of the most amazing cars around when it comes to it's looks.

[BlackGT]

Cmon Darkstar, forgot me? :(

Celica purchased Feb 2000, I was on the board originally in Nov of 99, re-registered when server crashed in Feb.

Bought my GT-S in October of '99. The first one in the region. 104,000 miles and counting!

[SMALLtme]

Bought my 2000 Celica in April 2000 and joined NewCelica.org in Aug. 2000. My car is at 59,900 miles and I love my car. The Celica has never given me any problems so I'm trading it in for a 2003 Action Pack Celica GT in Solar Yellow. It's not a GT-S but I liked it just the same. I signed the papers last night and will be picking it up tomorrow. :D

[CelicaChick0406]

Ive been here since the beginning too, just had to get a new name... I was the FIRST and Original "celicachick" heh.. still got my baby...

Registered Jan 2000, got the car Apr 2000. I have almost 57k and it's still running strong. I have a few mods and I'm happy with each one of them. I just started going to track days and realized just how much fun driving the celica could be. I just wish I would have started going sooner with my car! :burnout:

[Tom]

Had my Celica since Feb 00.

[solidsnakealpha]

I owned Celica's for 8 years.......had a '92 GT for 5 years and then a 2000 GT that I bought back in January of 2000. I was a lurker for a long time till I joined back in September of 2000......as you can tell, I haven't posted in quite a while and all my old posts are gone. I turned the 2000 GT in back in January of this year (3-year lease), but had already joined the Honda camp back in December of '02 when I took delivery of a 2003 S2000.

I still love Celica's, but with all the current cars available for a just a little more dough, Toyota's offerings just aren't what they used to be. I test-drove the MR2 Spyder w/ the sequential manual (MSRP in the $27K range, 3-year lease rates in the mid-$400's) and it was just no contest compared with the S2000........same result when looking at an '03 GT-S. Toyota needs to introduce a competitive performance car in the $30K price range, a la Nissan 350Z, Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Honda S2000, Mazda RX-8, etc. As it sets, it's no surprise that their average buyer's age hovers in the mid-40's. And don't even get me started on their new Scion division.......... They need to offer a car that young Celica owners can graduate to when they get into the professional ranks, and that's something they are sorely lacking at this point. (Excuse me for the rant, it's just that I hated to leave Toyota after 8 years of Celica ownership........)

--Scottie

[rddcelica]

heh...been a celica owner since 99' bought my 2k GT-S 10/01

sold that 11/02 for a 00 z28 camaro

sold THAT 4/03 for the new project....98" jeep wrangler....and lemme tell you....wheeling is the BEST....sooo much more fun than speed any day IMO. so much fun tryin to climb the rocks, barrel through the mud, etc. now i just need money to REALLY mod it, lol

This thread would have been a lot shorter if the question was:

How Many OG'ers still have there turbo'd Celica? :chuckles:
