Well then I suppose since I don't need a benz or a bmw then I guess I don't deserve it. And many here dont deserve the 3sgte swap.


And might I add you so called number 1 company in the world has its own fair share of gas guzzling suvs as well......land cruise, tundra, 4runner....then dont exactly run on hopes and dreams you know.

well i suppose many forum members...including myself are pathetic....sorry guys.

to the op...

this thread is never going to die..lol

I huff kitties and eat spotted owls fallen from logged trees!

why is that pathetic? if u want a big car...get one...i see little, tiny cars that drive just as aggressively as some SUVs. It is everybodys god given right to drive whatever they please.

So are you saying that everybody in the world should just buy a Toyota? If you can afford to spend 60-70 dollars on gas, then who cares? U have no right to bash people just because he/she WANTS to drive an SUV. If this is the case, then bash people with muscle cars, and Vettes. 350Zs, GTO's, G35 Coupes cuz i know they get as much gas mileage as most SUVs. The same people complaining about gas guzzling SUVs are the same people that dream of owning Zs, Supras, and G35s so ur full of it !!!
But of course now we all know that you guys would never jump on a chance of owning any of these cars cuz it eats up gas. If your argument is about gas u have no case.

Lets say you make 100,000 a year, doing whatever u do. Ur to tell me that u wouldnt buy a luxury vehicle of any sort? U wouldnt spend the money on a Lex, Bimmer or Benz cuz it guzzles gas? If you say u wouldnt, ur full of sht. If u can afford it, u would in a heartbeat.

Actually if I made 100k a year I'd still drive my celi but I'd put the 4A in it. I'd probably also own the TRD FJ Cruiser. Cuz well, I've got a beach 20 minutes away. Mmm dune drifting.

^ Forkee wtf man???? have you been taking intchy's caffene?

As for space panda...i hight doubt youd be rolling your celi if you made 100k a year

I'm with you on that one, I feel like everybody is brainswashed, I see people buying LCD TV they can't afford and it's the large ones too cause they hate on the smaller ones. People get supra and automatically people ask if they are turbo, if not they get that feelling that's its a POS. I got the same treatment with my WRX, people ask if it's an STI and I say no and it seems I got the turd model...WHAT ONLY 227 HP?

Probably anyone who looked through youtube, autoblog and streetfire comments section probably noticed that is completely filled with freaking "My car is better than that,faster, this is ****, my uncle's niece's defunct brother had a '70 camaro 16 years ago that would destroy the new skyline ,etc.", I sincerely hope most of those comment are made by teenagers, because damn, this is a sad world. We live in a world that people do what they want because they can not because they need.

People can buy what they want, only when you drive like **** your 80 000$ SUV, you look more retarded than the guy that parks his blazer against the lightpole.

You mistake me for a materialist. And I understand where you would get that, seeing as how I'm in America and all. But believe me when I say this, I love my celica. I've driven a lot of cars and some of them are very sexy. But nothing compares. I would want him a little faster, sure. Thus the swap. But no, I'd have my weekend toy and my DD would be Tom.

If I made 100k a year I'd still have my Celi, it'd just be a lot nicer. For example, it'd have that damn brake job and suspension I'm in dire need of. I'd replace the timing belt, and upgrade the exhaust so it'd not only drive a little nicer, it'd get better gas mileage too. And I'd probably have another car to drive just for winter, like a nice little AWD sedan number. I don't think I'd get an SUV again though, not until the Hybrids get better gas mileage.

I smell manure.

must be coming out of ur mouth..ooo lol jp

You say nothing compares, to what, your celi? What have you driven recently that doesnt compare?

Shougun stfu. U have issues. I remember um Pming awhile back to blow of some steam.

God grow up. You act like a child. Chill

Nothing compares to a Celica lol. I think its a fun to drive car.

Well it's not coming from here... just because I made 100k a year doesn't mean I'd go out and buy the first BMW or benz I could. (in fact, I'd never drive a Mercedes anyway, I really don't like them). I can think of other stuff I'd MUCH rather spend my hard earned money on, like having a kid finally and buying a house and building a killer retirement. It's about being able to afford the life you want to build for yourself, not about being all showy and flashy and ****. I genuinely like my car, even though it's slow as hell! I'd just be grateful that I was fortunate enough to make my car the way I really want it to be!

Now if, of course, the life you want to build for yourself includes a benz or whatever and flashy stuff to let everyone know that you make 100k a year, more power to ya. (not that 100k a year even goes all that far these days anyway) That's just not my style is all I'm saying.

...uh whats wrong with driving a benz and a bmw...

just so you know I am 23 and already building my killer retirement since 21, buy a house next year . Yes I'm building my life and being flashy doing it....there is nothing wrong with that. Im rewarding myself for busting my butt 5 years straight so far.

>

My friend's Mini cooper S, BMW M3 pushing 400 whp, Xrunner Tacoma, 2001 Corolla, 98 Miata, 96 mr2....

They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but I still wouldn't trade my celi for any of them.

I love how this went from disliking suv's to about comparing any car to a celi.

You sir have left me speechless

Good for you, I think that's awesome. You're an exception for your age. And there's nothing wrong with driving a benz and/or a BMW, I'm just saying I personally wouldn't drive a benz because I think they're flashy and austentatious and all about being status symbols. I just generally don't really think they're all that nice looking, either. Just an opinion. Now gimme a 3 series beemer, that I could get on board with. But it still wouldn't be my first choice car if I could afford any car I wanted.

You kinda seem to be riding my ass, do I just hit you wrong or something?

dang people... i make more than the said 100k a year and i still roll the celica everyday, and it doesnt have a 3s in it yet, and i am still concerned about gas, but geez... stereo types are horrible, i dont know why im even typing here but you guys need to calm down. one person's opinion is theirs, if you agree fine, if not oh well. if/when you can afford nice things it is nice and more power to you to pursue your dreams.

as for people who get stuff they cant afford for bragging rights, the country is full of them... credit cards anyone?????? im not concerned with the "national statistics" but from what i see, only about 30% of people in the US are on top of their finances as they should be, not late, paying as they should, the rest just bit off more than they can chew, some alot more than others.

as far as the argument that suv's and this car sucks and this car is better, i agree to a point. my tastes suit me differently than they suit another person.

---imagine the dumbest person you know, im talking the absolute dumbasses, no common sense, no book smart... and consider that they are just a little above the "average" american... so figure that all the smart and "normal" people out there above average as is the "dumb" person, theres just as many people who are below average and well well well below average out there that most people are oblivious to. these are the people that you only see in passing and have no clue about them, unless of course you work in customer service and then you only get to see about 20% of these individuals.

however streetfire and myspace and all the others seem to be crawling with them and their comments

unfortunatly i see 6gc succuming to them more and more over the years since i used to lurk on here like 4 years ago.

please stop these threads before it gets totally out of hand

and forkee is awesome with that gif hahaha

>

panda, we should get married some day, I think we're cut from the same cloth

>

Oh heck yes. You should come to the Texas meet. It's not that far....

i hate to break it to u guys but a Celica is not as great of a car as u make it out to be. It's a great car but u guys make it out to be the best car in the world which is furthest from the truth.

And yes the smell of manure is coming from in here.

Dude then what the hell are you doing on here. I don't know if you looked before you posted but this is a Celica Forum. Its called 6GCCelica Forum. So that would lead a reader to believe that their are people that love this car on here and, furthering that logic, that these people would love these cars and think of them very highly. So let me alleviate any further confusion. To many of us, these cars are Wonderful cars. Maybe not the best sure, but that's not the point. If you don't like the hype that some people give these cars, then heres food for thought. Think about your Favorite car, make sure though that you think real hard about it because we don't want to make this mistake again, go find a Forum that is all about that car and post on it.

Not trying to be a dick. But some of use love the hell out of these cars, and YES! Would continue to own it, and drive it, even if we had all the money in the world. Believe it or not, i don't care. but its true.

Ah, internet tough guy. Makes sense now.

And as far as the argument goes. SUVs and Trucks,to use them as a daily drivers is stupid and here is why.

1. They use a lot of gas no matter how you slice it, therefore making the need for gas higher,therefore making gas prices rise ,thus effecting everyone in the US because big cars are more so in America then anywhere else,grant you that's not the only reason they rise and you can also include cars like Mustangs but mostly SUVs and Trucks, but it helps. the bigger the demand the higher the price, and before you argue that, think about how many people drive big Vehicles, then realize thats just a fraction of the actual number. when you look at it that way it becomes a factor in gas prices. Thus effecting everyone.

2. They are big. Big cars are harder to drive. and i don't care what kinda of things are done to make it stable, you get it going and it will go. My Ex girlfriend roller her 2001 Ford Expedition because she was going the speed limit around a turn and had to turn sharply to avoid hitting a stalled car. at the time it was a new car. I'm sure that they have made some advances since then but not that much. Also,Personal choice should end if you are 5'5 and drive a HUMMER. Your to small. and even if you can see over the wheel, there should be a Driving class like 18Wheeler drivers have to take to learn on how to drive them. Because most people don't know how.

If you need it. Fine. drive it. its worth the issues they come with. But otherwise i don't believe they should be a daily driver, because of these reasons. but that's just me.

Actually I take it back. When I'm rich my daily driver is going to be a Hummer towing a 30' yacht.

I have not read all or the post nor do i care to but i figured there are a lot of replies so i might as well. I have a lifted 95 jeep grand Cherokee, my celica, and an 01 Tahoe. drive the tahoe in the winter, celica in the summer and the jeep whenever i feel like. What bothers me the most is when somebody voices their opinion, then fails to leave it at that, we all have opinions, don't try to tell me im wrong or that you are better, or this or that,we are who we are life is to short to bicker. enjoy yourself
