Another Celica bites the dust - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #67587 13 posts Started by MaskedMan
So today started off going to a BBQ/Toyota meet. Good turn out, only 6gc there though. Anyways, on the drive back, I started noticing a knocking noise and hoped with all my might that it was just the road. So I ease off the gas and the sound goes away, so I'm like, "awesome, it's fixed!" Wrong. My Celica decided to say goodbye as I coasted to the nearest highway exit. Pulled over to the side of the offramp, stepped outside, and saw a puddle of Celica blood. I was rolling with a caravan too, but guess who volunteered to take the rear? So after my caravan left me haha, I called a tow truck. The tow was expensive ($200) but oddly enough, the tow truck driver happened to be a 6gc owner hahaha. So I gave him the site info because after seeing my Celica he wanted to know where he could get all these parts from. It's odd that going to a Toyota meet, I can't meet any other 6gc owners, but I can randomly meet one on the side of the road. I haven't posted much here lately but thought I would give an update on my situation.
Sorry to hear man.. I hope everything works out for you.

It's cool. John never made it either. I was left alone, how sad. I think there's a Celica curse, in where bad things will happen to whichever Celica is last in a caravan. I just have to get this one back up and running in 3 days, because I think I can only leave it parked for 3 consecutive days. Luckily I have a few backup Celicas I keep in case of emergency. Always gotta be prepared. When it's back on the road, it will be back and better than ever smile.gif. Then we can celebrate by having a 6gc meet biggrin.gif.

I knows frown.gif. It's been awhile since I've taken it so far, so it probably just got a cramp or something.

Thanks. I haven't really thought too much about a swap (due to space to do it), but I've been looking at my options as what to do now. I have 24 hours to decide on my next move, and then another 48 hours to go through with it. I'll need overnight parts from Japan. laugh.gif
time to buy my celica! its a sign, was meant to be this whole time and now we know why
