When you keep going back to read this "You know you own a Celica when..." thread and smiling with agreement as each new post appears!

I spent my money on wild women, partying, gambling,expensive timepieces, and my 6GC - the rest of it I wasted!

-When you realize that you could have bought a cheap mkIV Supra for what you've spent on the Celica.
-When you refuse to let a very reputable shop work on your car because you don't trust them with it.
-When you have the backwards mindset that spending money to mod your IS 300/350Z is a waste because that's money you could have spent on the Celica.

I know it's been said before, but I have to say it too being that someone actually asked me last night.

When people ask if your Celica is a modified Supra frown.gif

You know you own a Celica (ST anyway) when your main focus is good mpg, while still looking cool. thumbsup.gif

When you wave at a 6th gen owner as they pass by and smile, but they look at you in your Celica like you've got 4 heads. Seriously, can you not see that I'm enthusiastic about your car!? Lmao

^^ Lol so true. I was visiting my dad and working on the car earlier this week and discovered that in my absence since I moved out, someone with an Alpine Silver facelift ST204 (yep, I know all that because I own a Celica) has moved in about two miles from him. Brigette and I want to put a flyer on his car but we know he's not an enthusiast plus, living in the country like that, it's frowned upon to pull into people's driveways and check out their cars. Can you see his face when he opens the door and sees me lifting up his windshield wiper? "Ohhaithar, I wuz just checking out yore car! I liek carz!"

Another one I just remembered, you know you're a Celica owner when you have your debit/credit card numbers memorized (including the expiration date and security code) from buying parts online.

And when you buy parts on eBay you don't even need because you know they're worth more on 6gc. I once had 3 sets of JDM tails at the same time because I got then for under $130 shipped tongue.gif

You know you own a Celica when there's nothing wrong with your car, but you keep insisting on buying parts for it. tongue.gif

When your driving down the road with your wife (or significant other) and she (they) points out another Celica, so you jump through traffic to catch up and wave, only to realize its some real real old guy driving, and they have no idea why you pulled up next to them......happened so many times.....
Or you convince your kid (daughter in my case) that one day you'll find that old rusted out 1st gen and restore together. With the catch phrase "It'll be yours when your old enough" only to wish you never said it.

Maybe. I had a Mitsubishi 3000GT that I didn't even want to buy the parts it needed, so I sold it.

This whole thread is pretty much relevant to any enthusiast of any particular car, not just the Celica. People spend heaps of money and time on anything. Still fun though.

You know you own a Celica when you decide its worth keeping even though it is FWD and there is pretty much no other FWD car in the world that you would purchase.

you know you own a celica when you are on the thruway driving the speed limit, but your rpm's are at like 4000.
You know you own a celica when your wife understands if you dont buy this part right now you may never get this great a deal again

Hey now... some old guys know why you are waiving. wink.gif

JDM guy made me do it.
driving down the road the other day and my wife in her car behind me, passed another jdm celica in a parking lot with two guys in it, later my wife tells me when i passed them they were freaking out and the guy in the passenger seat was vigorously pointing at my car.

i would have acting the same way if my wife was in the car with me, but i was by myself so i was trying to play it cool
