finely got a new DD so i dont have to drive the 4runner everyday. i got a 2001 toyota celica GT. i must say after only owning trucks and SUVs the celica feels like its glued to the road on turns

Is that going to be possible? small cars are always fun to drive!

yes its possible lance :P although the temptation to get on it is always there, the urge to succumb to the temptation lessens :P

looks like a clean Celica

;) I give him 2 weeks of having to drive in freeway traffic before he misses the 4Runner.
~Being able to see over traffic>Being able to dice through traffic and windshield chips. I learned that w/ the wagon. I liked it for what it was, but I liked driving the Runner better. Besides, armor means they're less likely to just cut you off.

Nice Celica :thumbup: I've always liked that body style, just wish Toyota had done more with it or that the after market picked up on it and made more go-fast products.

. . . just one word of warning, I don't know how true this is, but I've heard that engine can float valves if you're driving angry and miss a shift at redline (float, as in, "no longer following the cam" and possible contact with the pistons)

Looks like fun!! A coworker of mine had one of those, he loved it - except for the time he ran into someone's trailer hitch and messed up the front. :P
