So I got a new beater...

**Burrcold** · 01-11-2007, 11:24 PM

Well not really.

Finally sold the G.

Bought my 3rd 7th gen Celica today...might be a record haha. Also had a 4th gen, this is my 4th Celica.

Anyway, I got a great offer on the G that I couldn't give up, and the Celica was a safe bet since I can get parts for dirt cheap at work.

I've always loved the Celica (obviously), and this way I will have a lower monthly payment until next year when I decide on something new. Nothing that is showing is really making me "want" like the G did a few years ago.

SOOO...back in the family! :)

..oh yeah so it's a 2003 TRD GT (decided on the GT only because I can get 1zz parts for free). 52K, pretty much mint interior and exterior.

Pics will come soon but everyone knows what the TRD GT looks like...silver exterior, TRD kit, red suede and leather interior, panasonic MP3 stock, etc).

That's all.

The plan is to have the wedding paid off by the summer. Then I can sell it once something comes up that I like (hoping to see a nice TSX Coupe soon).

I've already owned a current gen Accord Coupe V6 (was not all that impressed). I know the Euro R version of the Accord (TSX here) is probably a hell of a ride, but since the Accord and TSX are getting completely redone by the end of the year I will wait...SPECIFICALLY for the TSX Coupe that is suppose to come along with the redesigned TSX.
