The first car I ever bought with my own money was a 1989 Toyota Celica in red. I fucking loved that car. 5-speed transmission, great on gas mileage. Once I got it up to 120 mph going downhill on an empty stretch of road. πŸš—πŸ’¨

Damn this is nice, never saw this model of Celica

And the eyeballs opened up πŸ˜„

Yes! When I first bought it the hydraulics on the headlights were dead. I left it like that for over a year until I eventually paid a couple hundred buck to get them replaced! 😁

Sweeeeeeet

Whoa, I just realized this iOS feature exists.

Cool! I haven’t seen that before.

Great car! I had a 1987. Such a fun ride!

When it eventually died I replaced it with a 1994 model in black. That was the first car I ever had with airbags. I kept it until my first kid was born and I realized a car seat didn’t fit in the back. Sad day. πŸ₯²

When my kids were both under ten I convinced my wife that this would be ideal as a family car since the rear seats were like jumper seats and as safe as any car.

I still own this car 15 years later πŸ˜‚

That car has rear seats? 🀣

It does! My kids could fit for about three years before I risked a visit from Children’s Aid.

Yes, but with a Porsche you could easily outrun them.

In todays world the car just feels fast at 272hp.

My neighbour is a porche enthusiast and has two of these style cars he is restoring. A bit older ones tho. Great design

Remember when the Nissan 300 came on the scene. That was - and still is - a great looking car.

The celica and supra were awesome cars. Early days of appreciating how much better Japanese cars were to the comparable American cars of the day.

They were amazing vehicles. Easy to maintain, fast, and had good resale value.

Yes! Exactly.

Totally

100%. My old Prelude was so fun. 2.1Litre engine but with a 5 speed manual you could control the revs. My model out performed the porsche's that year in the Road and Track slalom.

Ate oil and the valves needed adjusting Avery 6 months but rad car.
