didn't buy an 8

well, i finally bought a new car, with all my other plans caving through, i ended up buying an '03 celica gt-s 6spd.

fun enough, would'v loved an 8, but it was too pricey. anyways, this'll probibly be my last post, so take it easy guys, it was a blast.

Don't leave..since the 04 model is the reported last year for the Celica (and the MR2) you can slide on back here later.

It doesn't rev as high as the 8, but I guess it's acceptable.

Hehe. I had an 01' GT-S and it was one of the best cars I've ever owned. Enjoy your ZZT.

I have to admit that they look pretty cool. My brother has one and he really likes it.

But it ain't no 8!

That's a good second choice. I traded my 02 GT-S for my 8. I loved my Celica it was always lots of fun to drive.

There are a lot of people who hang around here that don't have 8's and don't plan on getting them either...Look at IkeWRX for example.

I sat in one once and I liked the seating position. Low with your arms stretched if you like, kinda like in a open wheel race car?

I traded im my 03 Celica for my 8. I liked the Celica, fun to drive, good fuel economy. At the time it was really the only choice out there for a sporty car.
Toyota makes a fine product. Enjoy.
