My yellow 2002 Celica still looks brand new and always

My yellow 2002 Celica still looks brand new and always undercover. I love driving it and am the original owner. Still under 190.000 klm. I am 74 years old and dare anyone to overtake me or accelerate from traffic lights. 6 on the floor is a dream to handle. Always used premium petrol. My grandson who is 8 will inherit it. I

live in NSW Australia.

Sexy Little Toyota, Best Car Ever

This was an impulse purchase, I probably paid more than I should have but never a regret. I don’t know and didn’t care about all the engine/specs, I cared that it was sexy sporty red 6 spd manual. It handled better than anything I’ve ever driven - I felt safe and in control no matter the road conditions. Windy roads in the

mountains, 2 lane passing, tight turns and unexpected stops - traffic - never an and thought except xxxx this car can drive. I drove through a flash flood - hydroplaned - I didn’t see the water running across road until I was on it. It was deep enough to have water sloshing on floor board. That was scary but my car got right back on track. I even lost highway patrol once, I took advantage of a blind corner… oooops. I felt like an outlaw. Paint was crap, the clear coat peeled. But Toyota honored with new paint job. I can’t tell you how many teenage - and older boys- dared me at red lights… BEST CAR EVER.
