Thanks again, bert. I hadn’t seen the comments about the S2000-engined Celica but what you described reflects perfectly why we have so much work to do to bring respect to cars like the Celica.

Bring a Trailer also posted a 77 Celica with an S2000 motor for sale that a bunch of people are picking on. There are several references to how the japanese stole the styling from the early Camaro! There are also complaints that the asking price is to high for a car with ” a lack of cathcet” and ” not investment grade”. Tell that to the guy selling it who put lots of time and hard earned dollars into his pride and joy! I’ll bet when he’s throwing that thing around a windy road or beating the snot out of the Camaro who was laughing at him at the stoplight, he’s measuring his cars worth by the pure AWESOMENESS factor and not what some snobby guy in finicky european brick thinks of it!

Love the factory CB radio in the Celica – Nothing like the 70’s.

Very well said, Bert. Some of their comments also seem to have a certain disdain for the car, simply because of the badge it wears.

That front lip would last about 50 feet in New England. Before it got caught in a pot hole and flipped the car end over end. Haha.
