Engineering at it's finest? Or worst? XD

diggin' the custom plates ;]

I had to :P

Had to?

Mine says OTHRKIN. I should take a picture some time.....

Two sweet rides, I gotta say I love the vanity plate the most though..hahahaha, I wish I had that!!

ooh nice set

i like those alloy rims on the 74 they polish up awesomely then a bit of the body color in the holes WIN

I C differences

Toys.

vroom vroom

Bwahahaahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahahahah.

VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Vroom vrooooomm.

*Eyes yer 02's xenon blue lights* Nuts! You don't use the same bulbs as I do!

mmm.... Toyota!

ooh posh custom plates. hehe I can talk I have some too. but I love the charcter of the 74

...I have seen you driving before

really?

yeah, I've seen an Illinois license plate that said MACRO on it x3 I just never put the two together xD

Wait, your in illi?

yup

I used to have 'GEEMS' in Florida. Now in Wisconsin I have nothing interesting. Wanh.

I have GRAUPH in California.

north,mid or southern?

northern

Ive been up there a few times... though not as fun as I would think on bike

OMG IM IN IOWA

Both are pretty slick looking though.

God that 74 is pretty. Nice buy :3

*74* In my day, we didn't have these new-fangled mp3's and whatnot!

*02* Granpa, shut up before I spike your meds again.

lol

So you *are* in Illinois.

Chicagoland?

Chicagoland :)

Sweet.

My chances of seeing you in your car are now magically higher than they were a few minutes ago. :P

Granted, I don't get out of my little suburb-city cesspool all that often...

Chicagoland :)

Yay! Eye candy for Matilda!

1974, dam, that car is as old as I am

and I live in mid-state Wisconsin, but I pass thru Chicago on occasion

I like the styling of he older one better, just my preference is all

ADMIT IT.

You're just buying celicas because they have celi in the name!

MACRO.

If I remember a old conversation with him, The Celi in Macroceli stands for Celica anyway, so, in a way your right.. sorta reversed.

NO! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT! I WANT TO BELEIVE HE HAS AN OBSESSION WITH BUYING A CERTAIN BRAND OF CAR BECAUSE IT IS TANGENTIALLY RELATED TO HIS FURSONA.

you really like that caps lock, don't you? :p

It is a bad habit I picked up from Chicago-Lollie and crew.

I would die laughing if I saw your plate on the road.

not from funny but from sheer epic fun ^^

Oldie but goodie.
LOVE vintage Japanese cars.
God, NOW I'M SOOO JEALOUS OF YOU.

I like the older one

bad ass!

The new celica, in my opinion, is a piece of crap compared to the older model. That has Rear wheel drive, right?

yep

Bad.
ass.

Seriously though, if i could choose from like, the 70's Japanese sports cars, I'd go for the KPGC10 Nissan Skyline GT-R

Hey, that's my baby you're talking about too

What, the new celica? I won't deny the fact that if tuned properly, it's a decent racer, but as a basic vehicle, it's terrible.

I drive mine for everything, just a daily driver all over... and I love it :D

*Shrugs* To each their own I suppose ^^

*steals the MACRO plate, then paints the other car to look like a muffin*

Prefer the older due to not having so much plasticy/shiny fiberglass crap for covering.

I've seen that toyota before, with the Macro plate. Heh, look out for a Silver jeep with "DRAGON" on the plate, that just might be me, and I'll run your ass over, I drive like a supreeeeeem asshole

heh heh, will do :D

I still say... Where on earth did you find such a nice looking 1974 Toyota? Your other Toyota is coated in salt. Cars that old are usually rust wagons here at that age!

I found it in New Mexico :)

Heh, funny thing about New Mexico...its not the salt you have to worry about...its the dust storms.

yeah the interior is filled with it :P

Oh man, I bet everything rubber under the hood will want replacing. I'm thinking it's pre-emissions, or at least mostly so it actually probably doesn't have very many vacuum lines and such at all.

Man I would love to see that thing up close, I have never seen a Toyota older than the mid-1980's, and even then the ones I have seen were in terrible disrepair

I have such a soft spot for 60s and 70s cars

Comparatively I think they both are pretty sweet! Sneaky sneaky with the plates! You going to put CELI on the other?

I might transfer the "macro" plate to the other one. Might be selling the '02

Ah, either way still cool!

Eeeeee your custom plate says MACRO
Mine says R4PTOR
We should hybridate them and get a MACRORAPTOR!

You think for someone that had the vanity plates as "MACRO" you would be seen in something bigger.

Apollo-

You have Macro on the front of your car? XD

Oh my. You're new one is...gorgeous. The ST, is that the 1.6L?

I love the plate. The one I have on my Z is EIDY. ^__^

It the St but it has an 18rg engine

I was drivin down the road next to a first generation last summer in my last gen. I have to admit, it felt kinda strange.

Ive never seen a first gen in the flesh other than mine.

I'm all gay for your cars.

I find it funny that such a big rex likes driving such small cars.

I bet you can get some sweet jumps on that thing!

them Duke boys are gonna be in a heap of trouble...

Sadly here in Russia have left so few of them. I like this type of a cars, round front lights this boxy design, i just love it. It's a nice car, though i bet it needs a lot of work to do, is it?

yeah,the interior need a lot of work. but it runs well

Even no rust on body?

no rust, its amazing!

I gots the middle child kind!

oh yeah? what year?

FUCK YEAH! I ALWAYS LIKE THEM CELICAS! both old and new!

1989!

my friend has one of those. i love the popup headlights

Honda had that first with the 1986 Honda Accord, I had a 1988 Accord, they were awsome

I had an 87!

Does your actual license plate say Macro on it? XD

yup

God I love the old Celicas, fantastic looking car. Is that a '74?

Not a fan of what they did with the last generation :( never understood why they switched them over to FF in '86, but the 4wd models were pretty sick.

That looks like a very fun ride! Darn, I envy you! x3

i thought they where still making the cilicas?

No, they stopped due to lack of sales, the last year was 2005. Toyota doesn't really have any decent sports cars left now, until they release the new Supra. This thing is Japans take on a muscle car...o.O

http://www.topspeed.com/cars/toyota.....ra-ar6872.html

oh good lord they have ruined the supra name T_T

I think Toyota wanted to compete in the global supercar market and they wanted something on the level of Lamborghini, Nissan GT-R, Corvette Z06, Ford GT500, Audi R8, and Porsche 911 Turbo and RS GT3. I don't think we're gonna see anymore 3.0L turbocharged engines like those in the 90's, I'm afraid.

yeah the real cars where once you did work yourself you had an awesome machine for racing XD

I don't think that car would ruin the supra name, not at all.

it would its not big >.< nearly every supra was a big monstrocity where its engine took up a 3rd of the car >.< i know i have a mk3 parked out side though ma dad is comin to collect it tomorra

love the celica

I am jealous!
All I have is an Isuzu Rodeo :<

the old celica would say. "hey bro"

From the way you were describing the older Celica in your last submission, I get the impression that deep down, you're a bit of a motoring purist? i.e. You like the new Celica with its racer looks and modern touches, but really there's a part of you that harkens back to the simple pleasure of classic car motoring.

Am I right?

that is a pretty cool picture

that looks like a pretty damn good condition car, the older one I mean :3

I've got a friend who has the last gen with the Aero kit. His dumb ass got caught street racing in broad daylight, but he didn't totally get fucked in the ass, he still has the car.

My first car when I started driving in 1987 was a 1977 corolla. When I wanted something nicer, but at a similar price, I opted in 1989 for a 1977 celica GT. Also brown, like yours, it was a hatchback. I did love it, despite its flaws and cracked dashboard. Pity the vinyl of 1977 had such problems with poor plasticizers. I think it is very cute how celica of 1974-77 was style influenced by the Ford Mustang. Also, IMO, much more appealing in style then the Datsun/Nissan entries.

Nice find, keep it away from the salt :)

COOL!! custom licence plate

My car waves hello :D *waves coupe door*

Are those the stock lights on the new celica or is it an HID kit?

HID kit

What kind? How much? Cost of install? Sorry I'm so inquisitive :P

The brand is Xenon Storm. I think I paid around $200. I installed them my self (very easy, plug & play)

Damn, I really need to get myself a sweet ride once my lisence has been upgraded! XD

Hehe I'll buy the last generation too one day ^^

Nice photo, the view that you took it at is nice. Well, the last generation must definitely be the one to the left. <XD lol.

Nice license plate.
I've got a California one that says "I♥ SONIC" ^^

Though I'm more of an American performance car person (family thing- I plan to have an El Camino one day) I absolutely love the Celica, and old-to-new shots are always cool.

I love those wheels on the 1st gen Celica.
