Well somebody is dumb at my end. It turns out that my daughter (I
blame her) closed the door with the seat belt hanging out and the door
light was left on. This was enough to discharge the battery completely
in just over a day.

I renewed my car rescue membership and waited one day to call them;
they came and gave me a jump start.

Thanks for the advice, I will keep it for when I need it next. I want
to keep my Celica, even when I buy a new car. Does anybody think that
1995 Celicas can become vintage cars in the future? They have a nice
design

Give the Celica about 7 or 8 more years.

LOL! Unfortunately, the car community does not look on Toyotas with the
same feelings we do. They view them as 'appliances' rather than "Motor
Cars". There are few exceptions, like the Toyota 2000 GT from 1968-1972
and the original Nissan 240Z. Some Supras are 'admired', too.

However, others of us like to see a Toyota or other Japanese car in good
condition running like a top, especially if we've owned one before.
