I saw a guy getting in one as I was leaving lowes and asked him how
he liked his celica. Everybody loves that car it seems. Funny how
toyota discontiues some of the 'good' ones. I thought the MR2 spyder
was a cool car too. Cool name as well...

Yeah, the one I almost bought was a loaded silver GTS. I wish I'd
ordered one the next year because they offered HID headlights as an
option. That was the last year. It would've been nice to get one without
that foolish wing but I don't think you could do that. It's really dicey
buting a used one because the GTSs have sually been molested by a ricer
ot two. You'd think the Civic SI would be a similar fit and feel but
it's not. Antway, if I absolutely knew the history, I'd go for a used
GTS but I'm not very trusting. I think they did really stupid stuff with
the GT like drum rear brakes and no rear sway bar, which might've been
what you felt. I've seen a few automatic GTs around - talk about ball-ess!

The Scion I rode in felt like an orange crate with wheels stapled to
the sides.

We're talking Scions, not Skodas.

I know. A Skoda would probably ride better then a Scion.
