Last week marked the end of the road for the Celica and myself, after 9 years and 175k miles. And four mailing addresses. And four jobs. And (I think only) 3 speeding tickets.
It was the first new car I bought, right out of college. I loved driving it, loved driving around with Kate in it, and did not love putting a car seat in the very small back seat.
Here’s a photo from the fall of 2001.

So sad :-( We know how much you’ll miss it!

Aww.:(
We can all relate to this in some form. Nothing brings more fond memories as your first car..your first NEW car and your first dad car. Soon enough you’ll buy a post-kids car, maybe a restored Celica, or maybe that GTI post VW’s quality fix program!
Also bittersweet to see the turn-around at SEM St!
Another chapter. Some kid will be thrilled to take the controls of a well loved cool car. xxoo
