DATABASE "Back in the Day" (Mar '03)
IMPRESSION The Celica was supposed to be the completion of my high school dream car. Way too much HP in a little car makes for interesting drag races. Unfortunately, now that it's done, if I cruised the high schools everyone would say "Damn, who brought their Dad!"

DATABASE car is too ugly to be featured!
IMPRESSION It's a Forester! That's what I hear all the time. WRX guys love it for some reason. I don't know how many times guys in WRXs have given me the thumbs up! Elliott can be a witness to that. One day some STI tried to outrun me around the corner and I think he was a bit shocked when the family wagon was on his ass all the way around the corner! I drive it because I always wanted to be Crocodile Dundee in the Outback! Then again maybe I drive it because Subaru used to market it to those who live "alterative lifestyles" like Jonathan does.
