Back in HS my buddy got a (brand new) 1985 Celica GTS Liftback/Hatchback with a 5 speed, all black with leather, etc. That was probably one of the most beautiful and cool cars from my HS days.

Moron wrapped it around a brick mailbox, and his dad was so pissed he replaced it with a Ford Escort GT. Not quite the same.

I do recall him trying to race different types of cars off the red lights back in South MS on Saturday nights, and recall that he always begged off of trying to race any Supra that happened into the opposite lane. He had a healthy respect for Supras.

Here I am with mine and a couple of buddies on a trip from Dallas to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break:

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

That brings back some memories... My first car was a mid-1980s red Celica GT (not a Supra, though).

Me too, but mine was silver. It had some decal stripes on the side. I think mine was an '86, but I don't remember any more. I loved the pop up headlights.
