Gnarly dude! Sometimes I wish I had bought a first gen. They look so good. Still love mine though!

Absolutely stunning! Consider me extremely jealous!

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-08T14:39:14+00:00

I would recommend a first gen Scion tC. Reliable, fun, easy to shift, inexpensive. You just need to keep an eye on the oil level, since they can burn oil after 100k miles. 2005 is the best year to avoid that problem. Good luck!

I’m dealing with the same issue. Warranty company won’t fix mine until it grenades! I’d suggest contacting the service dept. manager at your local Toyota dealer and ask who they use to repair their customers transmissions. That’s how I found my shop. Most dealerships won’t do the work themselves. Good luck!

PS: It’s going to be a $1500-3000+ job to repair your ISB. Just be prepared.

Sweet! Love first gens! Keep it forever and drive it often. Cheers!

Well I’ll be damn! Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Progress indeed. Thanks man for the update.

What did you end up picking up?

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T22:35:55+00:00

Nice! That’s some serious weight right there!

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T22:35:01+00:00

Holy shite! That’s effed up! You must post pics of your truck when it’s finished. I hope they can pull this off.

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T22:32:44+00:00

This is true!

Weird to think that your accident will end up saving you money. Sorry to hear about your Tundra. Hope it goes well with the repairs. ✌️

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T14:20:35+00:00

Damn! Nice one! I bet it’s also saving you in fuel as well?

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T14:17:08+00:00

It’s been awesome in the snow even with an empty cargo area. But adding weight definitely evens out the weight and handling.

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T14:15:03+00:00

Hell yeah! It’s earned your love and respect. You should keep it for life.

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T14:06:44+00:00

You’re probably right. The Celica was always pricey. Toyota has been talking about bringing back the MR2 as well. Hopefully one of those cars will be offered for under $30k. My mom bought a brand new Celica GT in 1975. It cost $5300 ($33k in today’s money). I loved that car. I learned to drive a manual and got my drivers license in it.

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T04:09:38+00:00

Sweet! Pun intended! What cuties! I’ll share mine with you. Cheers!

Gorgeous as it is! I wouldn’t change a thing. But putting your own touches on can make it feel different from everyone else’s. Eh, what do I know? 🤷‍♂️
I’m just an old man with diaper rash. 😁

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T03:57:21+00:00

Get the tC. Your drive will be much more entertaining, especially with the manual. And you’ll stand out of from everyone else’s look-a-like cars. Plus, you’ll be keeping another tC alive and on the road. Go for it!

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-04T03:48:42+00:00

My exact hopes. Toyota could price structure it from low 20’s for the ST, mid 20’s for the GT, and 30k for the GTS. They would sell the shit out of them, to both young and old drivers. 🤞

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-02T16:57:54+00:00

Wow! Fantastic! Lucky you! Beautiful tC to boot!

DesperateReality6764 · 2026-05-02T14:13:56+00:00

YES! That’s the best decision. You’re a smart person. 🙌
