Some say mine is from a mistaken reading of what the term "Celica" means. And whether that symbol is a dragon or a swan. (It IS a dragon). But contrary to popular internet belief, my codename refers to this being the last "tuner car" I do. This Celica is car number 37 for me (since 16! I'm 31 now!) The way I see it, by the time this Celica is finished I'll be an old guy, ready to move on to a LS400, or something that doesn't take wrenching. Thus, my Celica is MY SWAN SONG!!!!!!
Since we’re revisiting ancient history, the Celica wasn’t his swan song. He traded it with a guy for a Miata.
the guy he traded with ruined the Celica, thinking he’s some sort of car god. I’ll have to swing by Ian’s and get some pics of the Miata the next time I’m up that way.
