have many people on here found that theyve sold their gt/glanza, moved on to other cars then gone back and either felt the same love again or hatred? as i sold my white gt a few months ago for a shitvic and then a bmw, missed it and now have a silver quadlight and love it more than ever :D no other cars like them for the money to smile factor hehe :p

Im 41 and my neighbours hate me cos my starlet will only flow 1.5 bar through a very loud exhaust. Reckon that's commitment to the cause when i should be in an audi or similar

I've had mine since 2006 and doubt I will ever sell it even though I now have two Celica GT4's.

Doing the cambelt and water pump on the old girl this week to and may well put it back on the road for the winter.

well true, starlets give you loads of smiles... especially thinking of old jdm starlets like the infini ep82.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSIf0IwdiK0 ...... and one thinks you are re-creating that effect today as you drive yours :)
to the above... yes starlets are !!

Fresh Recruit
I'm on my first Glanza, and I've always dreamed of owning one since I was 14, I'm now 18 and have had a polo, Toledo and then bought my Glanza in July! Never get that feeling when you wake up in the morning and go check if it's still there haha, it was like a dream! I hope to never swerve away from the starlet scene but I've always fancied an evo when I get a bit older! never know :)

starlets addictive? hell yes!
owned my starlet GTT for almost 9 years now. and even after several engine fails, turbo fails and everything else that went wrong i still can't bear the thought of having to sell her or break her. i just keep fixing her up :)

so i guess i'm a starletter for life :) have bought another NA starlet as daily driver. somehow these lil buggers are fun to drive compared to loads of other cars i've driven.
