On The Death of the Toyota Celica

(sent to someone re: my Toyota Celica in the late 1990s)
 
... dude, I had one back in the day when they were REAL. Those lovely circular eyes, the broad sloping hood. Red,  four on the floor. That cute behind. Everytime she looked at you in the morning with those pretty front lamps it was like peering into the eyes of a woman that only dreams are made of.  

Then, sometime in the late 90s or so, they redesigned it. It came out triangular and looking like a bad matchbox in one of those godzilla flicks.

That was the day the music died.

I mean, whoever did that -- whatever "engineer" made that change -- that has to go down in history as one of the dumbest things humanity ever did. (See Bush). Gone forever was my perfectly engineered girl.  

-- P.S. I never had the income for jags or mercedes, so she'll always be "the one." Best around 20ish vehicle I ever had. Now I'm driving a Saturn Ion for crying out loud! (Most marriages are of convenience).
