Re: '77 Celica GT, Speed Academy, and my first old school To

Oh, I thought skeptic meant the chrome trim down the door and rear quarter to prevent door dings, not the graphics. Man, I'm such a 1g Celica newb. I did some reading last night so have a bit of a clue about slant nose vs flat nose now (mine's a flat nose, so the slant nose smileys won't fit, as you...
