also, way back in the day, my sister had a '77 celica GT coupe with a 5-speed.  neat little car.  i T-boned a red-light runner and totalled it returning from a date in 1985.  i had the car for a couple days, cleaning it up to sell it for her.  :-(   insurance payout was more than her asking price.  :-)
