Toyota Corolla, Celica, and Celica from the late '80s to the early 2000s!

Toyota Corolla, mid-1980s . This car belonged to the parents of someone who attended my kindergarten. It wasn't very new at the time, possibly due to the economic crisis in the country. In hindsight, I've found that this model was at least somewhat modern in design for its time. Interestingly, a Toyota Corolla of this type also recently appeared in the documentary film about Eirik Jensen and Gjermund Cappelen, now available on Netflix.

He drove a 1994 model that only had an airbag on the driver's side. It was surprising that he could afford such a car despite being a student.

'Cause if it doesn’t, well, that’d be a total disaster, at least that’s how I feel about it. Ford Sierra RS Cosworth 1986-1987 . These cars used to have a bit of a reputation for poor quality, at least the original versions of the Ford Sierra. But those RS500 Cosworth versions? They’ve always been some badass winged machines, like a little mini supercar for the streets, a true-blue rally car, or just a pr...
