Hey - one of our members made some posts to that video - wonder who?
" terceldude: If you sell the car at all, I am interested in buying it and having it shipped to Massachusetts in the USA! ;) hehehehehehe 6 days ago "
" terceldude: I remember this Tercel! ;) Why not blast German rap in it as opposed to Spanish rap? hehe =) 8 months ago
"

Offhand - I'd guess the reason for the owner's preferred genre is because he is a Hispanophone...
Although - is this Spanish rap or rap in Spanish?
I am partial to the seminal Massachusetts prep school group AlbinoBoyzInDaHood,* so cannot offer a critique...

Sounds ALMOST as good as my wagon with my new Chinese made tube-type subwoofer with calligraphic patterns. Mrs. Bucket.

nice paint job, I like the steering wheel too. But the seats I think are more for show, and I can do without that silly sound system. it takes up too much room, too much power, it will be lost on all the other noises, and it makes the car a target for thieves (who will do a lot of damage to the car just to get the speakers). No thanks. He should have spent the money on a better engine. I wonder what drives that thing.

petros, you are the consummate logician. but i admit that i thought of the same down sides as you; likely to be broken into, ugly doors w/ too many speakers, far too loud for any practical application... i think the paint job is astounding though, and i love the interior! whoever owns the vehicle obviously put a lot of time and money into it and has an eye for detail, which is rad.

i just think it's too funny that this guy spent sooo much money on an old Tercel. Not that they aren't totally worth it but this one is so over the top. I would love to have this sound system. :lol: Now if it only was a 4x4 with a turbo diesel engine... :P

It's a little over the top with the sound system I agree, But I like a good sound system, But I'm young and stupid still. When I painted my car yellow I did'nt paint the bumpers or mud flaps, I did'nt think paint would stick to them properly. But he looks like he got away with it properly??? Has anyone else painted the rubber on the bumpers????
