My Toyota Celica turned 21 on Saturday. I picked it up on March 20, 1983 from Schaumburg Toyota in Schaumburg, IL. I celebrated this year by replacing the water pump on it. It still runs great but all those Wisconsin winters have taken a toll on the body.

My Celica is used mostly for commuting to work now (~5000 mi. per year) and has 140,800 miles on it. There are many cars I could have bought back then that wouldn't have lasted this long or that I would be sick of driving but I still like driving this one after all those years. It's been a great car for me.

Is anyone else the original owner of an old (20+ years) car? If so, how's it doing? Do you still drive it regularly?
