A Red 1991 celica convertable was brought to our wrecking yard today...it looks as if it was t-boned at 50mph...the whole passenger side is wiped out...the door passender door was folded and crushed to the driver seat....it had a 2200 DOHC motor...i think its ok...cant be certain.

i own a corolla, but that was once a nice car
