How about "ur a fag"?
You asshole! How can you not put an upper case "J" for Jesus when its a name and the first word in a sentence. WTF!?
PS. The Import scene in the 90's was the same as it is now, everyone hating on each other. HAHAAH you have a eco import! HAAHAHAA you have a Gas guzzling v8..
Who cares about import/domestic, most car companys build and design in other countrys anyway, and buy and sell designs to each other. Now adays almost every car company has a full line of cars from slow suvs to fast roadcars.
So those days of "Imports being rice buckets of slowness" and domestic's being "fast but too heavy" are long gone.
When are people going to learn, its not about the car...

The import scene up north was plenty, and I was old enough to know what an import was and what a domestic was in the late 90's. Wish I could of driven

Late 80's I started hanging out with my buddy and his dad at Gandy where they races their t/a. No "jap" imports. Closest was a Porsche or two that would get butt hurt. Those were the good old days when you could not have to worry about any problems with the cops.

I lived in NY and to be honest I cant remember anything goin on import wise, still the classic 60's and 70's muscle cars and what not. The coolest car I knew about then was my uncles Buick Grand National. I cant remember ever thinking about an import lol. My family did have a 280Z and then a Honda Accord way back, I remember those.

tony, there is an exact replica of your celica for sale near me out here, but it has a cowl hood. I inquired about it since the body was otherwise in great shape (similar/same red wine color too)...it has a big ass v8 in it 
and they wanted too much.
and they wanted too much.

There was an import scene here in the late 90's There really wasn't such a thing as a ricer, well not technically. APC lights or what ever they were started the ricer trend in the late, late 90's.
There were import only shops that turned out "fast" cars for the day. Spec-r, DP tuning and Eurotech all built fast cars that went to the street races at meridian, seabreeze, causeway and the bread factory.
Let's try and keep this on topic and civil.

I lived up north in the 90's, BFE Indiana, then Cincinnati, OH in the late 90's. Everyone there was doing lowriders with hydros; Cadi's, trucks, etc. The only imports I remember from the group I hung out with were a 4 door Maxima with 14k gold rotors who appeared in a few Vogue tire ads and a Paseo, both with 16 switches Myself.....I was rockin a Nissan Pulsar skateboarded on 13's
