Your celica sounds like fun, any pics?
Actually, the Celica is a FWD car. Amazingly, I don't have any pictures of the outside of the car. It was a very fun car, and handled like a dream. But after 168,000 miles, I felt the need to get a different car for the miles I commute. I'm sure some kid will be happy with all the custom mods I did to that thing.

I'm looking online for snow tires right now. Any suggestion on size, brand, and rim size? I drive over 145 miles each day, so the tires would need to perform well on side roads, as well and dry highways during the summer months. The set I was using are Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice tires. I LOVE those tires! And after 5 seasons, based on the tread, I could easily have gotten another 5 seasons from them. Too bad they won't fit.

Only after 1993. In 1986-92 it was availible with AWD, and from 1971-85 (where it's at <3) it was RWD only. :)
