Hey Ray! You remember Florida?

I recall seeing the Florida signs but I don't remember where. Is it near N. Adams? Time to break that Tercel 4WD out of mothballs!

Florida is the town you pass through at the top of the 'mountain' (Do you remember the Summit Motor Lodge?) and then down the long hill to the 'hairpin'.

Um, the Tercel went to the crusher back in July. It was getting too rusty again.

That's the place!

Snow?..that's amazing, it hasn't been below about +8C (maybe 46F) or so here anytime this Fall. (PEI Canada)

I knew I saw the Florida sign somewhere...

I drove Route 2 many times, from Leominster to Greenfield to North Adams. The biggest reason I did Route 2 from Greenfield to N. Adams was the hairpin turn, especially if I was driving a RWD Celica GTS.

Now I remember!

Look for an All-Trac Camry. Lots of fun, great in the snow.

I have a Ply Grand Voyager AWD. It actually goes pretty good in the snow, even with summer tread tires.

I'd like another Tercel AWD, tho...

Other not-so-well-known used Toyota AWD/4WD choices... Corolla All-Trac wagon

I see these all the time. Easily distinguishable by the bulge in the roof and the different grille...

I tried to buy two of these things in the last 3 years, about $600 each. One was a 'conversion' van that had gone wrong and had leaky, but easily fixable windows, and the underside was SOLID (I think I was so surprised at how solid the undercarriage was that I actually talked the guy out of selling it...) and another one that was...er, another one...

Those are pretty good rides! You should snag one if the chance pops up.

They are pretty solid, check the bolt on the crankshaft pulley to make sure it is tight.
