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!

You probably went through Florida if you've driven along route 2. It's not
far from Williams College.  Speaking of North Adams, there's a hairpin turn
along route 2  that will  make you slow down (if you know what's good for
you) as you go down the hill.

That's the place!

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.

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.

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...

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

> 1st generation Van 4X4

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.

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