I thought you were only 17...which would mean you haven't even completed your first two years of driving. And you've been on this site for a year now, which means you've probably had that truck for a year. Not to mention the PSD you've talked about before. The celica is your mom's car right?
but good call on posting the pics as proof this time

Im 18 in 4 days... or so.

I had special license since I live on a farm, just drive when ever I want.

Celica was mine before the truck and was my Mom's before mine. Then my mom bought the PSD and took back the Celica and gave it to my brother who just totaled his H22 Prelude.

2.5/5 in wet weather only.

However it is your truck you are driving it and if you want Dune Grapplers go for it, but you yourself gave them a 2.5/5.
I believe Trimble was tring to call them un-safe... but thats just me.

Fl00dFlipper would be a suitable name, the combo of hydroplaning tires and your knack for sinking your truck in the lake is going to make for some really good stories I'm thinking.

Both of you are wrong you idigants. No Celicas came from the factory with boost. Not 03-not 04 NONE. You can put supercharger from TRD on them.

So no wrong. Both of you smart-asses.

Get your facts straight before you go and make a rude comment, because you are wrong.

Many of the fourth gens came turbo-charged to accompany the all wheel drive, or more widely known Alltrac.

Edit: And that wasn't the only generation with forced induction mind you, just an example. The 03 and 04's were offered with a supercharger, and yes it was from TRD, but you could have it put on when you ordered it.

You can buy a Coralla and do that though. I dont think you get the point. I mean it wasn't an option. You have to get the "modified" options which are with only certain dealers, and they do the work. Thats why we had to travel 6 hours to pick up the car the day we bought it.

The shop will sipe my tires for 2.50$ each tire.

If DOT doesn't allow un-safe tires to sell, then why are these for sale?
arent you like 12?

It was an option for quite a few years of the 4th gens, the all-trac models came with a turbo, it was a package, not a "special" option offered by a select few dealers.

...and I think you should apologize to b2therad, i was the one that made fun of you for not listening to people and getting stuck, not him, he asked a question in a friendly manner, he wasn't trying to be a smart-@$$.

But back on topic, did you get a set of tires yet?
