Would FT-86/FR-S be first RWD car for you? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My first was a MKII Celica-Supra. This will be my third. All the rest were FWD/AWD.

First RWD car, no. My poopra claims that title.
It will be my first RWD DD though. I'm not looking forward to driving it in the snow haha.

Haha nice. And it doubles as emergency food if you get stuck in a snow storm.

Oops. I should have said other too but I didn't think it through. My first and only vehicle was a Ranger XL. And they do still make them like they used too

.

I did slide it out on rainy days. And I commuted to college over iced over roads for two winters. Needless to say I got it stuck on numerous but minor off-road excursions. So long as it stayed on the road it usually did fine and was good on gas, 20mpg+ if I didn't tow anything or drive too fast. If there hadn't been so many things needing repair/replacement I would have kept it. I sold it at scrap prices to help buy a junkyard bound but POSH SUV for my mother.
