for all the people who own the less ballzy st version of the celica, i would like to point out its overwhelming reliability. today at 5 in the morning i arrived back at my house in nh after a straight 15 hour drive 935 miles, which i had just accomplished on the trip down there only a week ago... my car now has 190,000 miles and still burn almost no oil. i used 28 gallons of gas of 85 oct. thats about 33.3 mpg. only mod is a accord cai. as my friend put it "reliably of a honda, style of a lexus" i love my little car.

Halifax to Quebec City 1250miles / 2000kms round trip with the wife and kids (they were much smaller at the time) in summer '05. put another 300miles / 500kms sightseeing. no issues except for leaving the lights on at Les Galeries de la Capitale. some nice 'citoyen' gave me a boost. he said he saw the car from the road and wanted to check it out. by the time he reached us i had the hood open and a puzzled look on my face.

Longest one ive taken was from Windsor to Toronto (400ish km),then from Toronto to DWG (like 11 hours of driving in total..donno how far distance was), but it was a good haul though. Only downside was gettin stuck in a traffic jam just inside PA on the interstate for like 3 hours in 35 degree weather cuz a flatbed losts its load going around a corner, and having to do the trip sittin in my sparcos.

haven't really went too far in the ST205 other than bringing the car back from England to Ireland. The Carlos Sainz went to WRC Germany and the Nurburgring from Ireland in 2007.

Corryton, TN to Key West, FL

1049 miles ~20 hours STRAIGHT only stopping for gas and food!!

I'm 6'5" ~300lbs good lord was I glad to get out of that car, the only thing happier than I was may have been the Celica!! laugh.gif

It was a long trip with a 90mph in a 45mph ticket near Tallahassee (real long story there got off with a 50mph in a 45mph zone instead)

Done a couple of long ones. NJ to Savannah to see you know who, then back a few months later. Last long haul in the car was NJ to St. Louis when we moved. That was a 893 mile one shot trip that took about 15 hours because there were two cars moving.
