Off-road '84 Toyota Celica GT is more fun than your car | Why I Drive #3

Close your eyes and imagine a tough off-roader. Maybe you’re thinking of a Wrangler or a Defender, but there’s almost no chance a 1984 Toyota Celica GT comes to mind. That didn’t stop Jon Rood from transforming his ‘84 Celica GT into a dirt-throwing, fish-tailing adventure machine that looks right at home in the wilds of the Arizona desert. In this episode of Why I Drive, we follow Jon down a road truly less traveled. Because, like he says, “Any day in the dirt is a good day.”

If there’s one simple truth, it’s this: Days you drive that special car are better than days you don’t. Maybe it’s not the fastest, cleanest, or even most reliable car. But it’s yours. And every time you turn the key and hear that engine roar to life, something fantastic happens. Whether it’s hot laps around the local track or a slow Sunday cruise with the family to load up on ice cream, your car is the place you make memories. This is “Why I Drive.”
