That is true, it can reach highway speeds, eventually. IIRC, 0 to 60 is dealt with in about 14 sec which is not too bad for a 0.9 liter engine, but I would worry about merging and over take at 70 MPH highways.

As happy and fun-loving as it looks, I suspect this would be sadly out of place if imported in US.

One under the chin and the other behind his neck - get your mind out of the gutter.

Well written! You conveyed a lot of technical stuff in an easy to read manner - I appreciate that.

Just adding to the German wagon porn without adding anything to the conversation.

<facepalm>

Looks like I hurt your feelings. My apologies - it was unintentional.

Of course your 2001 camry is the pinnacle of everything automotive! I wonder what your thoughts are about an Avalon of the same vintage?

An Asian friend of mine got his Toyota in 2012 for zero per cent APR, should he check too?

Looks like you need to buy better quality stuff :)

There has to be a happy medium. I want controls that provide me with tactile feedback so i don’t have to look at them to operate. So if they use an electronic doodah to provide the feedback, I have no issue with it.

Biff my dear fellow, I was having just a little bit of fun. Despite my own old BMWs regularly helping themselves with my money, I love them and never find myself yearning for the companionship of a mundane Camry.

I chuckled at this coincidence, even though I know that it doesn’t prove anything.

So are you saying that other people who work at F1 are uncomfortable with grid girls?

Why was I expecting, nay waiting, for this?

Had to - all three of our kids were over due before they had to be coaxed out. I have had my fair share of cuckoo tales and bat shit crazy ideas. But as you probably know too well - sex is the last thing you can convince a full term pregnant woman of.

haven’t talked to her since the E38 era

Whaa! That birthmom sounds very gullible!

A lot of the stuff you mentioned should not be an issue with a car that only had water levels up to the bottom of the chassis. So it can be used to demonstrate that all “flooded” cars are not unsafe.

Sponsors like IAA and that other dude that sells salvage titled cars, would like to prove to you that you can buy a previously flooded car and with very few fixes can make it your daily.
