The car now has 60k miles on it and we've replaced all of the bushings in the front suspension, every oil seal on the motor, the nav screen was done under warranty, the…

The Maxima SE is a much better choice than the Camry. They came in better colors, had bullet proof 6-cylinder motors, and were much easier to find with a manual transmission. Also 4DSC.

This is why I am against lifted trucks. Tons of them running around the LA area, and there is no reason for that to be road legal. Anything that alters the mandated bumper heights should be for off road use only.
