My guess is it will appeal to the weekend warriors that need a dual purpose vehicle for kid hauling, vacationing and household chores. While I am dubious of the claims that it won’t be for “real work” I think there are more than enough people, myself included, that want to be part of the BEV movement and give up their…

I think they may be less common in trucks. My 2008 Tundra also doesn’t have auto headlights. I have the original lamps adjusted properly and I still get people brighting me because they think my brights are on. Usually when I am cresting a hill or they are and get struck from the down angle.

OMG I am embarrassed by how accurately you described me. Sub LaCrosse for soccer and I’m a dead ringer. And yes, I drive a Tundra because it seats 6 because I drive a carpool that requires it and I don’t own two cars. I do get gravel on the weekend or buy full sheets of plywood for my woodshop.

This is the correct take. None of these guys ever factors in opportunity cost. By paying a super small fee I keep my money to be used more effectively elsewhere. My last loan (paid off) was 1.9% on $25k. I make more than that in a simple CD.

I think the question is why do I need the screen? Maybe I want a better stereo? My kingdom for a double din in a new car! Cosmetically they all look like a wart growing out of the dash.

This was my last car, spec’ed identically, except mine was the manual 5 speed. While it wasn’t going to win any races, the manual made for a far more engaged driver’s experience and would chirp the tires shifting into 2nd gear. Apart from the transmission, which was not upgraded from the 4 cylinder model, it was a…

I had a 2000 Camry LE (LE was the middle trim, CE was low end and XLE the high) v6, 5 speed manual and it was awesome. It would spin the tires going into 2nd gear. I bought it in 2001 for a song because it sat on the dealer lot for a year. No one wanted the higher trim in a manual. Their loss.

Klootzak, my Opa’s favorite word. I firmly believe 100% of all drivers on the road have been called a klootzak him at one time or another. BTW, translates to “scrotum” or more literally “ball sack.” The dutch have great swears.

Kitsap County is the meth capital of Washington state. Decidedly NOT Seattle.

That grill looks like someone that just got braces. I’d take the Lexus spindle over this. Hard pass.

I owned this model year (in black) until last year when I sold it, minus the supercharger for $3k. It was very clean, no major repairs. I bought it new in 2001, had sat on the lot for nearly a year since no one in that market segment was interested in a v6 manual camry. When it was new it produced nearly 200HP and…
