“the Century is acquired through persistent work, the kind that is done in a plain but formal suit.”~ per the brochure for the second gen models. But they do offer colors other than black, in fact they offer burgundy and navy metallics, and my personal choice Millennium Silver (1C0)  

Dude, I’m 40. Although I would prefer its’ predecessor with the only V12 (1GZ-FE) personally. I like classic styling and over-engineered cars and they are few and far between today. Toyota and Mercedes were the masters of the art of over-engineering until the 90's when they started to cost cut to compete. The perfect…

I agree.  These trucks look better in two tone than a solid color.  Mine is this combo, I just wish mine was this clean.  I did some royally half-assed patchwork on it to keep it legal this year.  Big holes on both bed sides and the front fenders behind the tires.  

My folks had the Tercel 4WD wagon when I was a kid.  Two tone light and dark blue with the 6 speed manual.  My aunt had a base model with an auto she drove from 86 until around 2002.  But I much pprefer the Camry V6 of that era.  Shame they didn’t make them with the 6 and AWD together instead of an either or…

I agree, although I like physical keys personally.  

They did it in the late 80's with the Corolla All-Trac Wagons.  They were JDM Sprinter-Carib’s (although the Sprinter was the platform mate of the Corolla back then it had different styling, much like the Camry/Lexus ES250/Vista/Camry Prominent)

That’s a pretty clean, well loaded either 89 or 90 LE V^ .  It even has the wheels.  I hava a white 88 LE V6 in immaculate condition with less than 90k on it only lacking leather, alloys, a sunroof, and the rare digital instrument panel.  

Dude, so wrong. 1990 Camry (introduced in Japan in 1986) is pretty near bulletproof. I have had mine since 1995 and it never broke down once until it had over 250,000 miles on it. That was when the factory installed ignition coil finally burned up. It has 276,000 miles on it now and hasn’t broken down again.  Love…

Sadly, this is one of the few perks of living here anymore. I’ve been contemplating leaving, but I really don’t want to drill holes in the bumpers of my 31 year old car that is nearly pristine.  Of course with the weather my part of the state has had the last few years, I’ve barely had the change to get it out of the…

I learned to drive on an 89 Toyota regular cab 4x4 with a manual transmission.  Only options it had was A/C and the chrome trim package.  I would love to have a truck like that, but for 1/3 of what they are going for, I ended up with my current truck, a 1995 F150 4x4 XLT with the power options, and an automatic.  I…

My folks brought me home in a green 77 GT fastback with a manual transmission, then traded it on a 79 Corona hatchback (also with a manual).  The baby seat was way too hard to get in and out of the Celica, unfortunately.  

If you live in the snow belt in a flatter place, snow tires on even RWD is probably more than adequate. If you live in a place that gets snow and ice that is mountainous, 4WD/AWD with snow tires is pretty much a necessity if you need to go anywhere. I had trouble in FWD cars with snow tires in West Virginia, but it is…

1990 Camry, 287,000 miles and only broke down once.  at around 250,000 miles the original ignition coil died.  new coil and has been fine since.  It turned over 120,000 miles on the way home from the dealer in 1995.  I decided years ago I want to see just how far it can go.  

What Toyota interior is that?  

My 88 V6 LE was originally my parents. the local dealer did a dealer trade to get it for him. They traded it in 93 and a retired lady bought it. I got a 90 DX at 16. In 2002, I got the opportunity to buy the 88 from the little old lady that had driven it 11,000 miles over the years she had it.  It still has less than…

I have two of these. A 1990 DX I got in 1995 as a 16 year old kid that currently has 276,000 miles and an 88 V6 LE that still has under 90k on it.  the 90 is showing it’s age, but has only left me stranded once.  The 88 in nearly mint.  

I would love to see Paula Jean beat both Manchin and whomever ends up with the republican nomination!

Manchin is slightly better than Blankenship. Many of us would love to see Paula Jean Swearnigen beat Manchin and take the seat. Unfortunately that is a long shot, so we will hopefully settle for Manchin, marginally the lesser of two evils.  

Some of us are trying. Believe it or not, there are liberals in WV. Unfortunately we are in the minority. I am 39 and have stayed because what family I have is here and most of them are over 60. I do not work in coal, nobody in my immediate family other than my maternal grandfather has worked in coal. Some of us are…

50K? Not quite. Maybe in some of the really rural areas, but Morgantown has some of the highest housing prices in the nation, considering the lack of jobs here.
