Anybody ever told you that you look like a younger looking Kevin Smith? :giggle:

Is she going to get in trouble for you driving her company car and crashing it?

TorqueZombie 11-17-2011 10:31 PM

Glad your ok, coming from a fellow Camry hater.

Win. So how did you crash? My mom got rid of her forrester for one of those, and I was like why in the f did you downgrade. Those things are such shitty failboats. Glad to see another one off the road. Oh... and glad you are ok.

jacob300zx 11-18-2011 12:18 AM

Nope I'm listed as a driver, not my fault, was wearing sandals, and it has the worst shocks known to man.

buffon01 11-18-2011 01:15 AM

Not the way I imaged you Jacob (absolutely no homo)... just saying. Glad you're ok.

I have a feeling this won't end well work-wise for her.

Had a very smart colleague lose a job because he ran to the hospital where his wife was in company truck and had an accident. Wasn't supposed to be there, unapproved trip.

ScottFW 11-18-2011 10:48 AM

My wife has a company car, I'm allowed to drive it, we are allowed to use it for personal trips, and they pay for 100% of the fuel. If the personal use miles are over a certain % then we have to pay income tax on it as a personal benefit, but she drives enough miles for work that it's not an issue.

Her employer keeps some kind of a points system for vehicle accidents and if you accumulate too many, they don't fire you, but you lose the company car and then have to use your own vehicle if you want to keep your job. That's fine and all, but they also assess points for accidents that aren't your fault, like when her car got rear-ended at a stop light. I guess the points expire on a rolling basis so it's no big deal, but still bullshit in concept.

Awesome. My mom has a Camry. I want to kill it with fire. :vash:

jacob300zx 11-18-2011 03:10 PM

Just in case you missed it earlier in the thread. Camry's need to be lit on fire or crashed hard.

You don't have to wear shoes if your wearing a harness. It's in the Geneva Convention.

buffon01 11-18-2011 07:06 PM

Is not about the beard. BTW My first first car was a 94 manual Camry. It got stolen along with my cd of Jack Johnson :cry:

I'm not a huge Camry fan, but a Camry handles like a Williams F1 car compared to an Avalon. I am convinced that the tie rods and A-arms on those are made out of stiff rubber painted to resemble steel.

I'm not kidding. A Lincoln Town Car with air-ride suspension is a better handling car than a Toyota Avalon.

On the plus side, you couldn't have picked a better target vehicle to crash into.

miatauser884 11-18-2011 08:36 PM

I'll take my avalon limited any day over a camry.

You know Williams suck, right?

My mother has both an Avalon and a Camry of similar vintage.

The Avalon is extremely comfy for long trips, but it actually scares me to drive in town. I'd far rather own the Camry as a DD.

Ok, fine. Insert name of favorite F1 chassis-builder here.

jacob300zx 11-19-2011 11:36 AM

I've never drove the Avalon, but the camry handles worse than a 200k 4runner with blown shocks. How they could spec shocks that terrible, center display/radio that doesn't match the rest of the car, grey and tan interior, seatbelt beep warning that will make you want to punch the passenger, front fender with factory dents, etc. My wife works for a large rental car company and I drive almost everything on the road. The 3 worst driving cars Chevrolet Malibu, Toyota Camry, Chrysler Town and Country. The best driving cars Jeep Grand Cherokee, Kia Sportage, Mazda 2, Volkswagen Tiguan.

TheDriver 11-19-2011 12:21 PM

I wish I had a company car....oh wait, no I dont, because it would probably suck like this one lol.

Huh. I always felt the Camry to be pretty typical of a mid-size FWD car in terms of handling. If you hate it that much, then you'd probably think an Avalon handled like a Camry with a 200k 4runner with blown shocks strapped to its roof.

I had a '98 Cam-ray for a while before the Miata, and it was like driving a refrigerator box. The only reason I got it was the $900 price tag. Some fuckstick tried to steal the Alpine radio out of it and jacked up the dash, and my buddy didn't want to get it fixed - he was about to trade it in for a Lexus ES (he doesn't like to drive). I put the factory radio back in it, glued the dash back together with JB Weld, found $11 in change scattered in it, drove it for a year, blew up the transmission, and got $2300 when I sold it as a fixer-upper to some landscaper dude. I never even changed the oil.

Win.

Is it wrong for me to want an OBD-I M/T camry with the 5SFE just to turbo it? I mean have you seen the engine bays in those cars. There's this humongous sphere of space just asking, no, begging for a turbo. Stoopid easy turbo install...

But it's still a camry...
