1999 Toyota Camry

My SO bought his Camry in the early 00s and drove that thing until 2 years ago. And it was in great shape.

There is no angle of the 2003 Toyota Camry where you can't see the muffler hanging below the bodywork. They made the belt line too high, and gave the car a weird rake. Then hung the muffler really low to give it more foot and trunk space.

I know it was a reliable vehicle, but it looked so cheap even compared to the lame domestic cars at the time like the Intrepid, Grand Prix, or Taurus. Toyota figured out how to hide it in later years, but I always hated whatever body style they had in 2002-2005.

I hope you folks realize that this is how the clickbait bots figure out your passwords.

Remember that security question that asked "what year did you graduate high school?"

I liked the old square body trucks from that year though.

The first car purchase I made as an adult was a 1992 Honda Accord. I loved that car. Got it to 287,000 miles before getting rid of it.



Those looked good. I like the Acura versions at the time too. I think it was called the Legend?

They changed it later to TLX or some alpha-numeric garbage. Legend was such a cool car and a cool name. It was a Honda Accord with a stretched wheelbase and the company's awesome VTEC V6 engine with the variable intake cam design borrowed from Honda's Indy cars.





Honda has since lost their way, but they are still way better than Nissan. Mazda is the impressive Japanese car now. Love the new styling they have, and I can't wait to see the new rear drive, I-6 Mazda6.

Chevy Cavalier was best selling car.

But that is misleading. Ford sold more F-150's than chevy sold Cavaliers.

Ford and Chevy have never made better trucks than their mid 1990s models.

If we want to get really technical, GM sold more trucks than Ford most years.

My guess was the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, but I was wrong.

1980 - Olds Cutlass, One of the ugliest cars not named Gremlin or Pacer.

I guessed correctly based on the new cars I remembered in the parking lot during my senior year.

Cutlass Supreme. I'd drive one today if I could get a cherry one.

That '83 Cutlass Surpreme was a good looking car for the time. For us old farts, it still is.
