164 and Camry



mr seedin has gone too far. obviously hasn't driven a camry lately. a friend of ours recently commented that the latest camry drives like she imagines a crown vic drives. i said toyota would be delighted to hear that as they have spent a bunch of time and money getting that down pat.

the 164 is no le mans special but it beats the heck outa any toyota i ever drove.

hyperbole has its place but really.....

btw, i'm driving a 2001 corvette at the moment while my saab aero gets a tranny transplant (long story, don't ask). holey cow batman this sucker really hauls ass, and round the bends too, and brakes to plant the forehed on the windshield. i like it. crummy seats tho. but, the auto unlock feature keeps the girlfriend locked in until you hit the unlok button. nice to see a car honest about its true purpose these days. no plain jane vanila here folks, just raw testosterone with 8 way adjustables and 360+ hp (its the tork that keeps ya coming back, unbelievable really in a streetable car)

maybe gm has the rite idea after all, who need sofistication when you can have yer balls pressed thru the hatchback if you don't hold on tite. just where to keep the cell fone tho?
