3rd & 4th Generation (1992–1996 & 1997–2001)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 1992-1996 & 1997-2001
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
The other day i was driving home and something out of the corner of my eye distracted me for a second, just long enough for me to roll into a rotory. I avoided clipping the rotory island but instead clipped the far curb outside the rotory. I think i messed up something, my car kind of...hiccups (basically there seems to be a hitch in the steering when the wheels are turned to the left). It doesn't happen everytime though. I swear the bad shit follows this car around like a dark cloud. This time was my fault (and i'm pissed), but shit, just in the last nine months i've had:
A deer commit suicide on my front end
a battery fail with no prior warning
a moving company damage the car
my now ex GF backed my car into the bushes and broke my antenna
some asshole scraped their bumper across the side of my car in a parking lot (even though i go WAY out of my way to not park near anyone)
A Rim crack
i nearly got hit by a fuel tanker because some asshole cut it off and it swerved to avoid him and instead ran me off the road.
i nearly got hit by a guy who was too busy text messaging on his cell phone instead of watching the road
Just this morning some old bitch ran me off the road (accelerated up from way behind me, rode the lines between the two lanes to get next to me, and then merged back into my lane and directly at my car, forcing me to pull onto the shoulder, i just let the lunatic pass)
I swear to god as if the strong association this car has with me and my ex's relationship isn't enough (and it is, i sometimes consider pushing the car into a river) I have to deal with random bad shit all the time. I almost want to just sell the fucking thing and buy an S2000.
Hell if someone offers me a good price i'll sell it with the CT26, the 5spd parts, the 5spd tranny...Everything i have basically.

damn dude sorry to hear that, we all have our times, I too once had the idea of letting the car go, esp after my insurance company told me that my car was totalled in my accident back in september that also turned into a robbery of over $1,000 of personal items including my e-manage, , of last year. Things have been slow but its all coming together, slowly but surly bro. Its funny how everybody is talking about the CPT meet already, like most of you I'm also getting my car ready for the show, its not gonna be as nice has Trinhinds (sorry if I spell your name right) car but it'll look pretty nice for all its been through
damn it! stop F**king up that car!!! i wanna see it finished and sexytime. sorry to hear ur having problems man. but hey, at least ya have a coupe taht will be turbo and not ANOTHER S2k.
2004 and up S2K has 163lb Ft and the big number is its 240HP. Plus with six forward gears and a relatively light 2800lb curb weight the car moves.
I'm going to look at a Black S2K i found today. Either way i plan to keep the Camry, but it might have a sexier stablemate here soon. I'm pissed that i might need to buy a new car, but i'm sick of being FORCED to sink money into the cam because the car is the epitomy of murphy's law.
