Well...

Well guys my car is starting to show it's age, FINALLY. I'm at 101000 miles and my cat converter is starting to go. I was comin home yesterday and my engine light popped on. Took it to the shop, and my cat's dying. It's gonna cost 600$ to get it replaced and installed. So we decided not to get it done. When it gets around the time to get my emissions done again, the decision will either be made to get it fixed, or get a new car. My folks and I are actually heading up to Akira's toyota dealer to look at a camry cuz my pop's buick has bit the big one. Needs a new engine which will be 2,000 just for the engine. The car has aged so poorly that we see no point to put that much money into that POS. He wants a I4. When my car goes, i'm goin for V6.

I'm waiting for the 3rd thing to happen, following the saying that things happen in three's

lol wth is that ^

looks like this guy posts about 12 posts per year.. 1 post a month.. and hes taking dibs..

i take second dibs since this guy will probably come around once every month..

back on topic..
100K for a camry is nothing(this is what i was told when i hit 100k on my old 93)..
a bad cat is just an excuse to custom make a full exhaust!

I agree that 100K is nothing for a camry...as long as its driven like a camry. I drive my car more like its a lemans racer.

It's at 101K+ and considering the way I drive, it will slowly begin to have more problems. We are probably gonna figure that instead of putting 600 into a banged up aged car, we can use it, for a NEW ONE!!!!

Why you guys want my grille so bad anyway? It's just the RS ebay grille, with the plastic mesh replaced with nice stainless and repainted. It's nothin too fancy.Although I do have a TRD strut bar(the red one) that if the car goes, i'll have to sell.
