Have you or Would you ever own 2 of the same gen???

After having driven another Gen 4 recently, I kinda' wondered if I'd like another.......('cuz I like mine)........

Would I favor one over the other???

Is the "variety is the spice of life" idea more prominent??



I, personally, have only owned a Gen 4. I've driven Gen 5 and Gen 6, but don't wake up to those every morning.


???

I know you're talking about newer gens than mine, but I own three 2nd gen Camrys. Once you get to know every nut and bolt, why change until you have to? Then again, unlike most of you I am a poor student who can't afford the "variety is the spice of life" luxury...

I would definitely want to own two Gen 3 Camry's.

One slightly modded and S/Ced for street, one full blown turbo one for track. Imagine, a very nice street prepared Camry, with a full blown race Camry on a trailer in the back. Boy would that look cool.

I own a 2001 solara and a 2002 camry if that counts in your book. I would have got a solara too (she got hers first) but she wasnt having two of the same kind of car in the house. "that would be ridiculous!" were the words, so i just got a Camry V6 and happy with both of these cars.

There is a house nearby that has 5 Volvos. A XC 90 SUV, XC 70 cross country, 2 S70's, and a S40..... Those must love those things.

We owned two '92's until one got taken out by a semi (at 156K miles). It was replaced with a used '93 which was also lost to a semi. (have I mentioned I hate semi's?) So now have a Gen 3 and a Gen 4.5.

Knowing how slow the 4 cyl. is, I would get the same gen in a V6. Maybe even a gen5. My neighbors have two 4 cyl. gen4.5's which they seem to be happy with.

Well considering I already own a boosting GEN2, I definitely plan to build a pretty much all out GEN2 in the future. Only it'll be an all motor setup with a 3SGE head/5SFE block. Completely gutted, roll cage, custom suspension, light weight metallic gold panasport C8 wheels, I'm thinking of painting it a dark metallic pink or a very light metallic red, possibly even a darker red/maroon. Well just picture the way that people modify AE86's when they go all out. That's what I want to do to a GEN2 except for the funny looking wide body kits. I figure it'll cost me about 20-25K to do it the way I want.

I have 2 Coupes, a 94 and a 96! Because I love the Gen, esp coupes! I'd buy another, but the wife would divorce me!

My wife and I are proud owners of twin Gen4s, an I4 and a V6.

Guess which one's the V6?

(hint: it's mine)
