Ok yea it's a 1990 Camry LE Sedan 4cyl, you all know how it goes. So i got the car in November of '05 with about 145,000 miles and some rust when i was 16 and only had a learner's permit. There wasn't a single aspect of the car that wasn't stock. I was given the choice of the rusty camry with high miles or a '96 Geo Metro in perfect condition with 40,000 miles. I don't regret my decision. So let me know what you all think i've never had feedback from other camry people!!

Since then the car has been through a decent amount. After about 3 weeks of staring at the rust it went out to the body shop. While i was there I had new wheels put on also and threw on the front Toyota plate right when i got it back.. The wheels are 14" Eagle Alloys.

At somepoint i removed the TOYOTA badge from the grill, and upgraded sound also, speakers all around, head unit, and a couple extras

.

All this had the Tatmobile, as I call it, looking like this:

Next along came the blue fog lights. They are suprisingly bright at night, as ricey as they look, but I have a feeling that they'll be getting removed this summer. The Fogs are my last "mod" so since about a year and a half ago this is how it all looks:
(sorry for whoring out my car but is prob. the only place where people give a shit, i hope)

and a couple rolling shots

also, just under a year ago i was in a fender bender with a cr-v...replaced fender and corner lights myself on the day of my senior prom..

oh yea, photshop a friend did..lowered, tint, black grill, cleared corners and white fogs, and colored teh wheels.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Your Camry looks great! It totally takes me back to my 1988 Camry, Old Blue. I had it for 8 years and traded it away for a 1993 Camry about 2 years ago. Old Blue didn't have air conditioning. It was my 9th year in Los Angeles and I really needed AC. Plus, I had no power doors or locks, or airbags. The '93 is great. It has a lot of little amenities that the '88 lacked. Like AC, power doors, power locks, kill switch and air bags. I installed a CD player, speakers and key less entry. The rear center panel was cracked. I found one on ebay for $5 and it was mine. So now I have this '93 Camry, with all these bells and whistles. . . . . and I miss my '88. It had 195,000 miles on it. I drove it from Los Angeles to Colorado Springs TWICE and was never let down. That car was so reliable, unlike so many things today. Girls usually don't get attached to cars. But I just loved that car. Old Blue was so comfortable, and easy to fix, so simple. Don't apologize about "whoring out your car". You take very good care of it, and you should be proud of that. You created a great memory for yourself, fixing it the day of your prom! Old Blue was so good to me, I am still missing that car 2 years later! (sniff) Good luck sweetie!
