After 8 months and $700, the Camry is finally back. I'm soooooooo excited. Today I finally installed the fog lights properly, removed the shitty chrome trims, re-wired the whole sound system, installed the sound system and washed the car. Tomorrow I'm finishing the grille I started 8 months ago, removing the 35% tint it has and tint it 20% in the front doors and 5% in the rear doors and making the copy of the switchblade key.

You can probably tell I'm excited.

If I don't drive my car for a day I'm pissed as hell.

The first few weeks I was desperate, but since my mom gave me her 2000 4Runner I wasn't so bummed. When I drove it today, it was sweet.

^^Oh ok I could understand that. When my car goes down I don't really have a car to drive due to the fact that my dad uses the Trooper and without a car I'm basically stuck at home and that drives me crazy.

Well, it wasn't at the shop for the whole 8 months. It broke down in June, and since we didn't have the money and stuff it stayed in front of our house until December. In December I took it to the shop, and it came out yesterday.

what all happend if you dont mind my asking? im sorry but im kinda a newbie to this forum

The car didn't have any oil, apparently it was leaking but I never saw it, or smelled it...it was weird. Anyways, I didn't use the car for a week because it didn't have any oil and I was already aware of it. One day, I went out of town to get some papers that I needed for my college application and my brother called me that he had used the car. As sson as I got home I poured some oil in it, but when I turned the car on it was too late. It pretty much blew/broke/bent everything it could in the engine.
