And the Blue car era ends...

So yeah - the giant partout of my car is near, basically starting tomorrow parts will be coming off in grand fashion. It was an interesting run with the camry - but an annoying one for a large chunk of the time. The new headgasket and studs did not solve my high pressure cooling system woes - car would probably need a new engine + a whole new paintjob + some TLC here and there to get it where I would like it, and I am just not commited to dropping that much more cash into the machine. I just haven't had a personal fun car to drive in quite a while - and this car has never been right, so I want tol move on. (Have no fear - I have a new project in mind which will be much cleaner and much crazier then cam - we will see what happens though)

Anyways, that said, the other day I walked out to the car where it has been shuffling around the speed-source lot for the past few months - not really driving - not really moving and decided to post some final pictures of the condition. Car is dirty - I can't take it anywhere to give it a bath haha - so enjoy while it last - soon the blue car will be no more...

Don't worry guys - it is not so sad, just time to move on

Plus - the parts will be spread around to all different cars, so most of the styles will stay alive

Sad to see it end the way it did, but like you said it's time to move on. I think I would too, with all the problems you have been having.
