If life gives you BeaterLemons...

Make BeaterLemonade!

I took these with Fuji Superia ISO 100 35mm film, though in rebranded President's Choice (local Supermarket) packaging.










I keep saying I'll get rid of it first chance I get, but I still want to run it to the ground before I do. I have a hankering for another 3800 Bonneville... with a Cressida as a weekend/project.

I guess different strokes for different folks, I don't like keeping a car past 10 years/100k, to me it served its purpose and I want a change, I also would be a bit embarrassed to drive around a beater car, I'm not the type that would drive a Lexus if I couldn't afford it nor the type that would drive an Echo if I could afford better. What's the appeal to you about it? Just curious.

• I don't give a shit about the car
• Therefore, I can park it anywhere, even the most ghetto parts of town and not even lock my doors half the time
• It cost $500 to purchase, and $250 in repairs, IF that.
• It gets 35mpg city
• It handles like a go-kart
• It will still cruise 130km/h comfortably
• I don't need bling (I'm into stock Cressidas, for fuck's sakes)
• This car is 16 years old and has 166,000 miles and shows no signs of stopping
• I'm a poor student

Embarassed to drive around in a beater car? You sounds like my 14 y/o daughter.

My wife and I used to have two brand new Tiburons...then we had a new Tiburon and a '05 Outback XT. Now we have a nice home and more time together and two older Toyotas. Maybe it's because of the other things that I can take pride in my Toyotas. Maybe it's because I have respect for any piece of machinery that can survive what the Celica did or be as loved as the Camry was in their previous homes so I'm happy to maintain them and treat them nicely in their later life.

Many would call a Gen 3 Camry a "beater" and would be embarassed to drive one. I guess it just depends on how low you've had to go...
