2003 Camry, base model.
Pro's:
Decent sound system.
Comfy inside.
Spacious.
Headlights turn off when you close the door.
Spins doubles in the rain :)
Blue parker lights(looks pretty cool, and doesnt seem to get much cop attention)
Cheap on fuel. Helpful since I live in Armadale and I work in Melville.
Custom plates.
Rips a decent skid(witnessed by Matt, Adrian and Brendan)
Cons:
4 cylinder. Gutless.
Bent camber(non adjustable) on front drivers side. Car pulls to the right.
Factory alloys(NOT FUCKING HUBCAPS CARNT) sprayed gold, as a joke. Looked decent at first, but now it's all scratched and shit.
Half a sump guard from when dad drove it up a kerb. Held on with cable ties.
People call you a fag for driving it, cause it's a camry.
Ok, so...yeah. My only car atm. I'll probably end up getting something else to unleash the mods on, and leave this as a daily bunky.

SAME SAME!
Mods-wise, yeah pretty much(for now.)Quote:

Unlike some drivers of non-performance cars, I can admit it's not performance. Hence why I don't ignore the rules and show up on performance cruises.
20v conversion, nice :)Quote:

Pros

- Covering 650km's a week on $60

Cons:

Pros:
handles well
Decent power for a stock car
Nice stereo (aftermarket)
only 2 seats
Cons:
doesnt like steep driveways/kurbs/speedbumps
clutch slips a little after some spirited driving
poor visibility
limited esky space in the boot
oh and fucking chrome wheels
http://a614.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...fbf4b047ed.jpg
Pros
- FUELLLLLLL , the single biggest reason I keep it! Costs about $20 a fortnight on Ultimate if I am just riding to work and back everyday!
- Easy to ride and goes around corners quiet well
Cons
- Dropped it before I'd learnt properly so no lower fenders makes it look worse
- About as quick as an xr6 to 100kms and slower above, veryyyy boring in a straight line!
- Age, older things mean more things go wrong
- Rainnnn.. I don't ride in the wet or want to get wet doing it haha
- Storage space on a bike is rather limited :P
Since the Evo got a bit more serious the short drive to work isn't really worth it so this is my new daily "driver"

Pros
- It cost $89! :D
Cons
- It doesn't have an engine.

Got mainly Ferraris (Enzo, F50, F430), Lambos (Murcielago, Diablo GT and SV, Countach), BMW M3 GTR and a few Porsches.
Haha on the topic of having a bike as a daily i started nightfill about a kilometre from my house and as i finish after midnight it is easier to ride than to wake up the neibourhood.
Anyway i took Dads fairly pricy bike and locked it up and it got stolen in the last 1/2hr of my shift.
Well i still have the same bunky thrasher however have rebuilt the motor

Cons

Pretty straight, pretty clean inside. Drives a shitload better then the rolla and has more room which is win win for me.
Needs a few bits - power window switch and fuel sender. But the motor is clean as and doesnt show a drop of oil so im happy. While spin 3rd in the wet, which is good and bad at the same time.
Needs a stereo bad!
(pic added TJ:p)
Nice buy TJ, The old galants are reliable as hell and easy to drop in a VR4 motor too, Parts interchangeability is great with mitsi's too.
Cheers
