    For dirty the interior is look how CLEAN the interior is! Crazy for how shotty the exterior is!

      April 2010, a tornado "Slammed" my eta

      0411110805.jpg

      This pic is after we cut all the crap off of it.

      0411111037e.jpg

      I bought this as a replacement. Nice car but it was too small for me.

      1003111516.jpg

      My eta still ran and drove good so I decided to repair the rear window.

      1121111355zps7e9c3c3a.jpg

      It does not look too bad if you ask me. In the daylight if I don't point it out many people don't even notice. Note: the plastic protection barrier is still on. I don't have a pic with it peeled off but it does look good. It cost me $30 to fix and some time.

      This is my winter beater.....I may part it out in spring....depends on how well it survives the salt beating.

      1121111505azps5651720f.jpg

      This is what I hope to store this winter if the beater keeps running.

      Thanks for looking  :)

        Nice group of winter beaters in here makes me nervous that I still haven't got mine... Worse case scenario I'll repair the Camry that hasn't left my driveway in 6 years.

          What does the Camry need? They are good cars and I actually like them.

            hooray for another Camry driver.  Suffer in agony with me.

            1993toyotacamry4drdxsedan-pic-5134

            Quite possibly one of the most reliable cars ever made.
            Quite possibly the worst car for an enthusiast to drive.

            Somebody please hit me this winter. I yearn for something more enjoyable, because waiting for this car to break and stop running on its own is going to take far far too long. 

            also, if that is not a v6 camry, then I will have to question the sanity of the sick soul that fitted it with urban racing attire.

            the 2.2 is a lazy motor that pulls hard from idle to about 932rpm then runs out of breath anywhere after.

                  on the bright side: Turbo rwd + winter = fun

                  the other hand: broke down in winter = Not fun

                    I would love to know, as I have no idea but When shifting the car from Park to Drive or park to reverse there is a clunk/chunk when it switches not in the shifter but under the hood. but it goes into those gears so transfer case? bad trans? shift sensor?

                    who knows.

                      sounds like transmission mount buddy. You have to lift the whole motor up off the engine cradle or pound out the studs on it lol what a pain.

                                  good good,  because the second you start posting stuff like this

                                  your man-card, your credit card, and your Menards Big Cards will all be revoked.

                                  Warning,   your IQ and faith in humanity will suffer if you read the comments in videos like that.

                                    I did manage to save big money too!

                                      Those cars will NOT die! As much as you want it to! My x gf's car blew the timing belt at 200k on her 2.2L. I thought it was finally done... NO! I put a timing belt on for 30 bucks and it runs fine! God Dammit!

                                          I did the timing belt on mine as well. Im sure the small-handed Japanese engineers thought there was a crap-load of space between the side of the engine and the sheetmetal but my man-hands disagreed.
