I would put some baseball cards in the spokes, but otherwise it is perfect!

I like to drive our black '07 Tundra Crewmax Limited 5.7L. =]

Wow! You must of just bought it recently. The Crew Max's just came out like 2 weeks ago. BTW, the Tundra sucks. ;) Nah, it is a good truck. Although I would only buy it for the powertrain. Everything else about it turns me off.
 
Nothing too special here...

2001 Alero, top of the line, we do love her. Plus, with only 40000 miles, she'll be around for quite a while:).

Rear of same...

Now here's our interesting beast. I don't think I've ever seen another first-gen Honda Odyssey in this color anywhere except my driveway. She's a 1997, with 140,000 miles on her.

The rear of the Honda.

And yes, the two cars were photographed on different days:rolleyes: Note the Apple logos, center of the bottom of the rear windshield on the Alero, bottom left corner on the Honda.

Yeah it isn't the best looking car on the planet, but it gets 25MPG and is fully loaded (and only has 53k). Haha... :)

Thanks! I love the car to death, and it still drives like the car did when it was new. The best part about it is how clean it is still. My grandma kept the car in excellent condition, and I still do the same. :)

Yeah, it looks brand new in the pic. Toyota makes great cars. I actually almost bought a Camry last year when I sold my Cavalier. It was like a '94 model, though. XLE. Fully loaded. It was an awesome car, but it had like 144k on it and they still wanted like $4000 or something. Probably a fair price, but I didn't want to spend that much for a car with high mileage. Being a Toyota and all, I'm sure it had quite a bit of life left in it. I guess I'm just a bit paranoid. :cool:

Winter: 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 - 22" Dip Wheels - Shaved badges



Summer: 1999 BMW 740il - 20" BMW M-Parallels

What are shaved badges? I'd have to guess that those tires are pretty useless in the winter, that is assuming you live in an area with snow! :D

The beemer is awesome. I really do prefer that generation 7-series to the current one.

Thanks for the complements. Shaved badges refers to the "Trail Rated" and "4x4" designations on the exterior. I removed them all, I prefer a cleaner look. I also tinted the front windows, and installed true HID lighting and a 10 inch subwoofer. It is my daily driver. Bling!:D

I live in Michigan, and only run the BMW when the sun is shining and never in rain or snow. It has 58,000 miles, which is low for an 8 year old car. The jeep's wheels come off in the fall, and go back on in the spring. Road salt would pit the chrome in an instant.:eek:

nice G.C., the rims are nice, what do you have? 2 or 3 inch profile? you thought about shaving the handles too?
Click to expand...

are you asking what the tire size is?

265/40/r22

rides great, much improved handling as well. pretty tight for what it is, and the autostick makes it fun to drive

as far as extensive mods, the only other thing I would consider would be taking a notch or two out of the suspension if possible. I dont really want to mess with the ride or start wearing out tires though..

I tried to keep it as stock as possible for resale value. I kept all the badges, headlights, etc... so it will go right back to normal.

Oh yeah the Camry is one of the best cars they have to offer. Alot of people around my area have them, which makes it hard for my car to stand out but with the two tone Super White/Oak it does a little bit. But yeah the only thing wrong with the paint is the fact that it's scratched and chipped :(
 
The Supra was the best car Toyota had to offer, but they killed it. They're already making gas guzzling trucks and SUV's, I think a sports car can fit in their lineup. Especially since the environmental groups aren't targeting cars like the Mustang, Corvette, a Lambo, etc. So I don't know why Toyota is so against making a sports car. The Supra would be the only Toyota I would consider buying. I hope they are developing a new Supra. But, until then they are making cars that are bland or ugly, but that is IMHO since styling is subjective.

Yeah I agree that the Supra was an awesome car! Once they killed off the Celica and the MR2 Spyder, there is nothing sporty left in the lineup. I guess Toyota thinks that the Camry SE will serve all of the buyers wanting a real sports car. That my friend, is a joke.
 
My other Rover:

I picked it up in Ireland for a nice 7.95 Euro.

FWD and performance does not compute. Warning warning overload. :) The Camry with the 268 HP 3.5 V6 does 0-60 in an impressive 5.8 seconds( C&D) and the Aura XR with the 252 HP 3.6 V6 does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds(R&T). Which probably can be contributed to the 251 lb of torque at 3200 RPM compared to the 248 lb of torque at 4700 RPM of the Camry's 3.5 V6. That is the Aura's only advantage over the Camry is the torque. Anyway...... as I said FWD and performance does not go together. RWD or AWD is the best for the best performance possible. If Toyota wants to be #1 and appeal to ALL buyers they need a RWD vehicle that is not a Lexus.
