374,000 mile Toyota, original owner, and it has not been rebuilt (except replaced timing chain) even has the original alternator still working as planned

One new starter, one new timing chain because of the plastic guides that got brittle and broke (stupid idea that a lot of companies have used... morons. No plastic in the engine! Heat kills it!) one change of the spark plugs at 250,000... and that is about it. Remarkable.

I remember posting a true story about some woman who kept a car for decades, and kept track of all the replaced parts, number of batteries, number of mufflers, etc etc.. but this Toyota hasn't needed that long list of replacements.

Impressive commercial, Toryota Camry (the reinvented theme)

Camry Collector Edition, what the hell? What Toyota sales dept exec thinks people collect Camrys?

This pulled up next to me at a stoplight, and it's the first time I'd ever heard of a collector edition car. That is one presumptuous car company!

Cars are collectable in a subjective way, IMHO, based on factors not up to the car maker, unless it's smart enough to produce incredible Italian sports cars.

The LE based Camry collectors edition was new for 2001 according to Wikicars.org

Unless you knew the make, you'd never guess what type of car this is

Toyota Model AB Phaeton, 1936 (via Joel Abroad)

In the line of vintage thinking, new things are made to look cool, like Steampunk... I like it

the source of the image is http://green.autoblog.com/gallery/toyota-ft-ev-ii-0/#3 but I worked on it to make it easier to discern the steering wheel... and is that speedo on gimbals? Cool idea!

this is the cowboy truck... accessorized in cowhide, beltbuckle door handles, and has a BBQ to go in the pickup bed, the Midnight Rider Tundra

Blah blah blah... BBQ grill, beer tap, ice chest, 42-inch HDTV and Kicker sound system (dual amps, dual subwoofer etc etc)
