05 Camry

[The88]

Well guys I changed up jobs again in November of 2019 so I had to start putting money into my old car. I have owned it since 06 and just turned 100k so it is definitely a low mileage car. Since I am now driving it to the docks which is about a 5hr round trip I wanted it to stop properly, track straighter and not vibrate my ass off on my commute here and there. So the past few days it got new KYB struts, inner/outer tie rods, lower ball joints, end links, brakes all around, wheels and tires with a 4 wheel alignment. Needless to say the car needed it but now rides like a lowered Cadillac.

Up next for it will more than likely be a new set of headlights with led bulbs, fresh tint and will more than likely pull out the old paint guns and make a DYI paint booth and spray away.

Guess I can more than likely pull some old pictures out of the car but just got a couple from today after getting new rubbers slapped on. Pulled my 18x8.5 ADR Cyphers and went with 18x8 Motegi Traklites with 225/45r18 Uniroyal TigerPaws. Best part about new wheels is you want to keep them clean for at least a day... Well weather here was not cooperating so clean shots will have to wait.

There you go got a little wash and installed a usb charger in the cubby under the AC controls. Will post that pic later. When I take it that is. Put that in there to power a bluetooth adapter and passed the 3.5mm in there as well. I hate seeing wires

Yeah I liked them as well but after running them for 15yrs they had their wear. 2 of them bent to hell and all 4 needing to be refinished. They looked good from far but far from good.

New Iberia... Head toward Lafayette on 90 and you will pass right on by.

Interesting color. With those black wheels if you added a couple m&m's stickers and an 18 on the door you might be able to get away with a lot of **** on the highway.

Oh, I thought you were commuting from New Iberia to one of the ports.

Yeah the color is "interesting" to say the least but it has grown on me after 15 years of owning it. I am considering a color change in the not to distant future. Considering a Matte Blue Metallic to change the look completely but in the end it is still just a Camry.

The Japanese build great cars for the most part. I actually really like both of our Hondas. The Element can fit a freakish amount of stuff inside, the seats fold into a bed, it’s AWD, it’s a manual and gets pretty good pretty good gas mileage. The Fit gets really good gas mileage and is cheap to operate. My wife picked one with a 6-speed manual. Manuals in whip around cars are better in our area because it’s so twisty. You’re always able to be in the right gear for a corner.

Just ordered these Enkei RPF1 wheels for the Honda Fit. The factory wheels are 18lbs and these are a scant 9.5lbs. Should liven it up a bit.

Yes sir. I actually went to school on Avery Island in the mid 80s when it was still open. Field trips were normally a walk down the street to the factory and Jungle Gardens.
