My new ride
Picked it up yesterday...August 2004 Toyota Camry Altise...entry level Camry but still with power steering, electric windows, cruise control, boot big enough for at least two bodies. It's all I need...

Nice work Ella! I drive a 1997 Camry (http://images.demo6.ezwebcatalog.com....com/0202b.JPG - but darker) and I love it. I've always liked the newer Camrys (Camries?), especially the sport ones.

I love the feeling of getting into a new car - when everything is so clean, it smells new
Thanks Ella - I'm jealous now! On the other hand, I wouldn't swap my 2001 Forester for a new Camry

@ Rlyss...nice choice of car, mate!
@Spindles....I almost bought a Forester - I was *that* close. And I also thought I'd get a RAV 4 for a while (well, that's what my oldest daughter wanted). What I wanted was a black Porsche Cayenne, but the budget only extended to the Camry. Got 5k for my 7 year old Toyota Starlet 5 door hatch, so I was out of pocket around 23k.

We do quite a bit of camping - and while not a serious off road vehicle, the forester does go places a normal car would not go.
They have also fixed (since we bought ours) my biggest gripe - not much leg room - my wife and I are both 6' plus... Just think about the porsche as your goal - it is no good to achieve them too early

Lack of leg room was what my little Toyota hatch had in abundance. The Camry feels like a limo in comparison.
We used to do a lot of camping when we lived in Tassie in our trusty Kombi. Man, we did some kms in that thing.

nice ride, but it just doesnt compare to my $200 KB with 4/100 aircon, texta black seatbelts, and dimmeys seatcovers. with a tempermental hatch, and an fuel leak to boot, nothing quite tops my KB. for only $19.95 plus onroad costs, you too can be sweating your ass off in mid summer with the heater stuck on full.

Pass. I drove one of those for 4 years - see Kombi pic in my post above. I could get it up to 80 km on a good day, it used to break down in the most inconvenient spots and I almost gave birth in the back! I kinda miss it in a perverse way.

I know....the news loves those stories! The truth is, around 4pm on Feb 4th 1994 I called my husband to take me to the hospital...he was cooking at Lounge in the city (Melbourne) and jumped on his pushbike to ride home down St Kilda Rd to our Elwood flat.
He got here and we jumped into the Kombi and drove to the birth centre in Moorabbin. I was on my knees on the floor in the back of the Kombi on the way there, and my waters broke on the way down. We arrived and happened to encounter a pre-natal group of prospective mums and dads on the way in. I ran in, manic and dripping with maternal waters, frantically looking for directions to my birthing suite. They stared at me in wide eyed horror. We checked in, had the babe and went home, all in 24 hours. Very surreal.

Gee - that makes our quiet drive to the hospital sound positively boring. Our excitement came later when my wife was rushed in for an emergency caesar (don't you love it when the child doesn't want to come out).
