For those of you who wanted to see the new car:



Uh, ignore the odd shadow made by the nearby tree. Didn't notice that when I was taking the picture...

Nice! Just remember to turn your lights on when it's overcast, or no one will ever be able to see you. /mom

Interesting choice of music for joyful posting of car photos ;)

Indeed I will. I would have preferred a brighter color, but this appeared to be the best-maintained, least-driven one that I was going to get within my budget, so I took it. It does at least have daytime running lights, which should help with visibility. (I'm tempted to stick neon orange phosphorescent strips on it or something, but perhaps that would be going too far. ;))

Heh. Perhaps...

Ah, if it has daytime lamps, no worries. Nice to know they've added those since I was looking for cars (I really wanted them, but neither Honda nor Toyota had them, as I recall--or maybe on Toyota you could get them as an option, but not the Honda? Hmmm..)

Ouch. I guess they really do put all the money into the engine and none on the conveniences over there, don't they? *g*

I believe these are standard on all Camrys for 2005--the manual seems to indicate as such--although I have an "LE" edition, so I may have features that aren't standard. (Doubtful, for what I paid, but you never know.) It also seems that they've started making ABS standard for all mid-sized car offerings--I looked at probably ten or twelve Camrys and Accords, all from the last three years, and I didn't see any of them without the ABS. Pretty sure you would still have to sell your soul to get them on the Corolla or Civic, though.
