One reason we bought Cindy a base 4 banger Camry for grocery getting was my "honorary nephew's" last car...he was here often, using my tools and ramps to change it's oil. A pool player, seemed he was always driving to one tournament or another. A '97 Camry, bought for $2,400 with 124,000 miles on it. When it finally died earlier this year? 346,000! I did convince him to use Mobil 1...and he changed whenever he thought about it, probably around 8,000 miles.
Not many cars can match that life, I suppose. But hell...driving a Camry on long hauls?
Say I had a 500 miles or better drive to take. '09 Mustang Bullitt or a '16 Toyota Camry? Bullitt wins...every time.
