15 facts about Toyota Camry

Hi.

I own a car like this and, not sure why at all, decided to write some facts about the Camry. The '40s. Here we go, anyway.

1. The Camry doesn't rock. Not at all. No, it drives well, accelerates well and so on. But if it is not a black 3.5 in the same black leather with Caspian Cargo playing through some android - no, it does not rock. And you'll remember that every time you pluck a tonne and a half of Japanese iron off a junction with a 170bhp motor. In fact, it's better in motion - you can punish 1.5 Corollas (especially those who don't know that they are being punished).

2. the highway is its element. It confidently walks 150 km/h in the direction of, say, China and just as confidently gobbles up oil carefully poured into it. However, you don't think about it, because a suspension works, an air conditioner blows, the engine is not especially audible in fifth gear. You only think that it would be possible to add noise. Or to make the surface of Transbaikalian roads smoother.

3. Girls. To buy a Camry and think that this car will attract the attention of a pretty 20-year-old foolish girl means to live in a village where all the other guys ride horses. The Camry hasn't attracted the attention of girls ever since Timati's music videos featured Mercedes and Eryk Davidschi started telling suburban humanity that there are Porsches/Feraris/Maseratis and BE EM VEs, of course.

4. Prestige. Well, yes, well, yes. About prestige - the point above. The fable here is that these cars are associated with the authorities. They used to be (about 10 years ago). Now - only in districts when it gets cold to ride in shepherds' camps on horses. What's more, a brand-new 70 in the neighbouring lane only aroused people's interest for the first month. Beef laden Camrys have already become so familiar in a stream that one can be distinguished only by the fact, that yours is a little bit cleaner than others. And there's no cow's leg sticking out of the boot. I've seen it in Aginsk, yes.

5. Right-hand drive makes it closer to Japan. No, it doesn't. Makes it easier to find contract parts that actually fit you. Except for some fundamental differences it's still the same model invented for Americans and the smell of judeam has to be blown in here like the newfangled dry fog at the car washes.

6. Incredible reliability. And incredible panel squeaks, of course. These two factors don't live without each other, like road boots don't live without a nasty pebble under your heel. You will shake out this pebble time after time, and it will be all the same. Yes, the car is really reliable, because it is simply enough assembled. But it is not the same as it was in the 90s.

7. You can always find a live magpie. Yes, if you're in the woods. And not if it's an ACV40. The search of alive specimen can be very delayed, if the term "alive" includes not only its ability to start and drive without flaring up a check (which is not there, by the way). Conditional availability and conditional unpretentiousness do their job and on the market, as a rule, there are examples with 200+ km run and "like everything is fine, only some tint on a steering wheel buttons".

8. Camry owners unite in clubs. And they discuss how much oil they ate and how much mileage they get per one hundredth of a city. Because there is nothing else to discuss. Not at all. But debates about oil and consumption are enough for club to live and to communicate actively. We can also drink beer together. And talk about oil. Oh, there's also a topic. WHO POURS WHAT KIND OF OIL?

9. The owner of any generation thinks that his model is the true Camry. All the others are not the same or not yet the same. Of course, that's total bullshit. Only Camry 40 is real =)

10. St. Petersburg assembly is "not that". They paint it wrong, assemble it wrong, drive it wrong and in general everything in it is wrong. The assembled it, and they - well, you know. In fact nobody can not say, why they are worse or vice versa - better, but disputes are conducted till now. Owners of the 50th body continue to behave more calmly, because they have a higher percentage of assembling. Ukraine snidely chuckles because they still sell Japanese assembling. As for me - St. Petersburg assembly has ugly font on board computer. Otherwise - who cares what to drive into the pension?

11. Camry 40 should be black. No. Camry 40 has to burn oil, and it doesn't owe anything else. By the way. What's the worst fate for a black Camry? To be assembled in , sold to some company, then to be written off to Buryatia and after a couple of years of service there end up in Chita to drive the director of some small company. The panel will tell you the colour of sand in the Gobi Desert. And the interior - what places it can tear and burst. It's black, though.

12. The magpie must have cruise control from aliexpress. And also a spring that shoots the boot fully open. Well, the spring is optional. But the cruise is. It is especially actual with right wheel, taking into account, that it works in a range from 40 up to 120 km/h. But it works.

13. Every self-respecting cameraman has already changed the steering column. Yes. And I've also had the steering wheel buttons re-lit, so to speak. And then, again, started speculating about oil leakage.

14. Adroid head unit. If you have the same ACV40 and you've decided to go further than to take AUX out of regular headset - you just have to buy android with navigation, bluetooth, internet, engriburds, and if it's completely gone - put TESLA-style and step the fuck up to date.

15. If you've got yellow plastic inserts - you should definitely change it to dark wood/tape/waterprint it. In general, do anything to avoid seeing Karelian birch in your business sedan.
