[NIKV69]

Congratulations Fred! But what's this driving on the sidewalk stuff?

[cancidas]

fred, the oil pan is a lot lower on this that it was on the RAV 4. just be careful...

other than that, niiiiice! :borat:

[Fly1346]

Ahhh!!! Nice ride, I love the new camry. We got a 2003 Camry and I just LOVE IT!! Excellent and very reliable, you got any pics of the inside btw?

One more question is this a V6 and is it a hybrid?

Sorry as I have no interior right now

You didn't get an interior? What, was that optional equipment? :shock:

[GrummanFan]

What did you do, hit every major Long Island landmark within a 24 hour period?

Good job!

[cancidas]

fred, i love that last pic! definately the kind of thing i would do! then again, i'd probably back up over the sign on my way out...

[PhilDernerJr]

HAHA, yes, that last pic is the best....violating each rule posted.

Always great coverage of whatever it is going on, Fred. Great work and congrats on the car.

One thing you should do is blur your license plate. I now can get all your info :borat:

Congrats and good luck!!!

[lijk604]

That car has visited almost all of Fred's photo spots in the span of 72 hours! Now we need a shot of it by the AAM, somehow I feel that is coming soon though. :D

The new camry is an extremely luxurious car. It drives really well, the inside is very comfortable. Great all around car! Is that a v4 or v6? We decided to go for the V4, and its got plenty of kick to it!

[stuart schechter]

You wish you could tow that tomcat! (probably can 8) )

It is a 4banger.... My wife has an 07 and my ***** is an 08. I had an 06, that did not have a lot of kick. I now have 7k on it and LOVE TO DRIVE IT! Gas sucks but this car seems really good.....and it DOES GO!

I know I can without issue and could take it the intire way. Hell, a Chevette could do it, but my car will do while looking cooler than a Chevette! :lol: :borat:

[T-Bird76]

You could but the tranny would burn out. Most engines have the power but the Tranny's are the main issue and will overheat and die.

And Nick, I can not believe you found video of my salesman! I was going to get
another but he is not selling cars anymore. I believe he is now selling A-350's

[mirrodie]

Fred,

I love how you've documented the car in so many places. my wife and I made a game of trying to identify where each was taken.

Was the following taken near an LIRR trestle?

I did get a 2007 Honda Accord V6 with a Vtec, all leather, moon roof and seat warmers. SEAT WARMERS!

I was doing like 80 on the entrance for Ocean hwy on my way to work and the car just could not be held back any longer. I push the petal down and the car push me back, when I was done with the entrance on the very empty road, too early on a Saturday morning I had seen triple digits on the speed-o-meter!

All I could think was the classic internet joke

My Camry 4 banger was fast...This is a little rice rocket!
