Toyota on a roll or are owners dickheads?

[pauldun170]

I am a toyota owner.
2002 Camry LE 4banger 5spd
Bought it in 2008 with forty something thousand miles on the odometer.

Why did I buy it over something more interesting?
1. Was planning on buying a motorcycle in 2009 and the purchase of a "family" sedan was the appropriate political choice considering a bunch of other factors (college expenses, wife doing the staying at home thing and other priorities\realities that where buying a GTO or Miata during the same time period of a new motorcycle just wasn't the right thing to do).
2. I wanted a family sedan (with room for tall people and car seats) equiped with a manual transmission.
3. I wanted low miles
4. I wanted something mechanically reliable and easy to work on
5. I set a cap of 10K


After seeing countless cars that I wouldn't mind rocking pushing 100K+ miles on the odometer and a HUGE variety of fagomatic equiped cars I found the Camry. It met all the requirements I initially established so I bought it.
Its boring but it gets the job done. All it has to do is take me a few miles to the train station\gym every day.
Its a station car that will probably be hauling me around for the next 10 years.
Its dull
Its paid for
I have more interesting vehicles in the garage.
