That's the way cars showed be reviewed. Once you start tacking, subtracting and cutting things, it's not the same car any longer.

I mean, should the a review of the Camry start with the NASCAR version of it?

For you young guys,,, fishing on a Tuesday and Wednesday is one of many great things about retirement. This is a group of us that went to Venice La to hunt for Yellowfin tuna. No Yellowfin that day but crushed the Wahoo. 13 Fish up to 75lbs. We fished inshore the next day and got limits of Redfish. Life is good.

No, but instead of pissing on it, he should at least explain that it's a feature, not a bug. That's the part with which I take exception.

Cotton grows on low bushes, not trees, at least the type the is useful. Mostly picked by tractor now, it used to be picked by hand. Backbreaking work.

As many cars as some of these guys drive, they may not know what the aftermarket can do with the platform, but then again, it's a Miata. It's always been known as strong. Ever watch spec miata racing? So entertaining.

Do people actually think the nascar race vehicles that have been painted to look like a Camry have anything to do with a real Camry?
