Upgrading from 95' Camry...who's got me beat? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Smitty_89 · 05-15-2012, 05:56 PM

Currently driving a 95 Toyota Camry that I've had for about 8 years...got it back in high school. Nearly 200,000 miles. This car is going to be a huge upgrade for me, anyone got an older car that they use as their DD now? I will continue to drive the Camry to work until I completely wear it out and use the FR-s as my weekend car until then.

I have all of you guys beat by a LONG way.

Check this out. My dad and I sort of share this car (really its his). But I'm pretty sure this is going to be mine one day. Before anyone asks, my family is mostly english and so is the car.

1959 Jensen 541-R GT - My Grandfather is the designer of this car. There is only 43 of them in the world with the same DS7 engine like we have. The car is also Fiberglass.

EDIT: I guess I should also say, this car is almost all original. The engine and tranny is the original and the engine has less then 60,000 miles on it.

I'm sure you guys have lots of questions. So fire away! I can tell you everything about this car.

1985 RX-7 GSL-SE, 83,000 km I've owned it for 7 years. That's my weekend car, but this will be my daily driver.

Black FR-S, Manual. Should be here the June 10th - 20th.

I think you got us beat. I'm in a '99 Solara with 202,815 as of now. Dented hood, shot suspension, and consumes a quart of oil on a bi-weekly basis. Forest green exterior...but I think that's the standard Toyota color until recently.

You've got my Grandfather Eric to thank for that. He designed it.

Only 43 in the world and the one pictured is ours!

I sold my civic months ago because I work from home, so technically I am going from nothing
