Again Gents, sorry for the 3rd person, but, the sumbitch is the best car I have ever had as far as getting from point a to b with the least amount of worry.
This 1999 Toyota Camry is a 6 cylinder with a manual transmission. Leather and whatever fairly fancy for 15 years ago. She just turned over 500,000 miles last week. The only thing outsid of regular maintenance has been 2 strut mounts on the front. Original clutch, a shit load of oil changes, she really runs like a dream. I get over 100k on a set of tires and around 300k on a set of brakes.
There are some days I almost can't bring myself to get in her. I have been looking at autotrader a good bit lately, but, it is really a game now to see how many miles I can get out of her. Also, I like to change my own gears and you damn near can't hardly find a manuals transmission in a 4 door sedan.
I'm probably going to keep driving her as it is a game like I mentioned. I have a weekend truck that I drive, did I mention, she's my work car. When I do look at autotrader, I would really like either a nice Honda Accord or Acura TL or TSX with a manual transmission. This toyota is fantastic, but, a Honda is a little bit more of a drivers car and you can find them with a manual transmission.
Share your tales of mileage and car wants.

You keep looking at other cares and she is going to quit on you. Honda is good cars. Yota too. Anyone can say anything they want about a Prius but them sumbitches are the most reliable and cheap cost cars to run per mile on the road today.e Dream car for me would be a Volvo c30 Polestar. I'd say....hang on kid...we getting there fast...but safe. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

I've only owned two vehicles. A Dodge Ram and a Chevy Tahoe. Both were gas guzzlers. I love my tahoe but i'm thinking about trading it and getting a car.

Camry's have always been solid.
I'm a sedan man. I can vouche for the accord, I've had mine for 7 years, 170000km, still runs smooth and have had very little problems, burns oil like an MF sometimes. I wish I got mine I manual though, I've been driving a scion TC for the past few weeks, manual, don't like the car much, but loved driving manual. Next car will be manual. Thinking a used bmw with a drop top.

I'm looking to get a nice big Harley. I'm tired of cars and getting caught up in heavy traffic going and coming from work. Plus I save on gas and insurance.
