A True Status Car




Here's the new hybrid Camry. Made in Kentucky. Built to last. Built to save gas. Its kid brother Prius can have solar panels added on top to bump the mileage even higher. Left to my own devices, I'd buy one this year. Left with three children to educate (which is actually better), I'll keep our Camry and our Sienna running as long as possible.

Plus, years ago, the county where Camries (Camrys?) are built voted down a bond referendum to build a new and direly needed high school. Two weeks later, the Toyota management showed up at a school board meeting and said, "Look, you needed the bonds because it would take ten years of taxing to pay for the school? How about we just pay our taxes for ten years in advance?" And they did, and it worked, and the school is a glory.

Comments:
Seeing how the post looks on the site, I suddenly realize that I WOULD like two hybrid Camrys even better than one.
 
I disappeared one of the cars for you. Poof!
Blogger takes a little time with the uploading of pictures. I have posted as many as three of the same picture thinking I had posted none.
I like the Camry. Gretchen's mom has a hybrid.
However, I still like the idea of driving an outrageously expensive and dramatically overstated car for a day to shock and confound my young co-workers.
