Daily Driver

I'm the proud new owner of a used 1988 Toyota Camry. (Not the one in the photo- I snagged this one from the Internet.) Mine is dark blue, but is otherwise identical.

Everything in it is in very good shape considering its age. Both original user's manuals were in the glovebox, along with a ten-minute red road flare. The air conditioner still blows cold (I had to turn it off on the trip home because I was chilly) and the cruise control even works.

Even better, the engine only has 151,000 miles on it, which is nothing for a Toyota. A quick calculation confirmed that its currently getting around 35 miles a gallon, which is great considering the high price of gasoline.

The price? $600. Even if it only lasts six months, it was a steal.
