Well, on new years, my wife, my dog and I narrowly avoided death in my Camry I posted on the previous page.. It started raining on a very hot day and my car spun out of control almost instantly. I slammed headfirst into the railing of a bridge, only going about 45 kph (about 28 mph) and even at such a low speed the damage was pretty brutal. Honestly, we're all very lucky to be alive, let alone basically uninjured.. Here are some post-wreck photos:

It broke my heart losing this car. So comfortable, and so much "Oomph"... but when it died it didn't take us with it and for that I'm so, so immensely grateful... It could have been so much worse. I don't want to think about it.
Anyway, since then, I've purchased a dark red 1996 Ford Fairmont V6.
(This isn't my acutal car, but I think this photo does it better justice as my camera is a piece of shit)
Other than being too short for my head to fit in comfortably.. It's okay. It's runs acceptably. Doesn't ride nearly as smoothly as the Camry did though, chugs quite a bit at red lights and the suspension is almost non existant, I can feel every single bump on the road. I just feel like it isn't as good as the Camry overall - The doors unlock themselves constantly and I just have to stand there locking it repeatedly until it decides to cooperate. All the bits and pieces just don't seem to have aged well, especially when compared to my previous car.. Then again I'm comparing a Ford to a Toyota, both of them 20 years old, what should I expect?
