Fire Sale...
Over the past 3 weeks I have sold the 4Runner (waiting to deliver it) & the BMW R1100S. The E90 is under serious consideration at the right price. I am over owning belongings that are rarely used, with exception of the 4R. I have something in the works, a new auto purchase, but it goes against the 'code' of a mudgeon.

Woah... hopefully you're not selling for fire sale prices!! Can't say I blame you though. As I've gotten older, I've put less value on the concept of a "garage queen" and just want something I can drive regularly. Let us know what you end up with, now I'm curious!

*yes*

a garage queen just undergoes dry rot and then what you get are engines that eat oil.

Camrys (Camries?) do not come in colors. There is only one color of Camry, and it is camrysilverbeige.

And it really is an interesting color. On some it appears nearly silver. On others, nearly white, and on others beige. But once on a particular Camry, the color doesn't change unless you happen to induce a camrycorner, and then its only a partial color change...

I was following a camry last night and noted it had a corner free bumper. Then I noticed the bumper was shiny and a darker shade of camrysilverbeige suggesting the driver had made their initial allotment of camry corners and was resetting for more.

SCA, are you really getting a camry???

I know, but the initial post has strong hints in that general direction.
