A Tale of Two Camrys
"Good morning!"
"Good morning to you as well, Camry SE. What did you get up to this weekend?"
"Well..."
"...I drove 400 miles to Summit Point Raceway. I got like 32mpg on the way there, and the guy driving me was really cheerful because I'm quiet inside and my iPod integration is good. And when I got there, I went out on the race track and really let my 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine spin out, man. I mean I was running around the track in well under two minutes a lap with three people on board. I got airborne out of the Carousel. I passed everything from Corvettes to GT3 Porsches in the advanced drivers group. My brakes never really got that tired. My tires held up pretty well too. Then I went on the skidpad and got effortlessly sideways because I have lift-throttle oversteer built in.
Then I went back out again and again, completing maybe 100 laps of the track without even using a full tank of fuel. Then I drove the 400 miles back home in complete comfort, beating Google's estimate by 56 minutes because I can easily run the marked 35mph corners on Routes 522 and 9 at 80mph. I beat 30mpg on the way back, too. I'm not a bit the worse for wear. Everybody who rode in me loved me. I went just as fast as a Volvo T5 and you can buy me for $23,600 if you like or rent me for $30 a day and when I have 150,000 miles I'll still be worth ten thousand dollars to somebody. I'm a really good car. What did you do this weekend?"
"Well, I went to the Indian grocery then I slept in the driveway."
"That sounds nice too."
