The car thread ...

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Evolution continues. I was having my Camry serviced last week. A good car and my third Camry as it was excellent for traveling as I did. Talking to the guy I bought mine from he advised all Camrys are now hybrids. That was a big step by Toyota.

1971 Renault R16, predating electrics. 1976 nonelectric Ford Escort now, too old and worn out to bother converting.
