I’ve been using my friend Yaya’s car for the past year while she’s in China doing a practicum at Wieden + Kennedy.  It’s a ‘92 Toyota Camry, and it is a beast.  Can’t say that it’s running smoothly, but I am perplexed that it is still going so strong after 286,000 miles on the road–compare that to the ‘94 VW Golf that I was forced to trash after a measly 139,000 miles.

15,888 miles per year

God knows who put so many miles on it, or how they did it.  Many of the power locks don’t work, some on the outside, some from the inside… getting inside is like a strange logic puzzle.  And it starts shaking at 60MPH, but this car is probably gonna be around for the 300,000 mark.

I can feel it.
