I don't usually do these, but this one kicked the bloke gene.

1. What vehicle do you drive?

1998 Toyota Camry "Vienta"

2. How long have you had it?

I bought it used in 2000. It only had 28,000km on the clock. When I started looking around for another car I asked my mechanic "What's a good car?"

He said immediately "Toyota Camry. They're reliable, easy to work on, and the parts are cheap."

I made up a wish-list of what sort of Camry I wanted: V6, Manual (preferred, would take an automatic) White (preferred. any other colour is too hot out here) A/C, power steering (preferred). Next day I went to the local Toyota dealer and gave him my wish list. He thought for a moment and said "Yeah, we have one over there *points into the used car lot*"

So I bought it. White, V6, 5speed manual Toyota Camry "Vienta" with A/C and power steering.

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?

3 litre V6 motor with 5 speed manual gearbox.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?

The CD player doesn't always recognize there's a cd in the mag.

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?

If money was no object I'd have 2 cars:

Bloke Gene Den wants a 7 litre V8 Holden Monaro (Pontiac GTO to the United Statians)

or

Conservationist Den wants a Toyota Prius Hybrid.
