@ overpriced Chevy. Would he want you in a Mercury Sable SHO-equivalent if one ever went into production?

Hyundai was notorious for it up until 2012ish. I think the year prior they had that designer come over from Audi and they started doing their own design language. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think their lineup is pretty unique these days. Yeah, there's the LED headlight thing, but dammit, who isn't doing that these days?

It's just funny how Hyundai used to always rip off Honda in a major way and now the tables have turned. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, HONDA!!!

Maj, took your advice and got some Berryman's to add to the tank. Also got some of their TB cleaner and will go to town on the TB of the Camry... Hopefully fix all this crappy idling issues..


Also IIRC the 02 Camry has the electronic throttle so no throttle cable .. I'll double check when I take it apart though .

I got Berryman on the way from Amazon...2 bottles for my two cars. I read it'll make them both seem like they are on 100 shot of NOS for at least 5 seconds. Worth it.

And at this point, who gives a fuck?

That's like saying Ford was the first to come up with the assembly line manufacturing process, 100 years ago. These days, who gives a fuck?

Yeah I'm expecting to take this Camry to the strip after throwing a bottle in and cleaning the TB, should probably get low 13's....
