This 1996 camry was my first car.  my parents told me they would pay half up to $4000 if i paid the other half.  i wanted a camry.  to me they screamed i'm a responsible and practical person. I'm still not sure if I fooled anybody.  well, after 237,000 miles, we said good-bye to the camry.  It was pretty weak in its last days and on its final trip made it all the way to our street and died 2 doors down.  It was a lot like Scarlet's horse that died at Tara's gates after carrying her and Melanie home from Atlanta.  (I love that book/movie!) 
 Because I am a sap I took pictures from the porch.

The man, assuming I was taking pictures of my son admiring the tow truck, told me he'd let jackson sit up front. So i took that picture too.
I don't have pictures of our early days shared together because they were pre-digital photos but here are some special days we shared together.

Do you think the two months I borrowed it while you were on your mission were its undoing?
I really loved this car while I used it. Thanks again for sharing with your strange new sister-in-law.
She was a good ol' car.
So sad.... I still reminisce about my first car.
