Ah, this brings back many......many a fond memory of me and Herb; hot sun, checking the status of the tow truck arrival. Consternation. Sweat. The game, if you will. Bayliss's engine spluttered and cut out in rush hour traffic on a three lane road yesterday afternoon and I couldn't get it to turn over. Two helpful cops pushed him across the steep incline road while I steered him out of traffic and safely into a business parking lot. We shall see what shakes out. And so it goes... . . . #ilovewhatyoudoformetoyota #ilovethe80s #toyotacamry #toyota #v20 #v20camry #2ndgencamry #oldcar #vintageyota #yota #yotalife #slowcar #bayliss

Finally got off my ass and had Bayliss's original window sticker laminated. For those curious about what a 1989 Toyota Camry DLX as optioned would cost today, it's just shy of $40,000.Yoiks! . . . #ilovewhatyoudoformetoyota #ilovethe80s #toyotacamry #toyota #camry #yota #vintagetoyota #vintagevibes #windowsticker #inflation #v20camry #v20 #2ndgencamry #bayliss #slowcar

3 whole years down with this goofball. Thank you for loving me each day and working hard for us to grow as far as we can together. it's been years full of laughter, friendship, gratitude, lots of cars, sarcasm, nerding out, and adventures. I can't wait to see what our future holds, and I wouldn't want to do this life with anyone else. I love you (more) Steven 😘 here's to us!

Calling all creative-minded car geniuses. I love these center caps. They're listed as actual, OEM center caps for a 1989 Camry with stock 14 inch wheels, they fit the bolt pattern exactly, but they don't grip on, they don't click on, and they sure don't stay on. I'm guessing maybe my wheels aren't stock and were replaced at some point and are somehow anathema/allergic to these caps. So, of course, I've tried to fudge it. I've gone through two and a half sets of them, and I've tried to affix them with heavy duty 3M double sided tape, JB Weld, Loctite and, most recently, adhesive-mounted fucking magnets. No luck. Any thoughts? I mean other than just, "Gabe; God hates you". . . . #ilovewhatyoudoformetoyota #toyotacamry #camry #v20 #v20camry #2ndgencamry #1989 #89 #vintagetoyota #yota #slowcar #bayliss #wheels #hubcaps #steelies

Around a month ago, I brought Bayliss home from the mechanic. After a seemingly endless lobbing of parts at him, I took a combination of advice from my mechanic (replace the ignition switch) and @sw201444 (check and clean all grounds & replace the ground strap). Things seemed positive from the first crank of the engine; confident starts, chill idles, and no sporadic silliness upon cold, hot, or warm starts. I mentioned to @kavitasarmah , a few days after bringing him home, how good I was feeling about the car now. "Let's wait," she suggested, "to declare him really fixed until June 1st." That seemed like a good idea, (because, as we know, I've been burned before) so I took Kay's advice, too. Some folks say "the worst 'vice' is 'advice'." but I find I disagree. Maybe it's the people I surround myself with. Anyway, long story short is that, in spite of also leading a brand new Hyundai (she's lovely, too) I have been driving the shit out of this 1989 Camry DLX with just over 160,000 miles and June 1st came and went and he's still doing what Toyotas are supposed to do: run. Maybe.... forever? Who knows. But, for now, he's all OG paint and pristine blue tweed. On a recent drive to Bucks County, one person complimented him at a red light, and one did so at a red light on the drive back. "That's NICE! What year is that?!" I'm always surprised when someone has something nice to say about him, and I almost automatically blurt out, "63!", but then I remember to add a couple decades. 💙 🤍 . . . #ilovewhatyoudoformetoyota #ilovethe80s #toyotacamry #toyota #v20 #v20camry #vintagetoyota #vintageaf #vintagevibes #1989 #2ndgencamry #portrait #slowcar #bayliss #drivetastefully #drivetheclassic

Many years ago, I got a Master of Arts in Education degree. Why? Don't ask. I can assure you that it wasn't because I was dying to become a teacher or because I was looking for an easy way to blow $48,000. The degree never proved... professionally useful, but I did learn a thing or two that helped me be a better father and human being. One of the things I was taught was about memorable learning experiences, which is the not-very-shocking idea that things really sink into a person's brain if they're experienced in a manner that is unorthodox, jarring, or impactful. Some lessons learned have to hit us in the pocketbook for them to really make a dent. Since I bought Bayliss, I was having issues. He idled rough, intermittently, wouldn't start, intermittently, was doing all kinds of weird things; intermittently which anybody who knows anything about cars will tell you that "intermittent" issues are the worst, because they're fleeting and unpredictable and they never flare up at the mechanic. Well, I started throwing parts at the car: new coil, new distributor, new starter motor. Bayliss spent 43 absurd days at the mechanic, who theorized that corroded wiring was the culprit. I can't even talk about what it cost. The problem was never fixed, and I was too upset to bring him back there. But I did what I should have done at the beginning, reach out to a vintage 'yota fiend. Steven W answered my DM immediately and he did something the mechanic didn't; he really listened to everything I was reporting about the issue, and he knew, with near certainty, it was the coolant temperature sensor. A $10 part, that I replaced myself in under three minutes. This 35-year-old car is running like new, starts every time, no matter how long it's parked, and has get-up-and-go (for a 2.0, that is) that I hadn't previously experienced. I am so grateful to Steven, and it was surely a memorable learning experience for me. I can ask for help and, as a suicide awareness advocate, I should know and practice that. Look for the helpers; they're everywhere. . . . #ilovewhatyoudoformetoyota #vintageaf #toyotacamry #vintagetoyota #v20camry #v20 #bayliss #slowcar #diy #caranddriver #yota
