Nobody ever asks my neighbor why he drives that Camry.

A guy I know tried to grow a beard. As it turned from fuzz to hair, it was apparent that some people were just not meant to have beards, it was all mottled and missing tufts. Every day I asked him why the hell he didn't just shave off that old squirrel pelt and he would just shrug his shoulders and smile. Then, one day, he came to work clean shaven. I almost didn't recognize him without the brillo pad on his chin. His reason for shaving?
"Yesterday no one asked me to shave"

The e12 shares much of the 2002 suspension design. Its extremely well balanced, still quite easy for an average mechanic to maintain and surprisingly sturdy for a 20 year old car. Upgrades are cheap and plentiful, if you have a board like this to share ideas. But the number one reason for driving has to be that it drives people like you crazy asking why.
