Newcomer with Supercharged Camry Wagon

from Canada.

Nice job with making that already unique wagon into something truly personal.

 

I luv how Canadians say it like we all live 3 blocks from each other

so Wrule...where ya from man??

and thats pretty cool lil Camry...nice sleeper

 

I live in Quebec actually. So pretty FAR away from you.

Thanks, it is a sleeper for sure. No one expects a grocery getter to be boosted ever. In my case its more of a television getter cause i repair TV's as a business and i use my wagon as the main vehicule to carry huge plasma, lcd's and front-projection screens(explains the foam in the pic of my trunk). Try carrying a 65 inch front-projection in a toyota tercel .


Just CAN'T wait for spring to finally arrive here so i can work on my car.

 

Just wondering... has any other wagon ever been made with the kind of rear windows like the camry? Almost all other wagons i've ever seen have the rear windows ending in a \ towards the front of the car
for example



while the camry wagon's rear window actually doesnt go completely to the rear of the car and is formed like a / towards the rear of the car


You gotta love the twin rear wipers though! ALWAYS practical and only the Mini Clubman has twins as far as i know.... (prob. wrong though)

 

Don't know the answer but I will take that green wagon, thank you very much.

 

Not many cars had the rear window trailing edge cut that way. It gives a different look, I agree, but at the expense of visibility. That is one of the things I always have loved about the older wagons; you can see out of them nicely. I remember back when the Camry wagon like that was new, and Ma test drove one. She bought a Volvo 240 wagon instead for that very reason. She didn't like the blind spots. 23 years later, she's still driving Arthur, so I guess she chose the right car for her.

 

Just remembered as i was driving my car why the windows are made like that. My car is equipped with a premium sound system so the reason why the windows end there is that there are tweeters there. They fill up the unused rear end perfectly.

I personally never look backwards when i back up (used to using my mirrors all the time) so the missing portion never was a blind spot for me, but i admit the Camry has a lot of large pillards which may need to get used to in people used to looking backwards.

 

sounds awesome
