No. My husband drives an old shitbox of a Camry. It was totalled in 2008. My husband "knew a guy" who restored it on the cheap. It has over 250K miles and patches of different color paint, plus a couple of patches of rust, with the floor showing signs of giving way in places, and the windows are all tetchy about rolling all the way up. But, the engine works a treat – you just cannot kill a Toyota engine.

My car was given over to our son. It is a 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid.

My neighbor across the street has a massive Dodge extended cab, big six-wheeled pick-up with a workman's paneled trailer hitched to it. He also has an open trailer on which he hauls Cats. There are actually several similarly huge pickups in my subdivision. In our subdivision and the neighborhood beyond, there a few workman's panel vans, with ladders and interesting tool-ish kinds of things arranged along the sides and over the tops. There's a farm field right across the street from our subdivision, where you will see all manner of heavy equipment on the regular.
