A Short Story About My Baby (pictures Included) by MrFinbarr(m): 11:42pm On Apr 07, 2020 |
So, the Lockdown boredom was getting at me and I decided to put down a little story about my baby (2005 Toyota Camry) Bought car on the 19th December, 2017 after due diligence has been done (Checking car history through VIN, Inspection by Professional Mechanic and Test Drive). I fell in love with it. I loved the quiet engine sound and super smooth movement. Oh Yea, It's a V6 Friends tried to talk down on my choice of engine size; "You should have Bought a V4" "V6 consumes much fuel" bla bla bla Nigerians and fuel economy... Smh!!! I left Lagos on Christmas Day (25th Dec. 2017) by 3am and I was in the East before 11am (I drove it myself)... Lol!!! 9 Likes 1 Share

It's been 2years and 4 months already and I have to confess... I never regret getting this car. All I've always done was service as at when due and we are good to go. I service the suspension regularly because I hate to hear any noise on the legs (I live in a rough terrain area). Few major works I've done was changing the Radiator to a double cell and used only Coolant (already diluted). 9 Likes

In September 2018, I swapped out the Rims from 15" to 16" because I wanted a better ground clearance. 13 Likes 2 Shares

Same September 2018, I swapped out the car sterio to a DVD Sterio with Reverse Camera. I can't be driving around with such a boring sterio and be buying music plates up and down (I love music a lot) Lol 12 Likes 1 Share

Over the years, I've made frantic efforts to keep the body as much pristine as possible. I had to order a car waxing liquid which I use to polish the body from time to time. Also is the fuel additive which I also use from time to time (As our fuel here for Naija is really not of great quality) I got a portable car scanner (OBD II) which I use even if there's no check light ON.

Late last year, I decided to do more aesthetic work on it (Lights)... Lol I ordered some which quite gave a great look on the car. You'll never recognize it's a Toyota Camry at night if you see me coming... Lol The yellow lights are the indicator lights (It floats when it lights up) 12 Likes 2 Shares

Interior wasn't left out. The ambience light comes "ON" when any door is opened and gets "OFF" when doors are closed. It came in different colors and can be changed with it's remote control (The green color is my favorite) My reverse lights shines really well and gives a better view at night (if you wanna reverse). I ordered the bulbs too and changed the usual yellow bulb 19 Likes 1 Share

Finally, I recently changed my rims again. The previous design became very rampant in my area and I needed a new look on my wheels as well... Lol 31 Likes 1 Share
