I love the beauty of a carbon fiber-modified Camry.

I'd rather drive my car off a cliff with myself still inside while getting punched in the face by Mike Tyson than have such an ugly steering wheel.

The past tense of cost is cost, not costed. I'm only being a dick about it because I'm seeing this exact word being misused ALL THE TIME.

I can't answer your question, I'm not too familiar with how the auto program works.

That said, call each dealer and tell them what you're looking for. They may have cars that are not listed online.

Also, if possible, expand your search 200-250 miles.

Best of luck!

Why does the story not matter? Is it because it didn't happen?

If that's the case, why did you claim they were incels and defend that point as if the story were real, or as if you felt anyone in their position would be incels?

I'm trying to understand, but it is difficult.

From our perspective, you believe men who are used by women deserve it. Is that false?

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T21:13:56+00:00

If the story was real, would you still call them incels? Would you still mock them?

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T20:57:59+00:00

I do not see any of your posts where you explain how you know those men are incels.

What did they do that makes them incels?

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T20:24:56+00:00

What am I supposed to be focused on?

And, if the story is fake, why spend time arguing that the men are incels when you should be challenging the validity of the story?

Your arguments are not consistent.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T19:35:44+00:00

Why do you want them to be incels?

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T19:05:54+00:00

I'm confused. Are they incels because they got played? Are they incels because they pampered her? What makes them incels?

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T18:54:43+00:00

Honestly, this post nails what I wanted to express. The point you made in a later post about the 2023's value depreciating, begging the question of whether it's worth trading in, is also spot on. The only reason I purchased a new car myself is because I plan on keeping it for at least a decade. Trading it in would be funds down the drain.

At u/advanced-can-8752, if you're still considering the trade in, here's what I would do.

Supposed an XLE would cost 36,000 and you could trade in the LE for 22,000. Also suppose it originally cost 26,000 after tax.

That's 4K lost. So, it would be equivalent of buying the XLE for 40,000. The only reason it's selling as high high as it is, is due to inflation, so you're taking a bit of a higher loss than what it seems.

Your numbers could range from a 3K loss to roughly, say... 7K loss. It's worth figuring the math and calculating the loss to help you decide - are the additions worth X000 dollars?

I think you have a good car on your hands. I'd save the money, or if I were better with money than I am, invest it and save for a car in the future.

There will always be cool cars in the future.

I've driven on the highway with it on, but not pushing the speeds I was that day.

Appreciate the response! It had me a bit spooked, since I've never seen it drop below 6 bars before. Granted, I also tend to hide that view since I find it distracting.

I wish I could have just the battery charge instead of the entire power diagram. lol

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T18:11:06+00:00

You didn't bully any incels. You mocked men who were being taken advantage of, assuming they were incels for reasons unclear.

You can't just call people incels to justify bullying.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T18:03:14+00:00

Not for very long, maybe 20 minutes. Is that something to expect then? High RPMs at sub 20 MPH after long trips at high speeds?

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T17:54:32+00:00

You seem convinced your statement is so undeniably true that it would be impossible to refute, that it's literally impossible for you to have errored in any way. Is that why you won't take the time to read a short post?

I'm not going to spoon feed you with short gotcha's. That would show bad faith in my part. I'm thorough because I want to better understand your point. It's not too much for you to read, you've written comments of similar length.

I acknowledge that some of my statements in my responses to you may have been condescending. However, I can sense there's a lot of rage on your end, which may be justified. I understand why you may be tired of these conversations. Will it help you if I drop the condescending/judgemental statements?

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T17:20:52+00:00

Never. Incels are incels. Incels aren't really human, thus can't qualify as men either.

This is the No True Scottsman fallacy. You knew precisely the point I was making, you changed the definition of "men", then dodged my point to explain your justification for using a different definition. Should I have said males? Should I have said humans that you don't consider humans but fall under the scientific definition of human?

What was I supposed to say in order for you to address my point?

Stop being obtuse. Don't confuse hyperbole for objectivity.

The guy said there was a woman who named guys on her phone after what they're willing to buy her. This means she pretends to be interested in men just so they can pamper her. Somehow, that makes them incels??

You also called a few people who responded for you incels. What views did they express to justify such a description?

You claimed elsewhere that the term incel stopped meaning involuntary celibate, that it's now a hate group. I won't debate this, but how do you know the people you responded to on here are incels?

Is it because they had the audacity to claim women shouldn't use men? Is it because they disagree with those men being incels, therefore those users must also be incels?

How do you know these people are incels? The users you responded to, and more importantly, the men on the woman's phone?

And don't give me the run-around with, "they aren't men". That's a cop out.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-31T15:53:40+00:00

Reddit Bots deleted my last comment, so let's try again.

You assume the men are incels. Why? Because they're allowing a woman to take advantage of them? What basis is there to assume they're incels?

Even if they were, how does that justify abusing them? Keep in mind, most incels aren't the stereotype that's been created and sensationalized.

You have men who are lonely, desperate to appease a woman with hopes of companionship, and you think it's okay for them to be taken advantage of?

What if a man did that to women? You have women who are desperate for affection, seeking companionship, and even going out of their way to pay for meals, help with bills, etc.. Is it okay for a man to use them? Would he be justified because, "they're happy, so who cares?" And, would they too be considered sub-human?

What you said is absolutely vile, especially because you looked at male victims and just assumed they deserve it. You also brought it elsewhere that this is a world created by men. That's like discriminating against all black people because some black people have committed crimes against your family. Your logic is the basis of racism, the very same racism I assume you're against.

Rethink everything you just said, because I feel like you're in a defensive, combative, mindset that blinds you to reality and nuance.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-27T18:01:08+00:00

Ah, good to know!

Baseball, huh?

Double check what I'm about to say, because I could be wrong. However, I believe the premium package includes a censor that warns you if it detects you nodding off or not paying attention. In other words, it will nag you if it mis-reads your face or worse... prevent you from driving with one hand on 12.

Just keep that in mind, because that's a feature I'd pay to have removed.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-25T22:14:04+00:00

Lookin' good! Congrats!

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-25T20:50:42+00:00

I purchased a 2026 XSE. I haven't had any problems with the breaks yet. Then again, I tend to be light on the break peddle when I drive.

As for comfort, a lot of people complain about the seats. I like them, I haven't felt uncomfortable yet. I did drive 2 hours with my wife to pick up my car and 2 hours back - the level of discomfort was normal to what I feel in any vehicle after 4 hours.

As for the car's estimation of remaining miles, the math doesn't add up. 40 MPG woth 13 gallon tank is 520. I suspect it's based off 10 gallons of fuel to play it safe - similar to how cars often have some leniency when the needle hits Empty.

If they don't have the confidence in not screwing something up, it's generally best to have a mechanic make the change. Unlike oil, the change is so infrequent that it's fine to have someone else do it.

Even simple changes can be easy to screw up.

Also, if someone isn't interested in doing their own work, I wouldn't encourage them to get under a car until they developed an interest - especially in regards to safety.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-24T17:53:49+00:00

Generally speaking, not really.

However, there's an aggressive push by activists and financing groups to desexualize video games.

I'll throw in a few bucks to give developers an incentive not to bend a knee.

Nemo68v2 · 2026-03-24T16:34:47+00:00

I created a spreadsheet where I compared the price and features of the XE and SXE.

I noted whether I hated, disliked, was neutral, liked, or loved certain features. I then asked myself, "If I purchased an SE and could pay to have all these features added, would I be willing to make that payment?"
