wesley willis really whups the llamas ass
That line about "getting in and experiencing a nostalgia for a time you weren't alive for" hits a bit hard... Driving a '99 ES300 as a 20-year-old... Car's as old as me. It's odd to think about really.
185hp in 1993... that was horsepower then...
This is the only time in automotive history where station wagons are considered cool wow that's like saying minivans or the pontiac aztec is cool or nice looking ugly garbage
I didn't know anyone else had an obsession with listening to old music around time period of car. Sounds too good and nostalgic.
This car si very ugly
Love the Carol and Tuesday song parody at the end :D
i was born in 2001 and not much has changed in regards to marching band! except for me it was a 2004 hyundai santa fe.
Everything you say about marching band resonated with me, I was also in marching band (played tenors, and was drum major for my senior year), and it brings back great memories, my friend had the regular 93 Camry and we left school about 3:10-15, and we drove around, we stopped at a local ice cream shop, we got a discount for showing our school IDs and it was an amazing time, we practice from 5:45 till 6:15, go up to the school, get ready, I still remember the cadence off my head, striking the band, and playing through the songs, our fight song when we got a touchdown
I had one I miss it
What kind of fucked up childhood did you have?
@6:40 news flash Cars rust when they're near the ocean, the salty air from the ocean eats away at all of the metal that cars are made of, maybe not quite as fast as salted roads
I lived the marching band story nearly to a tee and you unlocked a deeply stored memory with that. No better feeling. Thank you.
Wish I could post the photo I took yesterday of two 1996 Toyota Camry V6 wagons together. One is the one I purchased 5 years ago with 42,000 miles on it, now it has 77,000 miles. And my daughters that I gave her about 3 years ago. The one I have now is pristine and it is my 8th Camry wagon. I was always on the look for one that was in better condition than the one that I was driving and wouldn't hesitate to buy it if I found one. Thanks for the awesome review!
I just have a regular XLE sedan. Same year And I was in marching band. The end basically described my own freshman year. The best first video to a new channel
Review a Honda Civic si 2006- 2011 stock or modded
DAYTONA USA!!!!!!!!
Holy shit, was everyone's marching band experience the exact same? What you described happened word for word to me freshman and sophomore year of HS marching band.
I was born on 2004 and I wish I was born in 1988. This generation sucks balls.
That big booty has it's origins in Australia, which like the US, Canada, South Africa, Europe and New Zealand, took the wide body Camry. There was a four banger called Camry and a V6 called Vienta. This was exported to South East Asia and back to Japan, as the Toyota Scepter.
Much better than those modern suv’s
Just brought my toyota to the garage for a check and maintenance. Still nothing going on after 192.000 km still nothing broke down never had high costs . Best car in the world
I've got this same wagon, except it's 1994. I love my shaggy waggy!
Go ahead...mash the gas. I said Punch it Margret!
Is it immoral to try to bang a chick with multiple personality disorder? You can cheat on her with...herself!
didnt even realize thise were lexus wheels holy shit
Gave the up doot. I play Star Citizen.... lol
It's like it was designed by Pixar.
I want one so bad.
7:45 GAYYYTOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAA 8:45 HAHA! Pareidolia on cars!
Toyota presents the Dump Truck Wagon
I had a 96 camry sedan. Freaking awesome car. I put 130,000 miles on that thing in 5 years and it finally kicked the bucket at 470k. Super comfy ride. Very bland, and basic, but I'd buy another one in a heartbeat
I’m 19 and I’ve had 15 cars, beat that
Oh My Gosh I remember those Band Fridays... A friend drove an '89 Jetta sedan and it had a big-ass trunk, it was so big that two kids could fit in. Many flute heads snake its way up the skirt in the dark big ass Jetta trunk.
Senior year, 1993, my friend's old Pontiac. GM B body with a bench front seat, seatbelts for 6, room for 8+. The memory is freedom and the sense of self determination. Good memories Mr. Regular, thanks.
I have a 1992 LE V6, dark green with the occasional rust spot. Amniotic fluid on the passenger seat. Drove great until it lost transmission fluid in the winter and shat itself. RIP
"Safe" in CA? LOLzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Neighbors had one of those in the 90s and into the 2000s - we actually moved before they traded it. Wouldn't be surprised if it were still ticking. Their teenagers didn't show it much mercy when they started driving but it didn't miss a beat. This car is about as 90s as it gets.
Nice job with that depiction of high school. I recently graduated and while i wasn’t quite a band kid, the experience was almost the same. The cars of the 2000s kept that feeling alive, with all that mediocre-yet-okay feeling. What the next few years will hold-I don’t know, but up until COVID afaik, that high school feeling of freedom through a car never went away.
Sadly a lot of third gen camries are heading to the junkyard now, and *many* of the short-lived (only 2 years of production!) 3VZ camries had their engines pilfered to swap into the second gen MR2, as engine and trans were virtually drop in replacements, and the 3VZ responded a lot more to tuning, pretty much the V6 2JZ. The wagon is a particularly rare breed as wh*te w*men were falling out of love with wagons and falling in love with bigger, more dangerous, government subsidized SUVs and minivans, which offered "more car" for the price thanks to intense lobbying from both domestic automakers and saudi oil producers.
You got a little sappy around 7:00 but I still want to marry you and drive around pointing at pos cars and making up stories about the ppl who drive them 🥰🥰🥰 but oh I saw your review of nissan 300zx twin turbo ....was pretty scathing.. you might not take kindly to me having one...DONT WORRY , I'm "rebuilding " it 🤣🤣😫
Im a Camry (toyota) connoisseur and you were spot on about this model toyota wagon. Great review!
My grandparents had a red Camry wagon. I was four and I still remember how it felt so huge. They had it til 2005 I believe with never a single issue.
Dope show, I know exactly what you we’re talking about, had that same fun free time back in high school....
Great review! I thought i was the only guy to place a bunch of teenagers in my father's station wagon on late 90s. Mine's was a 1990 Mitsubishi Lancer Station Wagon. Definitely on fridays Burger King was the place to eat after high school. Im from Guayaquil , Ecuador . Regards.
That marching band story took me back. My freshman year in high school was 2006, and the same shit happened, in the same sort of cars. The only real difference is that our spot was McDonald's because the Burger King was well within the territory of another local high school. That, and instead of quoting Waynes World, we were probably quoting Napoleon Dynamite
Give it a couple years and folks like me who think vans are cool will have some company again. We've seen the rise of wagons again, so I guess the next step is the rise of the minivan?
Some jackwagon- "I dont keep it nice for the next owner" OH SHUT UP, you drive a beat to shit e36 4 door with cracked mirrors and 73 lights on in the dash, cool your jets rich boy, some people actually have gems that shouldnt be messed with.
Has to be one of his best videos!
legit the best looking camry generation and the toughest there are 2200cc camrys with 500000 miles in junk yards that will start with a boost and except for the leaky fles exhaust pipe they purr without a single tick or knock
Same engine available paired with 5MT for about 30secs in the 1st ES300 and compared by C/D against the Maxima “4 door sports car” for about 90 seconds none of which a lot of sense since they were also comparing the Maxima vs SHO, a car with an actual engine we’d go into real debt for.
i was in band from 2011 to 2014 but i lived all these memories, theres something different, youthful even in those old toyotas
noice car
Born in 9 Trizzle’, MK III Supra and Introduction of the Wu Tang Clan.
Is the Honda Fit a wagon? Discuss.
I am currently in that time of going in cars without adults, had that recently, except replace the old wagons with late 90s/ early 2000s hatchbacks (I live in the UK). I currently own a 2002 Suzuki Wagon R, absolutely love the thing for bits.
10W30 on the oil filler cap. Yup truck motor go BRRRRR.
You’re so right about 93 being the last year of dependable goodness. So right.
RIP Wessly willis. Rock over London, rock over Chicago
My mom has one with a 4 cylinder
goddamn the last part gave me goosebumps
I’m 21 and I’m on my 10th car
I literally do the same thing
Late 1990s educators car? Strange that I know two educators who swear by them. I owned a ‘95 SE Coupe, it was a little powerhouse with the V6. If I hadn’t sold it in 2002, I’d still be driving it. In the 7 years I owned it, I only replaced the oil and a dome lamp. They’re indestructible.
May not be same generation as him or have the same life experiences, but Mr. Regular’s humour, sense of nostalgia, and weirdness really resonate with me. One of my favourite channels of all time.
This was a f@&$ing incredible review!
Dude, mr.Regular was a freshman in high school the year I was born. He’d be at least 14 years older than me. I’m actually having trouble processing this information.
"Teenager morally compromised by his own jaw-line" is fucking brilliant, holy shit.
Late night viewers want to know: what was your instrument?
This car will be a mom in the next Pixar's Cars movie.
Straight up Pixar mom dump truck ass 🤩
"Like IPAs taste like angry produce." I'm literally dying from laughter. Noice!
I’m not crying about jamming everyone into a car to go to Kurger Bing after school
You can all find these badged as Holdens with the GM/Toyota partnership that existed back then. True story. Rare as hell to find though. I'm not Aussie btw.
I want this thing
Blacked out with bigger wheels and a lift and this would be a menace.
My dad had one of these, 1993 Camry Wagon with the 4-cylinder. The car I drove with my learner's permit. He put like 300,000+ miles on it, and it was still running fine when he sold it. With that long bed, it hauled cargo better than the SUV I got later. I always liked it, despite its modest and quirky looks, though I never really understood the design rationale behind that weird flared D-pillar shape.
I'm the same way as this owner, I'm 23 and on my 23rd vehicle
The comment about feeling a nostalgia for a time before you, really hit me. I happened upon a 1995 Toyota Corolla, dirt cheap, destined for the scrap yard due to the previous owner's negligence. I don't know it's story, I don't know what it's been through; but somehow that little car captivated me. When I went to look at it, it hit me that the car didn't deserve to be sent to the scrapyard. Nothing was wrong with it. Just 180k miles on the odometer, and everything covered in a thick layer of dust and spilt soda. After detailing it and catching up most of the maintenance, it's a fine little car; and in a weird way it's changed my taste in cars dramatically. Where last summer I'd dream of FD RX-7s and rotary powered pickups, I now dream of 90s Camrys and aspire to import a boring right hand drive Toyota. Having bought my second 1995 model year Toyota, my 83 RX-7 looks a little out of place. Yet despite my dreams moving from turbo rotaries and sports cars to boring Toyotas of the 90s; there's something special about the little FB that makes me feel at home. Nostalgia is a very powerful feeling. Looking back on memories from high school, I want to buy a second gen Toyota Sienna. Our family traded in our old Kia Sedona for one in late 2008, shortly after my dad traded in his 73k mile Hyundai Sonata that had blown valves and low compression for a brand new shiny Prius. That Prius I know proudly own as my daily driver. The Sienna went away in mid 2017 when my parents decided to trade it in for a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Looking back on it, I miss that Sienna, and I will buy one to make the Prius feel a little less lonely.
I do the same thing as him ... I'm 22 and have had 57 cars ... Send help
rare, those were the last days of the wagon before the suv's took over.
I think it is a very attractive car and with a little attention to details it could look incredible. I've had so many cars I think if I tried to make a list of them I'd forget a couple of them.
Fun fact it was designed by the same Japanese guy who was responsible for the first generation Viper
Camry Wagon, the automotive equivalent of Pixar Mom.
Do the 10tg gen civic
Man I wish they still made cars like this. Imagine a modern version of one of these. We got one with the golf sportwagen, even if that was a little wider then this camry is, but that was taken away from us, and we never got a proper hot version. Why cant we have focus and golf and corolla and forte wagons?
Wagons were always n in dc
Nice "Corolla" wagon lol. Also, I've still got my aw11 ;) and that Honda city turbo you need to come and take for a drive :)
I do love me some station wagons. That felling of freedom described at then end was also found in a 74 SAAB 99 LE in 1983. I don't think that todays kids get to feel that same rush in an old Honda Odyssey or Ford Taurus, but my memories are soured by presentism. Us old folks only think that we are different form the youth of today, Too bad that the Burger King of today is not what it was was back in the day. And that ain't no presentism.
As a lover of wagons I am here, I love wagons.
So no ones gonna talk about the man with baby yoda in his jacket? 4:40
A 21 year old has that many cars? Damn... What's his insurance like? Cause in Ontario, your insurance premiums only START to go down when you hit 25, plus you have to pay a lot for actually interesting cars. A friend of my cousin has a JDM RHD car (I didn't ask what kind it is) and they're paying over $10,000 a year in insurance. Some insurers quote RHD cars at $5k a year even for a driver with 10 years of clean driving, being a car enthusiast in Ontario is really hard and expensive.
My equivalent was a 2001 Tahoe. I love my 335i but god damn sitting in an old Tahoe takes me back.
The timing of the adbreak was great
WOW... I got my license in 1990, and I haven't had that many cars! TBH, I actually kinda dig wagons. I've owned an '85 Tercel wagon (NOT the 4x4!) and a 2000 Nissan Quest that I retired in 2018. I would probably rock this car!
If you wanna see a wagon with an booty, check out a 2003 Mercedes C320 wagon...

Truly, one of the greatest poets of our era. I will keep leaving this comment.
