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!!!

As far back as 2017?

Okay we are following. Just do quick . As you no drop drink for us, no waste our time.

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).

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

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

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. Lol

I had to get my glasses Tinted. Man gat to have some privacy... Lol

And Oh, I don't get to wear Blings alone. My Steering wheel gat to have some Blings too... Lol

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)

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

U go suffocate this car o.
Our hands no dey am o

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

So, that's a wrap guys.
Na wettin boredom dey cause.
Hope you enjoy the view.

If you've got questions, advice/suggestions, I'm right here. Let's cure boredom.

Meanwhile, I've got something else on my bucket list. I recently fell in love with the new android sterio.

It's been great. I quite don't know how to calculate the MPG thing, but compared to some V4 I've driven, the fuel economy isn't bad at all.

I order off AliExpress and they deliver to a post office in my area. The prices quite varies, but they are generally not expensive.
