Default Not New, but New Camry!

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to introduce my "new to me" Camry!
She is a 2012 SE V6 with 85K currently, fully loaded, one owner, stored winters, etc.
This Camry is fantastic in everyway! It is really great to back in the saddle again with the Camry.
Confession time! After my '07 Camry CE which was good and reliable but burned oil pretty good, I ended up with and '05 Honda CRV LX (base model). The CRV was a good little SUV could tackle any snow but lacked any refinement or sportiness, It was a reliable, good and boring New England Car.
Then I bought a 2015 Ford Taurus SHO with 90K. This car was fast with twin turbo 3.5 V6 and a beast in the snow with AWD. But, every time I took in to service, (at the dealer because I only wanted genuine Ford techs and parts on such a complicated vehicle) it cost me at least $600 every time. I also knew the SHO would run out of luck and things would break, expensive things, like $3000-7000 things! The clock was ticking and the market was right and I sold her to the local Ford dealership.
I managed to find my '12 SE after some hunting and learned that the V6 and transmission were quite solid, reliable, and still had some get up and go! The pickings were slim up here in New England but I managed to find this one, the only SE V6 in Maine at this time!!
This car is fantastic and I'm really happy! I did pay more than I wanted to but it was the only V6 around and I had to succumb to my requirements.
Anyways, it is good to back in the seat of a Camry and honestly, it feel like home!
