i just bought myself a brand new car, 2005 toyota camry le silver. this is my first car, and i'm paying for it with my salary at 1.9% rate.

i was a little nervous at first because i had to drive it home from the dealer, which was 30 miles away. i was afraid i'd get some scratches on my new car, but it rides so smoothly.

it's nice. :happy:

thanks, all. :)

i also had an interesting experience on the way to the dealership. i took the train up north, and i pulled out some reading material, "essays in existentialism" by sartre, when the dude next to me starts staring at me and my book. then he says, "so you're into philosophy, eh?"

we started talking (well, he did most of the talking) about eastern philosophy, and then he gave me his phone number. i've never been given a phone number by some random guy before, so it was a little strange.

yeah, it's reliable. that was one of the reasons for getting the camry (my dad kept pushing for it. :p).

drthodt, find someone to cosign. you might get a good deal.

i'm lucky, though. i had some good credit, and i just graduated, so i got the low rate and a special college grad rebate.

chconline, do people not usually get a camry for their first car? :D my dad couldn't decide between the honda accord and the toyota camry, but we ended up with the camry. he gave me several thousand for the down payment, and i'm paying the rest.

good luck getting your car, altezza! :)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
