Portland, in one photo.

I learned to drive in an 84 Tercel HB, worst clutch ever, I despised that car. Took a beating though.

[u/flamingknifepenis → u/wildone1325]

Not sure if the Tercel had the same clutch as the Camry, but mine actually had this weird little dampening bit in the linkage that intentionally made it “squishier.”

It eventually broke, and I just replaced it with solid linkage. It was a lot better in terms of feel, but the engine had so much torque that trying to get it moving without wheel spin if it was at all wet out and / or uphill became a real challenge.

Boy could those things take a beating, though.

[u/TheDunkirkSpirit]

Almost. That car has all of its windows.

[u/mightyatom13 → u/TheDunkirkSpirit]

And a license plate.

[u/downer3498 → u/TheDunkirkSpirit]

It’s missing a Subaru badge.

[u/Lovewell123 → u/TheDunkirkSpirit]

Hahahah, touché touché

[u/presidioPDX]

Beautiful!

[u/Lovewell123 → u/presidioPDX]

Thanks! I was on a long walk and had to stop in my tracks when I saw this scene

[u/1Crownedngroovd]

What kind of tree is that?

[u/RabuMa → u/1Crownedngroovd]

Camellia

[u/1Crownedngroovd → u/RabuMa]

Thanks, I thought camellias were shrubs. Beautiful!

[u/Scroatpig → u/1Crownedngroovd]

They are pretty shrubby. This one is big. I dislike them because they drop those brown blooms. And they just look like... I don't know? Grandma trees or something? Definitely probably an unpopular opinion.

[u/1Crownedngroovd → u/Scroatpig]

Unfortunately, most trees that blossom, leave a huge mess. Even cherry blossoms and magnolias, two of my favorites, are a pain in the ass to clean up after they drop.

[u/erossthescienceboss → u/1Crownedngroovd]

Magnolias especially. Cherry blossoms and (gag)Bradford’s pear petals usually disperse nicely on a breeze. Magnolias’ll sit there and coat your entire lawn in slick, heavy brown petals — enough to choke it out.

Totally worth it though.

[u/WhistlingWishes → u/erossthescienceboss]

The smell of magnolias is worth nearly any hassle, imo.

[u/erossthescienceboss → u/WhistlingWishes]

Oh absolutely. They’re my favorite spring flowering tree

[u/CartographerKey7322 → u/Scroatpig]

User name says it all

[u/HeyheythereMidge → u/CartographerKey7322]

Yes! Fyi your displeasure for cleaning up blossoms is SEXIST! And also contributing to a nation of people developing severe tree allergies! I’m being sort of sarcastic, but people plant way more male trees than female trees because of the mess (oh no, is your completely optional ornamental garden too much work🥴) and now male trees have to release their pollen harder, giving us all hay fever.

[u/pdx_via_dtw → u/Scroatpig]

I loathe these and the rhodi ugh the mess

[u/CartographerKey7322 → u/pdx_via_dtw]

Philistine

[u/No-Document-932 → u/Scroatpig]

I despise these heinous plants

[u/davekmv]

That’s not wrong.

[u/Dap4Fun1738]

Can't park there

[u/romanista10]

I’m thinking of getting Tercel

[u/megantron518 → u/romanista10]

Yeah, that's a Toyota...

[u/romanista10 → u/megantron518]

Haha yes

[u/figgytart]

It's missing a zillion bumper stickers

[u/Lovewell123 → u/figgytart]

Just give them some time; they’ll get it right! 😝

[u/dead-melody666]

fuck i wanna live here so bad

[u/Good_Queen_Dudley]

Nah car still has its license plate and the bumper is still on, no garbage bag back window either. But it is a shitty tercel!

[u/Scroatpig → u/Good_Queen_Dudley]

Shitty? That car is fucking bullet proof, it's older than many of the people on Reddit. And probably still runs. It's one of the better cars ever made, for what it is.

[u/Good_Queen_Dudley → u/Scroatpig]

Still a shitty car but take it personally, I don't care!

[u/Chococatant165 → u/Good_Queen_Dudley]

No bird poo...

[u/squintyshrew9]

Where are the strippers ?
