#2024 Toyota Camry Changes

Day 5: Tuesday 24th September, 2024 [Rotorua]

Breakfast: Brownie & a latte Lunch: Another bloody buffet! Dinner: Pizza

Today is Amara’s birthday and I had taken charge of booking all of our activities for the day. We headed off at 10am to the Polynesian Spa for a morning soak. I’d booked the adults only section and was grateful. The whole place stunk of eggs (sulphur) but the views were lovely and the 40 degree pools were delightful. We spent about an hour in the pools, trying them all, and even filming a silly synchronized swimming routine. We then headed back to the house for a quick shower and outfit change for the rest of the day. 

We drove to Skyline Rotorua to ride the gondolas up to the Stratosfare restaurant that overlooked the city. Upon arrival at the restaurant, we realised it was a buffet! We all got the giggles as we realised it was our third consecutive buffet meal. Yet again, everyone but me devoured their share of seafood and I stuck to a tasty roast and then some beef, rice and kimchi. We ordered a bottle of rose for the table from the local winery and it was delicious! I’d booked a winery tasting at the Volcanic Hills winery on the top level, so we were excited to try more and purchase a bottle. Before the end of our meal, the staff brought over a dessert and card for Amara’s birthday, which was lovely. 

After lunch we headed to our wine tasting. The manager of Volcanic Hills was a guy named Brent and he was loose. He was very enamoured with the fact that were were Austraian and made lots of Kath and Kim references whilst talking to us. He was also very intrigued by us being Drama teachers and asked us many questions about the conference that we were going to in Wellington. The wines we tried were very tasty - Amara liked the room temp chardonnay and Tim like the Syrah but we all agreed that the rose was still our favourite. We bought 2 bottles to take home.

Fun facts about New Zealand from Brent:

All petrol in New Zealand is imported which is what makes it so expensive (currently 2.35p/L)

Cars are also imported and cheaper - he said a second hand Toyota Camry was around $4k.

There are no pubs in New Zealand, like the ones we have in Australia. The drinking culture is to invite people to your home and host them there. This blew Tim’s mind, but I quite liked the idea of it. I always prefer hosting people than going out for overpriced food and drinks. 

Outside, Tim, Amara and Jane decided to go luging. I’d been in 2016 when I was in Queenstown and decided to go for a walk instead. I walked through the cherry blossom trees and took a few photos of the city, which was very photogenic. They had a great time and all came back beaming.

We left at 5pm and drove over to the Redwood Forest. Jane said it was disappointing that it was man made, in that the trees were not native to New Zealand. I didn’t mind though as I think Redwoods are stunning. Tim had booked us tickets to the evening treetop walk and we were an hour early, so we went for a walk through the forest instead. We walked around 3km and as it got darker, everyone started stressing about not being able to find our way back. Tim seemed confident in his sense of direction, but Amara then used Maps to figure out where to go. We made it back safely with out 10 minutes until our booking, so we lined up and waited.

I was originally excited to go on the walk and see of the light installations, but as soon as we stepped onto the first suspension bridge, I became very anxious and wasn’t having fun being up high on a wobbly bridge. I had no choice but to continue, but Tim was walking with lots of bounce in his step, which was making it worse! Jane was nice and checked in on me, but after a while I just hung back so I could walk the bridges by myself. At one point there was an option to go higher and I let the others go ahead and just walked as quickly as possible through the rest of the path until I was back on the ground. We’d booked the right time as when I got back to the bottom there was a ginormous queue with lots of families and a school group. No thank you!

Back in the car I ordered pizza for dinner using UberEATS and it arrived shortly after we got home. We ordered from Pizza Peddler and it was outstanding. We had a classic BBQ Meatlovers and a Camembert, chicken and bacon pizza. We ate these while watching the second Hobbit movie, which I didn’t really pay much attention to as I was writing this blog.

Off to Napier tomorrow! A town that Jane is excited to visit for its landscape and Art Deco history.

prompt 4, lee jeno, streetracer au

prompt: “Everyone told me I’m crazy picking up a boy that drives a Camry.”

extra: streetracer au

note: suggestive (mild mentions of sex), jeno + cars which might be emotionally overwhelming for y’all because PHEW is it overwhelming for me omfg, this one’s a little long for a drabble but overall it isn’t super long (it’s like... 1.4k?)... i lowkey wanna write a racer jeno fic but idk lmk if that’s something the people want lmfao

july 5th, 2020.

it’s the first race of his you’ve ever seen.

you’ve memorized the course, a consequence of hours spent staring at the map until it’s been imprinted beneath your eyelids. the route ends where it starts, and the rest of the roads will be closed off - you’re sure renjun, one of the officiants, has bribed the city’s construction sector to ensure this - so no bystanders are hurt, but you don’t particularly care about unlucky pedestrians or drivers that could be potential collateral damage. still, it’s on the outskirts of the city, so there wasn’t as much risk as there could’ve been to start with.

it sounds bad when you think of it, but you can’t bring yourself to be repentant of what you worry about and what you don’t. after all, your focus is exactly where it should be:

jeno lee.

your boyfriend hasn’t been shy in letting you know about his pastimes: he’d told you about his penchant for speeding through the city in his toyota camry after the fifth date, had murmured it into the skin of your bare shoulder as his fingers skimmed your bare waist. it was the first night you’d stayed over, waking up to the sunrise, coffee, and round two. his apartment was - is - tiny compared to yours, a studio apartment just big enough to live in versus your penthouse suite uptown. still, from that night on, his place feels more like home than yours ever will.

you hadn’t really talked about how worried you are for him then, instead allowing him to give and take to and from you as he pleased. you still haven’t talked about how worried you are for him, although instead of being in his bed at 2 am you’re on the sidelines of one of his street races, 2 way radio in one hand and phone open to a police scanner app in the other.

it’s insane, you think to yourself, that you’re an active participant in a highly illegal race. if any of your friends - who all believe jeno to be a terrible influence, in his tattooed glory and always shrouded in cigarette smoke - could see you now, they might have simultaneous aneurysms. they’re all far too enveloped in the socialite life you’re trying desperately to shed.

none of that matters to you now, though - what matters is the cars you can see emerging from a turn far, far off in the distance. there’s only two - a bright red civic and a sleek black camry, the latter carrying your boyfriend and his best friend jaemin - and they’re neck and neck, tire to tire. it’s a short race, a quick couple of loops around the track that’s been laid out for the night. there’s prize money, yes, but it’s only a couple hundred bucks - if jeno wins, he’ll put his half towards paying his rent.

you watch with bated breath as the cars get closer and closer, your eyes trained on their front bumpers. renjun makes his way to the center of the starting line, his faith in the two drivers astounding you as he waits patiently for them to near him. mark jogs across to set up a slow motion camera on the other side, and, on your right, jisung sets one up as well. renjun stands still, gaze piercing the night as he stares straight ahead. before anyone can process the end of the race, both cars race past. your hair flies up from the wind generated by the cars’ speeds, and you hear the distinct sounds of two sets of brakes squealing as both cars finally, finally come to a rest.

you hold your breath as mark and jisung analyze their films. donghyuck pushes open the drivers’ door of the civic, with chenle walking out of the passengers’ side. jaemin leaves the camry first, and jeno follows, running his hands through his hair as he gets out. you’re too focused on mark and jisung to notice your boyfriend until his cologne engulfs you, just moments before he pulls you into his side by your waist.

“how was your first race?” he whispers, lips right by your ear as he leans towards you. you relax against his hold as you mumble a ‘good’, and he presses his lips to your hairline as the two of you wait. yes, winning the race is, at most, rent money and a mild sense of pride, but jeno’s arms are tense around you.

he loves cars, and he loves racing them for enjoyment, yes, but you know that he’d rather be racing them to win and only to win. his dreams are lofty, but if he can win another streetrace, who’s to say he can’t keep winning his way up until he’s good enough for the big leagues? he’s beaten every racer in the city except for donghyuck, and whoever wins this race will hold the unofficial title of truly being the best of the best.

tonight has been jeno’s toughest race to date. he wants to live off the adrenaline just a little longer... that, and rent is due next week.

after eons, mark raises his head.

“i’ve got jeno,” he calls out, and jeno’s arms pull even tighter around you as he awaits the final verdict.

“so do i.” jisung responds, only just loudly enough to be heard by everyone. without meaning to, you let out a laugh of pure, unadulterated joy, and jeno spins you around to hug you properly. you hear donghyuck and chenle congratulate him, feel jeno get handed $100 by renjun while the other $100 goes to jaemin. you’re basking in your pride, face against jeno’s jacket.

it’s the first victory of his that you witness, but it certainly isn’t the last.

♕ ♕ ♕

september 12th, 2024.

“you know,” you start, words coming out in a satiated sigh as you shift to lay on your side. the silk sheets of the hotel suite’s bed tangle between your legs as you begin to trace random patterns on jeno’s skin.

“hm?” your fiancé prompts, smiling down gently at you as you lay your hand flat on his chest.

“way back when, everyone - all of my ‘friends’ - told me that i was crazy for picking up a boy who rode around in a camry and, quote unquote, looked like trouble. i wonder if they’re watching you now.” you glance up to meet his gaze, and the corner of his eyes crinkle as he lets out a quiet chuckle.

“don’t know if i ever stopped looking like trouble, to be honest, even if i don’t drive my camry anymore. haven’t changed much in these past four years.” jeno’s voice is husky at this time of night, just a little gravelly and soft enough to where you strain a little to listen. he never fails to make your heart do somersaults, even after five years of knowing him.

“you literally just won the italian grand prix, and you say you haven’t changed much?” your tone is still soft, though not without an edge of incredulity. jeno traces a finger down your naked side, moving so he’s pillowing his head with his forearm, all just to see you properly.

“i’m still the same guy, just with money and a better job. my morals are the same, fundamentals are the same - my love for you, what defines me, it’s still the same. just because i’ve got a couple of pro racing trophies under my belt -”

“- eight -” you interrupt, brow furrowed at jeno short-selling himself. he sees this, raising his hand to tease against your scalp.

“- under my belt,” he continues. “it doesn’t mean anything truly important has changed.”

“... i guess.” you finally acquiesce, and jeno fondly tugs you close so that you’re lying on top of him. the new position has something stirring in his chest, and he brings his hand up to your face, cupping your jaw before pulling you gently towards him.

“wanna know what i’m putting my prize money towards?” he asks, words sounding harder than they should. you squirm slightly, still just a little fucked out from earlier, but jeno’s always had a way of making you want more.

“what?” you ask, shifting so you’re straddling him. he lets you plant your hands on his chest before he responds, the beginning of a smirk evident against his plush lips.

“our honeymoon,” he whispers, leaning up so his lips are brushing yours. “wanna put all that cash towards a room with enough surfaces for me to bend you over to last us a whole week.”

jeno closes the space between the two of you with a bruising kiss, and you find that he’s right - nothing really has changed in the past four years. he still fits you perfectly, body made for your own.

some things never change at all.

2024 Toyota Camry Interior, Colors, Release Date

2024 Toyota Camry Interior, Colors, Release Date – Toyota Camry was launched because of the compact car in the year 1982. However, as time passed on, it had been remodeled so that as we articulate, we also have a middle of the the-sizing vehicle. Rumors get it that this 2024 Toyota Camrywill have the most magnificent redesign from the model’s record. In the beginning, there are testimonies how…

The Unforeseen Dangers of a Device That Curbs Drunken Driving

Over the past decade, states have increasingly turned to a powerful tool to stop drunken driving before it starts: miniature breathalyzers, wired into a car’s electronics, that prevent the engine from starting unless the person behind the wheel is sober enough to drive.These devices, called ignition interlocks, have been remarkably effective. One study found that states mandating them for all drunken driving offenders had 15 percent fewer fatalities from alcohol-related car accidents.But while interlocks have prevented thousands of crashes, they have also caused them. In November 2017, Alexis Butler was backing out of a driveway in Arlington, Tex., when a speeding pickup slammed into her Toyota Camry. The driver, Blake Cowan, had been arrested twice the previous year for drunken driving, but he was sober at the time of the crash, according to police records.To start his truck, Mr. Cowan had to prove his sobriety by blowing into an interlock device — a machine the size of a cellphone, wired to the car’s steering column. But to keep driving, he had to provide additional breath samples to show he hadn’t been drinking on the road.Those checks, known in the industry as rolling retests, occur at random. They require the driver to lift a hand off the wheel, pick up the device and blow — hard — into its mouthpiece for several seconds. If the driver fails or doesn’t comply, the car goes into panic mode: its headlights flash and its horn honks until the driver turns off the engine.Mr. Cowan had just passed a test, but dropped his interlock on the floor. Wanting it in easy reach for his next one, he distractedly fumbled for it, he told a police detective — and hit Ms. Butler’s car. She died a week later. Nearly 350,000 people in the United States have interlocks, according to the latest estimate in an annual industry report, up from 133,000 a decade earlier. Thirty-four states — including, this month, New Jersey — require people with drunken-driving convictions to install the devices. That number will no doubt grow; other states are considering similar laws. Two United States senators are pushing legislation that would require all new cars to include a version of the technology by 2024.But the devices’ potential to divert motorists’ attention has drawn little scrutiny, even as states clamp down on other forms of distracted driving, like texting behind the wheel or putting a phone to your ear.A review by The New York Times of accident reports and lawsuits turned up dozens of examples of collisions in which the devices played a role. A Pennsylvania driver trying to complete a test blew so hard that he blacked out and crashed into a tree, nearly severing his left hand. Another in rural New Hampshire struck a telephone pole. And in California, a man attempting a rolling retest on a busy highway crossed the dividing line and hit another car, badly injuring a woman and killing her husband.

A Lucrative, Growing Industry

In 2005, New Mexico became the first state to require interlocks for everyone convicted of driving drunk. More than a dozen others soon followed, spurred on by a nationwide lobbying campaign by Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The organization says its top legislative priority is getting all states to mandate interlocks for every drunken-driving offender. MADD has also called for automakers to include such technology as an option in all vehicles.“The research showing that interlocks save lives is pretty overwhelming,” said J.T. Griffin, MADD’s chief government affairs officer. That’s not the only reason they’re an easy sell: States don’t foot the bill. Drivers pay about $75 to have the devices installed in their cars, as well as a monthly monitoring fee that generally runs between $60 and $100. The annual cost of having a device is typically $1,000 or more. That has created a lucrative industry. Smart Start, based in Texas, estimated its interlock revenue last year at around $150 million — nearly double its revenue from four years ago — according to its chief executive. Dräger, a German company that is among the leading manufacturers of breathalyzer machines, now makes twice as much money from interlocks in the United States as it does from its traditional breath-test business. Private equity firms looking to cash in have bought several interlock makers, including Smart Start, and are circling others. When regulatory warnings about rolling tests have come up, Interlock companies have pushed back.In 2006, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal regulator in charge of setting vehicle safety equipment standards, began revising its 14-year-old guidelines for how interlock devices should work. A 2010 draft of the document said the agency “does not intend” that users perform rolling retests and said they should be performed while stopped on the side of the road.The interlock industry and others objected, arguing that rolling retests were safe and, in any case, that it was impractical to expect drivers to pull over. “All interlock vendors advise the client/user to pull off the road in a ‘safe’ place to take the retest,” the president of LifeSafer, a leading vendor, wrote in a letter to the N.H.T.S.A. He wrote that the “practical reality” of interlocks is that “99 percent” of retests happen while the vehicle is moving. Another company, National Interlock Systems, wrote, “While it is possible that there have been traffic accidents while the test is being taken, we are not aware of any.” And state officials from Colorado said rolling retests would actually be safer in many situations, like tunnels and “congested environments with tight lanes and limited shoulders.” The regulator backed down. In its final guidance, published in 2013, it wrote that it was “very concerned about distracted driving” but would not specify how retests should be conducted. The agency also said that was “more appropriately a function for States and local jurisdictions.”In a statement to The Times, the agency said the devices give “ample time” to pull over for a test.

Blind Spot

The federal agency’s statement said it had not studied the issue of distracted driving and interlocks. States that mandate them have not, either.David Kelly, the executive director of the Coalition of Ignition Interlock Manufacturers, said his group’s members were aware of very few accidents involving their devices — but he acknowledged that no one is actively looking for them. “There hasn’t really been much research in this area at all, and part of that is because, from what we understand and the evidence we’ve seen, the distraction issue isn’t really that big of an issue,” Mr. Kelly said. The Times worked with officials in North Carolina — one of the few states that makes most traffic collision records public — to see if interlocks were cited in police crash reports. The review went back 10 years, spanning three million crashes.In 2017 — when about 11,500 of the state’s drivers had interlocks, according to an industry-funded study — there were eight crashes linked to the devices. In all, interlocks were involved in 58 crashes over the 10-year period. That is almost certainly an undercount: Not every crash report is logged in the state’s database, and many reports lacked searchable descriptions of the crash’s circumstances. One driver told local police that he reached for his beeping interlock, missed a curve in the road and “woke up to someone saying he had been in an accident.” Two drivers rear-ended stopped cars during rolling retests. A fourth driver hit a sheriff’s vehicle. A fifth veered off the road and into a field, where he hit a calf. Mr. Kelly said the crashes turned up in The Times’s review reflected just a sliver of the collisions caused by other distractions like changing a radio station, sipping a drink or toying with a cellphone. “You’re never, ever going to eliminate all of the distraction risk inside a vehicle,” he said. “Every manufacturer tells customers they need to pull over for a retest and operate safely.” People who favor the use of interlock devices say that any distracted-driving perils posed must be weighed against the far greater threat of drunken driving, while allowing offenders to get back on the road without driving on a suspended license. Rich Leotta, whose son Noah was killed by a drunken driver, lobbied for a 2016 Maryland law requiring interlocks for everyone convicted of the crime. “The interlock allows people to go back out and live their normal lives, while protecting everyone else on the road,” Mr. Leotta said. “It’s saving lives. I think the positive impact significantly outweighs any potential risks.” In a letter to The Times, MADD’s president, Helen Witty, said interlocks had saved lives by preventing more than three million attempts to drive drunk in the past dozen years. She also suggested the accident reports supplied by officials in North Carolina were not necessarily accurate, because the drivers cannot be trusted to tell the truth.“My two decades of experience with MADD has taught me to go beyond initial statements provided by a convicted drunk driver, particularly one who has once again gotten into some kind of trouble.”

False Positives

Even when interlocks are used safely, sober drivers can end up in legal jeopardy. The most advanced breath-testing devices are the machines found in many police stations. But they have had reliability problems, including software glitches, poor maintenance and human error. In recent years, courts have thrown out more than 50,000 such tests that were flawed.Interlock devices use a cheaper and less trustworthy technology, the kind found in hand-held breath testers used in traffic stops. (Such tests are generally not considered reliable enough to be used in court.)Mouthwash, toothpaste, breath mints and gum can trigger false positives. So can certain foods: Smart Start’s website warns drivers to avoid sugary snacks like doughnuts, cinnamon rolls and chocolate before blowing into their devices. Chris Murray, a musician who was convicted of driving drunk in 2013, still doesn’t know why he failed a rolling retest.Driving from Maryland to North Carolina for a gig in March 2014, he successfully completed several retests on his Guardian Interlock Systems device. Then, two hours into his trip, he failed one. Mr. Murray was baffled. He’d had nothing but water and coffee to drink since he started his car. He pulled onto the highway shoulder, turned off his car and waited a few minutes to try again. He failed again. Half an hour later, a Virginia state trooper stopped to check on him — and Mr. Murray set out to prove he wasn't drunk.“I told him I want to do every sobriety test on the planet,” Mr. Murray said. The trooper later testified in court that Mr. Murray had showed no signs of impairment. Worried about getting to the gig on time, Mr. Murray called his bandmates for a ride and left his stranded car to be towed. The failures triggered a report to his probation officer, who sought to revoke Mr. Murray’s probation and send him to prison. Terrified, he hired a lawyer and started barraging executives at Guardian with complaints about what he insisted were faulty tests.The company didn’t budge. “Our Director of Training and Standards has reviewed the violations and agrees they are valid,” a Guardian representative responded in a letter reviewed by The Times. Company representatives did not respond to requests for comment.Mr. Murray’s case went before a Maryland state judge. His lawyer called witnesses, including the Virginia state trooper, to back up his story. The judge ruled in Mr. Murray’s favor and ended his probation. He was left with about $4,000 in legal fees and other costs.

Lives Changed

Ms. Butler never regained consciousness after Mr. Cowan crashed his truck into her car. Two months later, he was charged with manslaughter. Mr. Cowan pleaded guilty and was sentenced this month to 16 years in prison. He is haunted by the crash and has twice tried to kill himself, according to his lawyer, Charles Smith. Ms. Butler’s mother, Barbara Barr, said rolling retests should not be permitted. The devices, she said, should give drivers plenty of time to find a safe place to stop — and drivers should be required to pull over.“We have laws against texting and driving,” Ms. Barr said. “They don’t have a law on interlock.” Read the full article
