I posted one of these recently when I hit the break-in miles, and I was also in Drive. However, you'll notice I was at 0 MPH. I was at a stop sign and made sure no one was behind me waiting. As much as I'd like to think I'm a pro driver, if I take my eyes off the road for more than a second or two I usually end up veering to one side. I'm definitely not going to do so for some photo that didn't need to be taken. Just saying.

I think the part that's important here is that you were moving at a significant rate of speed while taking the photo.

Also, get dash cams people.

Dash cams aren't necessary in this car. Bc most likely you will be the one doing the speeding and crashing into stuff. Why would you want to film that? LOL.

No pics here, but just got to 1,030 miles and got the first oil change done at the dealer. The transmission is definitely getting snappier and smoother as I rack up miles. The V8 just gets better with every push of the Start Button and my wallet is starting to hate all of you and your mods
More Miles = More Smiles

All three of my accidents that required insurance intervention were me being rear ended when I was already at a full stop (I think white Camrys are so common they are invisible), either at a light or in stopped traffic. People in California are terrible drivers and I have paranoia about driving in any car without a dash cam. One of the accidents was a hit and run so I was saved by my dash cam, they hit me and then sped off, and I had proof of it. Unfortunately at the time I had a shoddy dashcam and it didn't capture the lic plate. Now I have a good one that can so they won't get away.

Finally no more eating winter tires!!
After about 2k miles, front are 11.5/32nds and rears are 10.5/32nds! I even drove in Eco mode all winter and tried to not accelerate quickly. They'll go quickly!!
Don't know if you have something similar @AmbyBomb ?
But, gave her a well deserved bath!
