I had a 300, completely different car, I know. Most difficult car to werk on I ever had, everything was in the way of something else, from front bumper to rear bumper. Blew a hose under the distributor, soaked it and killed it. Ended up taking off the timing belt cover to change it, and noticed someone had missed a couple teeth on one gear, so more stuff off to fix that. What a pita. A standard Camry would outrun it unless you kept the rpm up around 5000 and better, but up there it pulled like 2 or 4 more cylinders had kicked in. Car cornered like it was fastened to rails, never drove anything that would corner harder. 240s didn't come close to the 300 handling, don't know about the inbetweens, never drove any of those. But at least they had some room in the front to fix them... or drop in a V8.

I use a French press, but I'd need the generator to heat the water in the microwave.

My wife always has a spare coffee maker in storage. Us without coffee in the morning is not a pretty thing. Need to buy an old fashion percolator for days of power outages.
