OMG Toyota owners are freaking out

Hopefully this will lead to less camry drivers

Wow talk about a PR suicide...Toyota that built its reputation around reliability has kicked itself in the cojones.

The more hilarious thing about the crash video, it happened several blocks away, if not right f-ing across, from a Toyota dealership I have relatives in the suburb where the video took place, so I was like "nooo...seriously...it can't be...ooohh shiiit"

I've seen this hilarious video before... but could never find out: was the driver doing that on purpose or did he just suck that badly?

No kidding.

Is there a rule somewhere that says, "if you're an adult just learning to drive then move here".

Car Info: 02 WRX wagon=dead; rollin' in a Craptastic Camry!
Sometimes when I'm commuting in my Camry, I get so annoyed at the other Camry's.


Seriously, I agree, a lot of them are clueless. It kind of makes sense if you think about it - they bought an appliance of a car. It starts reliably and runs forever, but under steers like a pig and "negotiates" with turns rather than handling them. The demographic who buys a Camry does not care about driving and is no surprise a great deal of them pay no attention when driving.

Having said that, explain all the douche bags in BMW's on the road?

for the record, I didn't buy the Camry, it was given to me. Does anyone want to buy it? It's for sale. Cheap.

Yup on the appliance car thing.

As for BMWs, there are 3 kinds:
- rich "Camry" drivers who bought BMW instead
- douchebag status symbol buyers (many who migrated to SUVs when that craze started)
- euro-esque drivers who are reasonably respectable as far as mass public drivers go

The real douchbags are those $80+ luxury coupe drivers company executive types who believe their time is worth so significantly more than the rest of the masses that they drive with a "royalty" attitude.

As for CUV ("crossover" or car based SUV), there are 2 types:
- the soccer mom that refused to drive a van; 10% chance of being a MILF +/- depending upon what area you are in
- the obnoxious egotist who uses all 450HP of his/her gas guzzler to accelerate like a vette (thus passing you) and then brake to 2 mph to navigate a turn (thus holding you up).

Quiz:

You are coming up to a stop light that is red. There are 2 lanes, each with one car already sitting at the red stop light. Which car do you get behind?

1) Camry or BMW
2) Camry or SUV
3) Camry or Miata
4) Camry or Hyundai
5) Camry or FedEx delivery truck
6) Camry or full sized yellow school bus

I think that #6 is the only one where I'd prefer to get behind the Camry. Or maybe not even then...

Omg I'm commuting home and a camry that has been driving with his high beams on is sitting at the stop light near me and HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN THE HIGHBEAMS OFF.

He keeps flicking his lights off hoping that when he turns them on again it'll be "fixed". Hahaha IDIOT

...And he drove away with the hb still on. Stupid
