The how many Camrys did you see on the way to work thread
 

After a comment made by @Shutter, I got to thinking about just how many of these damn things are really in our cities.


I noticed 6 or 7 during my 20 minute commute this morning.

hahahahaha this is awesome.

Whats funny is that since they're so bland, you probably miss a bunch and don't even realize

Exactly! So now I've planted it in your mind, I think you'll see like 47 tomorrow.

One or two.
But ... I did make a mental note of counting how many Darts I saw because there were 3 in a row in front of me in the drive through. The grand total for the 45 minute one way drive was 18.
Not sure if they are giving them away in cereal, they are dirt cheap or I really missed something special when I test drove one but they are starting to rival Mustangs in numbers.

although the nasty prius takes the cake for most cars on the road. When commuting on my bike I probably see about 200 over a 50 mile stretch.

At least here anyway. We like to pretend that we care about the environment.

In b4 somebody makes the joke saying they thought they saw a Camry but it was actually a '15 wrx/sti

I thought it would be Corolla? :scared0016:

....there's like 7 around my block.

Sad thing is, in SoCal Orange County there are probably as many BMWs on the road as Camrys or Prii. There are so many damn BMWs that they're nearly invisible. I wonder if BMW drivers know this?

Indeed! If I were to kill a kitten for every bad prius driver on the road... kittens would be extinct. I've honestly never seen a good prius driver.

I see probably 3 or 4 every day in the morning. I do see at least 1 Corolla every single day... I do own one haha

But the number of Priuses/Prii/whatever overwhelmingly outnumber any other car I see on a daily basis. After that, it would be those little Smart cars, then F-150's.

There's one in my driveway.

????????

lol

Fucking soulless piece of shit...

I seen roughly 170 Camry's today. That was our build out.

..Yeah.. I build the fuckers..

There are plenty of Camrys floating around here but the last 3 years I've noticed a declining trend in how many I see.

Now I see a much more diverse soccer mom car population floating around.

There are A LOT of Kia Optima rolling around and I can only assume a percentage of those are would be Camry owners if the Optima had not come up so much in quality, design, and popularity.

There are so many goddamn Camry's out there that I don't even notice anymore until they inevitably start driving stupidly. The vehicle I'm starting to notice now is the Honda CR-V. Dear lord, how many of these things did they make...Between that and the Accord, Honda has got to be printing money. Not just soccer moms have them either. They are literally EVERYWHERE in Philly.

Hey, I like the Corolla for a daily driver. :(

Surprisingly the Corolla and Camry have the same legroom almost with the Corolla having slightly more. The Camry is just better at fitting wider people, lol.

I agree though, both cars are very main stream but when it comes down to it, these cars go 200,000 miles with very little maintenance. Hard to turn down when all you care about is getting from Point A to Point B safely and efficiently.

I've personally been keeping an eye on Mazda lately with the whole Skyactiv series and moving all operations back to Japan away from Ford. I'm eager to see how reliable they are after all the reviews that have come in on the Mazda 3. Plus after test driving the Mazda 3, it's a fun little car loaded with options.

I had a Prius v before my FR-S. I'm much more of an assbag menace on the road in my FR-S than I ever was in my Prius.

At least in the FR-S, I know you are going to be able to take that turn at 60 mph. I don't think many prius owners know/comprehend the laws of physics.

Ahhh but assbag and bad are not the same thing. Unless of course you are a bad assbag driver and then you are a menace.

In the Greater Toronto area, i think the amount of CRVs on the road out number the camry on a 900 to 1 ratio

I doubt the law would care if my car can take a corner at 55mph when the posted speed limit is 40mph. It isn't necessarily bad skill wise, but it reduces ability to react should a deer jump out in front of me or something like that.

Here in London its probably Hyundai Santa Fes instead of CRVs.

Either way, stay cool and if you have to, hit that fucker dead-on. Deal with the consequences after you've safely come to a stop.

No joke. I find this somewhat profound.

1 camry for every 5 corollas.

5 corollas for every 20 civics.

I see approx 1 camry, up to 5 if on highway.

i live about 1.5 miles from work and i see about 5 camry's, there are also 2 brz's.

I have two camrys and a corolla for daily use drives for my family to use.
They are both reliably boring and boringly reliable.
About as much fun as using a lawnmower.

As stated, I think the Camrys get overlooked so I wouldn't know. Perhaps with the new facia, we could notice more.

I actually have been seeing a lot of the Prius (Prii?). At one point on yesterday's drive, I was surrounded by 6 of them. Like a Prius gang that surrounded me, haha.

We drove our Prius v out to Cali last fall. I was amazed at how ubiquitous they were there. But, getting over 45mpg in San Diego makes it pretty clear why they are popular. Almost all of the taxis in SD were the v model like we had. Amazingly spacious, efficient, and practical (especially after I put a hitch in it).

The bay area is pretty filled with them (Prius) too.

Off topic: Is that a 29"? How does it ride? Debating on 29" or 27.5".

2012 Cannondale Scalpel 29er Carbon 1. It is my 2nd 29er. My first was a hardtail which I actually still really love. If I hadn't gotten such a crazy deal on the scalpel, I'd probably still be riding my hardtail. If you are a medium or bigger, the 29er rides really nice. At 5'8", I'd say I'm right at the cutoff for too small for a 29er due to wheel/toe overlap. They really bomb over rocky sections where my FS 26" scalpel could get tied up sometimes. My advice is to find a demo day.

I saw a older model Hyundai Elantra with custom wheels (only the back as the front was hidden by a tree) and I thought it was a 15' STI... I thought it was weird that a construction worker would have a STI and then I got closer and realized it wasn't one.

0. What do I win?

Must not have looked hard enough!

Yeah as far as I know I saw absolutely zero. Same with Accords, Maximas (they still make those I think?), whatever that thing under the Maxima that starts with an A is, etc.


I have been to the shitter exactly 6...

... 7 times since eating some bad chipotle for lunch though.

Every time I leave the house I see at least 3 other 86s, for what it's worth. The other day 4 of us were lined up on the freeway.
