The how many Camrys did you see on the way to work thread - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

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.

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...

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.

Seen a total of 6 (4 FRS 2 BRZ) in 9 months around here.
