Of course it is a Camry
 

The worst parking job I have seen in a while...

wow, I'm almost impressed with the lack of fucks given.

Wow, but maybe it is just Toyota attraction

HOLY SHIT








People still buy the Land Cruiser?

If e Camry driver parked that without touching e Land Cruiser, it would be tough for me to call it "worst." exact placement like that takes skill or lncredible luck.

Wow.

How does one exit their car, take a look at that, and say, "OK, sure," and walk away?

WTF

You've made the mistake of assuming Toyota drivers are at all aware of their surroundings.

Taken moments before she nearly changed lanes directly into me.

a move she obviously has practiced many times

This one is one big WTF...

Fake carbon fiber fake NACA duct?

WTF?!?

Dont forget Lexus GS trunk lights.

I just took a closer look.

I don't think that's a US-spec Camry to begin with. Look at the headlights -- Could that be something imported by a diplomat and later sold locally (or not elgible for diplomatic plates)?

It has some customizations (like the side vents and bad stickers). But the integration of the headlights, front fenders and bumper cover is too good to be a DIY or even professional customization (and the stickers reduces the change of a professional customization).

The headlights are similar to the last gen Lexus ES300, but the hood lines are different. The headlights are also very different than the prior-gen Camry:

Its a camry circa ealry 2000's

Where are its M badges??

Oh it's most definitely a US Camry. Early 2000s, ~2 gens back. The SE models had the blacked out trim on the headlights (don't ask how I know, I just retain that useless info)

As for SE Camry... have any of you seen the latest Camry commercial where they interview the couple and the wife talks about how she loves how sporty her SE Camry is?

I didn't realize they were wannabe NACA ducts. I thought they were just (well used) rub strips.

I guess I've forgotten that design entirely :lol:

Is that the one where the wife says she likes it because it is "Grounded to the ground"? Makes me laugh each time I see it but does not make me want to buy a Camry.

Yes!! I laugh every time at how ridiculous that commercial is.

I think I laughed the first time, no, the first time I saw it I thought "huh?" and hit the rewind button on the remote to hear it again, cause I thought she said "run it into the ground"

I love it.

Was behind a 1st gen Highlander this morning (ie a Camry tall wagon).

Could help but laugh that both sides of the rear bumper had Camry Corners...

Like this one?Attachment 8142

Not a Camry, but I saw this gem today:

That's an Escalade ESV, so a rather long vehicle. When parked on an end space, he couldn't be bothered to pull all the way forward into the space, or even come close to staying within the lines.

I park across like that all the time in spaces like that. It avoids door dings and doesn't take up two spaces. Of course, my car is a little smaller than that. Still, I don't see anything wrong with moving over a foot in a spot like that.

Can't tell from the picture if the back is sticking out.

It is an Escalade ESV. The back is WAY out.

It looks like they were using the "Jeep" next to them as a guide. It's not pulled in all of the way either. Granted, it's not nearly as long, so it's not an issue.

This happens in my garage every day.

Today, in the "small car only" end spaces, there was a full size long bed PU, a Chevy Traverse, and a very poorly parked Kia Optima. All of which where hanging well out into the travel lane.

Somewhere, I have a photo of an FC RX-7 parked in a "Low Emission Vehicles Only" spot.

I think you're right though, the headlights and sculpting of the front look different.

It's not *that* bad, but I love how they stalk me.

One thing I notice, since you and I have basically the same car, is our E46 is getting smaller ... like that guy in "the incredible shrinking man" ... :eeps:

I can remember when the e46 seemed, while not large, at least average - now it's hard to see in a parking lot.

New day, same parking job.

Oh this could be fun to watch for a few days! :lol:

Now I'm really curious which of my co-workers drives this beigemobile.

Yeah, and who drives the Hyundai that parks next to this person every day.

You should print it, turn it into a "which one of these is different" game, and stick it up on a bulletin board at work
