alright folks, i know some of you have official named/nicknamed your camry, so let's hear em, and the story behind the name..i'll start
when i first got it, the gold off of the R and Y werent there, just black supports and shit..my guy started callin it 'the cam.' then we were listening to cam'ron and juelz (garbage i kno, but it was his cd) and hes started callin it 'the killa cam.' if only it stoppe dthere...we were drivng around in my towncar, yes i own a gas-guzzling ford, sorry, and he made a point of pointing out that 'the killa cam' was a LOT smalle than my yacht. so his official new nickname for it was "the lil killa cam' and then my bro said i drive it like a ferrari..so i'm plannin on painting teh valve cover, heat shields, etc in red with the yellow stallion, and on the upper heat shield havin it say ferrari.
her OFFICIAL full nickname
"the lil killa rarri cam"
sorry fer the long read..
Happy 08 TN!!

My 92 camry is called "Baby" or "Weed"
My dad's 2005 V6 camry is called "Grandpa" or "Old Man" cuz it's gold colored like most average asian cars. And turns like a fcuking boat. =\

my 95 camry saloon is nicknamed either Buddy or Nightmare depending upon the situation at hand. I call it buddy when I have abused it in some way like running into a small pothole or maxing out the redline, and nightmare for when I race against all the shitty civics i have in the area or for when modding almost seems impossible, like finding a header for a 95 5SFE (I had to get one for a 97 and do minor adjustments).
i cant give a mean or scary name to my camrys cuz well i know what a real mean car feels like. and my camrys arent it
95 V6 - "green bean" or "slamry" (before i knew about coilovers)
94 coupe - "red"
97 V6 - " whiner"
72 El Camino SS - "Pete"
yea kinda hard to think of a camry as high performance car and/or name it as such when you have driven cars that pop wheelies...lol
every now n then i slip up and call it the family truxster
