5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
There was this lady in a black I4 Camry LE next to me in the left lane and I was in the right. We were coming down this stretch of road and she absolutely would not let me get over in the left hand lane even though she knew I needed over and there was a line of cars behind her so I couldn't just merge in behind. Well, a red light stopped us both at the front of the line and when it turned green I got in front of her. There was probably 3 car lengths or more when I got in front of her but she turned on her brights and left them on for probably 5 minutes behind me. I'm not sure what made her mad as I didn't cut her off and I wasn't even looking at her when I passed. I guess she just didn't like the fact that I got in front of her.
I had a weird occurrence on the 401 here, some dude in an accord, I was behind him in the right lane and he slowed down so I decided to pass him. Next thing I know I am blinded by his high beams and he gets behind me.
At first I thought he just forgot them on or he was retarded or something. So I move back over to the right lane and he wizzes by at like 140... ok...
He ends up slowing down again and we repeat the same thing I was getting pretty pissed as he was obviously doing it on purpose.
I just ended up reporting him and following close behind him till he got scared and exited.

should have played the same game. go in empty lane, slow down and get in back of that car and flash them with highbeam FOREVER!
That reminds me, I dropped of my co-worker one day in the summer and 2 kids in a minicooper threw water balloons at my car and flipped me off. I followed them and when they noticed they tried to speed off. i followed them thru neighborhoods and streets showing them my torch wrench like a crazy mad person. called my friends and tried to block them in, but they got away since its such a small compact car.

What those kids did is certainly not excusable. But at the same time, don't you think you went overboard? That's kind of bordering psychotic...
Once I was driving in some small streets, and a parked minivan suddenly started pulling out right at the instant when I was parallel with him. I was driving at about 30km/h on the street. So I honked at him cuz he would've hit me on the side (had to swerve). So he pulls out into the street behind me and starts honking at me and tail-gating me.
At this point I showed him the finger through the sunroof cuz it was clearly his fault. But this asshole ended up following me for like 5 mins until we came to a larger street where a red light stopped us. The bastard started getting out, at which point I nailed the gas and turned right.
I was not afraid of personal injury since I'm usually bigger than most. But who knows - I don't want him taking a random hammer to my windshield or something. Crazy people out there.

Some wacko decided he was gonna spit out the window doing 60 in the fast lane on the 210E and it landed right on my truck. I was right behind him when he did that and I saw the spit break off into 3 peices and all 3 landed on my grill/hood. I passed the idiot and didnt even look at him. He decided to flip me off once I was infront of him and he paced me for a good 5 miles till I left his ass behind. Fucken crazy people.

i was driving ome from a TN md meet last summer and i was on I-95 at like 1 am...in front of me in the fast lane was a beat up civic coupe (97-98ish era) going about 80, and im behind him about 3 carlengths....this asshat decided to discard a soda bottle out his window and it smacked my front bumper....this made me generally angry so i sped up and rode his ass for a minute and he tried to speed up by downshifting, and all teh civic did was puff black smoke and barely jump a bit...i slammed the gas and switched lanes, and i took a open soda can and slung it at his civic, smacking the pass side door and exploding all over the car....he immediatly slammed his breaks and ducked back away from me....stupid jerk off
its amazing how some people are on the road....i shouldent have flung the can at him, but i mean that bottle scraped teh hell outta my bumper....and i was pissed
not saying thats anyway to act, because i know i overreacted in my case
be safe out there!
yea LoL, he started booking it tho, I didn't want to excessively speed for nothing but as soon as I would start getting closer after a while of driving he sped up again and exited.
Weird thing is I'm pretty sure he was in the car alone
I shoulda highbeamed his ass too!

Met a stupid driver today. Two lane merge, my lane was somewhat clear ahead since it was a secondary lane. Had cars on my rear (it was after a turn light) hence i pulled forward to merge. Well apparently that person didn't like that. They tailgated the car in front of them. I probably could have taken that spot since i had excess space in front of me, but seriously, that idiot had a 1990ish Kia, i had a 07 Camry v6, not worth scratching it over that POS.
So their got a piece of my high beam. Meh. Sucks for them, no auto dimming rearview mirror!
