ARGH!! Hate Camry drivers....

  Top of Page

I'm so dark at the moment... had an old lady in a Camry this morning, merge into my lane at the same time and scrap my bumper...

When I saw her come into the lane at the same time, I stopped and beeped at her, but she kept going... WHAM! left a nice gash on my right front bumper... We stopped and exchanged details - but she was downright rude and denied even hitting my car! Furthermore, she blamed the fact that my car was black.... that's why she couldn't see me neutralneutralneutral

The s**ttiest part is because the fact that we were both merging, insurance says that it is both our faults... so it looks like I'll be forking out money to repair it sad

To top it all off... I had my car keyed 3 days ago... parked on the nature strip outside my house between 6am and 8am... left a nice 20cm long and deep scratch on the passenger front door...

I don't know what's the point in owning a nice car sometimes... some people just have NO respect...

Sorry, just had to RANT... blow off some steam...!!!!

'Been there, done that'. That is being on the receiving end of getting keyed.

As for the merging incident - what'd you expect from a Camry driver?! Oh well...hopefully you get it all patched up nice and fast (and cheap!)

Sad to hear.

I avoid driving anywhere near trucks, utes, camrys, volvos and anything "soccer mum-esque" for good measure.

man that sucks..

Camry drivers are just the worst.  when you're crawling along in the right hand lane at 10kmh below the speed limit stuck behind a procession of traffic, 9 times out of 10 the car in front holding everyone up is a Camry.

One day while riding my Kawasaki down a local street there was an old duck in a Camry waiting to pull out from a side road into my lane.  There was nothing between me and her except 150m of clear road.  She wasn't moving.  100m of clear space and she is still sitting there. 50m - nothing. At 30m I figure she must be wanting to go the other way and cross in front of me and was just being overly cautious.  I got ready to slow down just in case.  20m and she's looking vacantly somewhere at a point off in fairy land.  10m between me and her and she decides she is going to pull into my lane after all.  I brake...HARD... and pull up just short of her rear bumper.  She accelerates off in front of me at about 1cm per second.  I eventually overtake her after I'm certain she's not going to pull a U-turn in front of me.  Lucky for her I'd been doing some Zen reading and remained calm.

May karma be an equine-flu infected horse and sneeze upon the low-life who keyed your car.

I'll be taking this advice... for sure! Especially Camry drivers... may other road drivers have mercy on this useless bunch!

I'm tempted to setup a camera in front of the house and park my car out there again... I'm pretty sure they'd have to be from this area. Probably a school kid or some s**t

And if they ever touch my car again, I'm going to come out with a f**king baseball bat and screw them over... they probably deserve every beating they get. Probably didn't get beaten enough as a young child... ARGHHHH!!!! *Breath in, breath out*

Repairs? $1250... respray front bar, two doors, rear garnish and rear bumper bar (from a previous incident). Done through Sheens Panel Services... highly recommended if anyone needs a place to take their car. Does mates rates as I've referred a few companies on to them...

Car keying sucks.  Mine got done about a month ago.  Total bill was $1030  to respray whole side of car.  Silver cars suck :mellow:

Scratch was about 25cm long on rear passenger side door.  I did get them to blend right through to the front quarter panel though to get rid of some chips in the front passenger side door.

I feel the pain, man.  I would have killed the bastards too if I got my hands on them :vinsent:

Goes to show you can never be too careful where you park.  Even outside your own house.  Get yourself a massive, aggressive dog and chain it to your car to sort these pricks out if they decide to pay you another visit - that way you can teach them a lesson minus the assault charge!

hahahaha I like the sound of the dog mauling for car key'ers should be an endorsed government practice, use these parasites as something for police dogs to practice their attacking on.
As for s**t drivers who don't pay attention to anything around them I have had enough. Taxi's pulling out without looking at all, people stuffing around and taking a sunday drive holding up huge lines of traffic, its very very irritating, these people have less worth then maggots in my opinion.

Yes... um a few words :triniti:

Sucks , mate, worst part of it is the kids go around talking about how they keyed some1s car as if it's a cool thing to do, while your forking out the money to repair it. One of the lowest acts i can think of.
Also think ull find not just camry drivers out there atm on melbournes roads drinving like sh**, driving standards has to seem to go to sh** lately. Think people are starting to think the right lane is the slow lane and not the overtaking lane.
