I am amazed by the fact that the 2000 Toyota Camry seems to have been only sold in one color and on any given day the parking lot at my work is filled with no less than 8 of said Cameri.
As I exit the front doors of my work every morning to take a break I head for my car with the sun shining directly in my eyes. I usually can make out the color and the model of my car among all of the other cars but the sun is shining in such a way that it is hard to make out many other features. What makes this whole process a bit more sticky is that we all have the same hubcaps with no tint on our windows and all are sans bumper stickers.
So I am here to sheepishly admit that I have opened or attempted to open all of your cars at least once and simple math tells me that a few of you got a second go around.
I am sorry, I am embarrassed as noted by the fact that I removed my hubcaps to better identify my car. This works great! I can avoid staring into the sun and single out my car.
It works great until 3 other of you do the same thing.
I think that we need to start a club, The Order of the Cameri. We can swap stories and tell rakishly funny Toyota jokes if there are any.
I mostly just like the name, we don’t have to tell Camry stories.

Could you go with something like a wind-shield protector? You know, those things that anally retentive people use to shield their cars in the summer in the vain hope that it’ll keep the insides cool, ignoring the fact it’s a metal box in the sun.
I suggest this, as they are now available with a variety of designs, so when The Order Of The Cameri meet, you can ensure nobody gets the same design as you.
Alternatively… just remember where you parked the bloody thing.
Remembering stuff is not my thing.
I will take this up with the Dongle (thats the groups secret name, coven is so 2000)
I love your stories. =D
You should get a bumper sticker! Doesn’t even need a message, it could just be a weird little image or a cartoon.
Like a sticker that says “This is my car”
You could get bumper stickers that say “This is not my car” and stick them on everyone else’s Camry as a surprise.
Thats just crazy enough that it might work
I second the “This is not my car” bumper stickers. That is hilarious.
when i had a camry i did the same thing, randomly on the streets of boston.
There is millions of them, and all the same color
I just stumbled upon your website for the second time this year.
The first time, I spent a few hours reading every story I could find. They’re all funny, and some of them I read to others so they could share in my amusement.
It was this second stumble that I noticed the PKA on the left hand side of all the stories and noticed that it strangely resembles the letters of my fraternity, with the K bigger than the P and A and the gold colour even.
I think it might look good with a little bit of Garnet.
Maybe the resemblance is just a coincidence. If it is, it sure is a hell of a coincidence.
I was looking around for a “contact me” link and could not find one, so I am sorry that I posted this on the Camry story. Maybe you could have a wall of some sort, like facebook, where people could just write you a message that does not relate to any particular story.
Cheers
The PKA logo is new so it wasn’t there last time and my email address is in the “about me” section. I tried to buy your domain name but couldn’t as it was taken and Im a little pissed. Tell all of your brothers to follow me on Facebook as a punishment, I expect 4000 new followers by Fri.
TY for the kind words and in the spirit of frat nicknames I will now call you “Little bit of Garnet”.
there are several ways to fix this. can do the bumper sticker thing. can hang things from your rear view. put stuff inside your car that is easily visable. or if the “same color” thing is really getting to you, save up a bit and take your car in to get a different color put on. not sure the going rates but i dont think its all that expencive… but then again 500-700 dollars isnt that much to me… i also dont really know the value of money =P.
