2007 Toyota Camry: Flipping on the black light

2007 Toyota Camry -- Brent RomansI was driving my sister-in-law around in our 2007 Toyota Camry recently. After about 20 minutes, she remarked out of the blue, "Jeez, there are really a lot of Camrys on the road, aren't there?"

I remember having the same experience as my sister-in-law the first time I took the keys to our long-termer. Toyota Camrys of every generation were no longer automatically filtered out by my brain. They seemed to be everywhere and in places I never thought possible...

It was like watching one of those local news investigate shows where a reporter goes to a hotel room and flips on a black light – and afterwards you swear never to sit naked on a hotel bed comforter again.

Camry ubiquity is hardly a surprise. It's been the best selling car in nine out of the past 10 years. And for 2007, Toyota seems to be on pace to take the title again. According to Automotive News, 143,774 total Camrys have been sold through April. Coming in second, naturally, is the Honda Accord at 121,516.

Can you occasionally post something that has to do with driving/using/riding in the auto itself? That would be super! Thanks!
