Theory: The Death Camry
Something I've been pontificating about for years... the Death Camry.
Basically, it goes like this: Someone who knows nothing about cars... for whatever reason... and has little money, but needs a car... they buy the Death Camry.
A Death Camry is basically the oldest, cheapest, Camry you can find that's not totally falling apart.
I figure, since these people know nothing about cars, they buy Consumer Reports, look at the little circles, and see that the Camry has a bunch of red bulls-eye ratings. Sounds good. But since they only have, say, $800 to spend... you get the point. Death Camry.
This in itself is not really a problem, of course... it's just that a good majority of these death camry drivers have no idea how to drive. But since they're easy to spot... just be on the defensive.
