Ugliest Camry Ever
By Alex Vickers
Katakuna
Wire wheel covers: check. Colored tape on the headlights: check. Mass amounts of chrome trim: check. Fake triple side-exit exhaust: check.
I swear this guy isn’t even a teenager. The owner is almost eighty years old and is retired. At least it sounds good, even great. But still… More pics after the jump!

i’ve seen worse, looks pretty clean to me, i’d have to see it in person for final decision.

I think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder….the owner obviously digs his car like this….I respect him for standing his ground when undoubtedly, everyone in his family tried to convince him to take it all off…..but he didn’t. Bravo, Sir. Bravo.

Between the previous Ford Focus the Charger and this Camry in a figure 8 race witch one would have more crap fall off first???????

pmallday, my grandfather drives a fully loaded 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe with the 3.3 litre V6, all wheel drive, leather interior, anything it came with, it has. He paid over 30 grand cash for it, with less than a hundred miles on it. It may not look like this Camry, but it sure as hell looks better, not to mention could probably kick its ass in a race.

You know what,what the hell, I hope when I’m in my 80s that I’m still into fixing up my cars. To him it probably looks just like the car he drove to high school, or took his wife on their first date. I say more power to him. I bet it gets noticed every where he goes!

Jun 4, 2009 at 3:11 pm
I can’t wait to see all the hard work and cool things on Alex’s car as soon as he gets them done. Or maybe he’s more proud of his cars the way they are than the old timer is with his nut in either event the big question is who will be the next car he picks to post on CarDomain for everyone to ridicule and make fun of. We should all be so proud.

That is so ugly. Don’t you know when to stop with the chrome trim. ughh.
jonrand
Jun 4, 2009 at 3:08 pm
lol yeah man he needs to slap some chrome trim on the tire treads. THAT would complete this masterpiece!
Alex Vickers
Jun 4, 2009 at 2:43 pm
So what if it has more mods? I’m trying to get mine street legal before I do anything to it… And it needs a bit of work. All it needs now is a new master cylinder, new gas, the engine cleaned up (mainly sweeping off the cobwebs), and two new tires. It has mods done to it already, that have been on it since the late sixties, like custom rear fenders (yes, I do mean fenders and not quarter panels), old Chevrolet rims and various other bits of stuff done.

That is so hideous. The exhaust doesnt even line up. It looks like its too far to the left thus making me believe its not even a real dual exhaust.
Jordy403
Jun 4, 2009 at 8:54 am
Yea it doesn’t look too good, but that’s what it’s all about, taking an inexpensive car and having fun with it in your own unique way. Unique.. that’s something alot of people can’t say about their “custom” rides these days.

I heard chrome makes your car more aerodynamic…therefore it makes 50 more hp easily…no lie, my cousin’s friend’s uncle told us that!

I have to say if you up grade the rims to a real set of spokes and put some Vogue tires and take off those side pipes it wound look to bad. Kind of looks like a Buick.

Guess he could not buy a Vette for his life crisis, so he riced his Camry.
This thing is ugly enough to be art!

Is it possible that he took the time and effort to poke fun at some of the young idiots around his city that do their cars the same way..but THINK it’s cool….. The same way that people do the insane cardboard body kit/gigantic spoiler projects ..just to be crazy & get a laugh out of people who do it, Blind to how lame it is……..C’mon.. You get bored when you’re retired..I mean you can only play so much golf & Bingo.

Funny thing is, the side-pipes would actually be kind of cool if they were functional. I think if I had a set of dual Cherry Bombs sticking out the sides of my SL2, that’d be so cool…
LedZeppelin
Jun 3, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Could be that the seats are covered in plastic too…Remember the Venetian blinds that people used to put in the rear windows?
My Grandparents had a Motorhome outfitted with all that cheezy stuff
(not that a religeous picture is cheezy)
it used to be the way to mod your car on the cheap and have it be functional…..
oh yeah…non funtional side pipes…..hmmmmmmm
LedZeppelin
Jun 3, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Ah Hell…..This looks like an older folks ride. I mean really, I bet he has that ugly compass thing mounted on the dash. You know, it spins and bobs up and down inside the leakproof shell, probably green…and he could have a faded picture of Christ on the dash, a musty pillow to rest his arm on, a beaded seat cover

That’s actually not bad.
At least the chrome strips are straight.
I saw a guy who tried to put chrome strips on his car, they were all wobbly and it looked horrible.

he forgot about the chrome pillar strips

I wouldnt drive it but to each his own ~ and if the guy really is that old as Alex says than idc what you think you gotta give the guy credit for trying even if some like myself think it is an epic fail.
gold94corolla
Jun 3, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Wow, for some reason, I actually really like this (minus the side port things below). I like the head light treatment, and then it looks like a Mercedes in the rear with the chrome on the tail lights and under the bumper. OK, yeah, take off the trim between the bumpers and the fenders, and maybe on the edges of the door, but this is the best job I’ve seen with the chrome stuff.

Jun 3, 2009 at 10:44 am
Alex, I appreciate your honesty and lack of excuses. My only thought is that we should try to be part of a blog that caters to everyone with interest to the automotive world. As contributors I feel it paramount that we set a good example. It’s akin to someone telling their children they shouldn’t smoke, while they are having a smoke. From what you tell us about the owner of the car I can appreciate how bad you wanted to say something but sometimes we learn it’s just not worth it. It’s like someone telling their wife that her ass looks big. It’s just not worth the consequences. I look forward to more of your post.

Jun 3, 2009 at 8:59 am
Oh! yeah no body beats old people at making horrible rides and given that the guy is an ass and we can’t rip on him at least lets rip on his chrome mobile. What we are witnessing here maybe the latest technology to combat BIRD FLYOVERS and BIRD DROPPINGS. If they can’t look at it they can’t dump on it is just that easy. Call now and we will send 20 test birds for free.

dgaf – im not sure about the actual definition of hater but in my book its only hating on something if you want it and your basically mad that you don’t or can’t have it so if you don’t want it then its not hating lol
Alex Vickers
Jun 3, 2009 at 7:39 am
dgaf88,
Yes, this does make me a hypocrite (not that you said I was outright, but I get your meaning).
gfaules, I’m not here just to trash people’s rides, but I’ve wanted to write about this car for quite some time, three years actually. Not much can excuse writing this, but he really didn’t care when I told him I was going to write about it.
dgaf88
Jun 3, 2009 at 6:06 am
Weren’t you the guy who posted a blog about haters…
gfaules
Jun 3, 2009 at 5:40 am
Alex,
Respectfully, I can understand and even respect you being upset that someone started trashing your car but the old saying “Two wrongs don’t make a right” seems to apply. More importantly when you write for a magazine or blog “you” can help set a standard. At a time when it appeared that Rob was trying hard to rid the blog of those who lurk only to make fun of others along comes one of his writers who makes a post that basically says, “It’s ok to “put down or trash” someone’s car on CarDomain.” I believe your post as a writer sets a bad example to it’s readers of what CarDomain is trying to accomplish. We all know there will be cars that some will not like but everyone should feel safe knowing CarDomain is a place where their car will not be ridiculed especially by the writers.

It sorta reminds me of Tron in a way.
Wasn’t there a Prius like this awhile back as well? Oh and I think that there is a guy in every town that put as much chrome on as possible, I know of a few around here, rich neighbor included.

Jun 2, 2009 at 9:02 pm
okay, i a am firm believer in “no car is ugly, if the owner likes it, then that is all that matters.” but that is pushing the limits. kind of like this focus i saw today. it was all pimped out with nascar stickers and even said “race car” on the back. and the best part was the aluminum foil on the gas cap. i snapped a pic on my phone: http://twitpic.com/6hc34 it was pretty bad
Alex Vickers
Jun 2, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Besides, it’s not even that harsh. If you’ll notice, I actually complemented how the car sounds. See? I don’t hate it, just what he put on it and he himself.
Alex Vickers
Jun 2, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Let me defend my post: My father has known this guy for years, and worked for him at one point. From what I hear, the guy makes a complete ass of himself, not with his car, but with his attitude. I saw him the day I took these photos, and the second he saw me and the Saturn, he started trashing my car. All is far in love and war, in which case, this is war. Had he not been such a prick, I probably would have been a little nicer. I’ve seen the car around for quite some time, and he sneers at me like I’m a bottom feedinf cretin because I don’t drive a “man’s car”.
Pff, like a Camry is a man’s car. He could have spent all the money he put into the car and the rice and bought the Camry’s Lexus counterpart.

Jun 2, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Just my two cents;
I can agree that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but I take exception to one of the writers of an auto blog, (this one or any other one) whose key function in life-on-the-Intranet is to create a place where anyone interested in sharing their vehicle can congregate, that would publicly pick out someone’s ride and lambaste them the way this one has been done. While it’s not unexpected for posters to get in their jabs as is too often done here, it’s very unbecoming of a CarDomain writer to do so.
The question is, how long before someone here does it to your ride? It won’t be long before they start making fun of the kids who ride the short bus.

Jun 2, 2009 at 7:05 pm
He’s 80. He probably longs for what auto makers have denied us for years… some chrome. I betcha if it was a classic car he wouldn’t have trimmed it up like that.
-
Besides, it’s a Camry for God’s sake. It’s the vehicular equivalent to Tofu. Sure, the adornments are circa beaterz.com but he’s not gonna live much longer and still has an interest in cars, maybe even a little appreciation for what youth are doing with (to?) their rides.
-
I think he deserves a little bit of a break, maybe a kind warning to go no further at the most.

they should make it illegal to sell rice in the usa. why do people do this. i bet he doesnt even know what rice is given his age. he prob just thinks it “looks cool” or rad or the bee’s knees or whatever old people say. lol
