DUB Camry

I guess those DUB wheels added 300 something horsepower and made this thing a little too much to handle.

Looks like it was hit in the rear hard and pushed into a car in front of it (while stopped a light). This is one of my worst fears as a driver because you are helpless in these situations.

Beat me to the punch.
I couldn't imagine front and rear damage otherwise, especially when the rear looks so much worse than the front.
Consequently, it's also one of my biggest fears. I like to give a lot of room up front, but given that I can't see the end of my car and it only weighs 3300lbs, I can only wonder what it takes to push it into the car in front of me...

It sucks that the guy got his car wrecked and it wasn't his fault, but I've seen this car around the neighborhood for about a year and who does the DUB treatment to a Camry? Maybe with the other driver's insurance money those wheels which, oddly are the only intact thing on the car can go on a nicer vehicle.

I'll give you that; damage aside, it's still pretty funny.
Although, you can't really blame him for trying to spice up the epitome of blandness.

Sure you can. For the cost of the Camry & those wheels the owner could have bought something a lot more interesting
