This really happened an hour or so ago. I was at a red light, glanced over to the car....

....in the other lane. The license plate was CORONA!!

First thing I said to my wife was "well, that guy doesn't have to worry about being carjacked or his car being stolen."

After the light turned green I thought, DAMN, I should have taken a picture.

Fortunately for Toyota they discontinued it/replaced it with the Camry a couple decades ago.
