Re: How many have you seen?
Saw my first one on the freeway today. It was red and was heading North on the 405 right after the Harbor Fwy interchange. I have seen a number of TCH parked, but this was the first one I had seen on the freeway. Seems like I see 07 camries constantly, at least 2 a day.

Hi Ken,
I go to the South Bay area every once in a while; if I see another Blue TCH in that area, chances are pretty good that you will be the owner... until the Blue TCH club get more members.

I want everyone to know it's a hybrid. Without some kind of ID, people might think I was one of those idiots driving cars that get 22 mpg, who care not a whit for the melting ice caps.
Want to send me one of the badges? The TCH needs one like it has on the sides on the back-left, to blanace the HSD emblem, which is way too small.

I am posting 39 mpg this week and I could care less about the badges.. Truth be told, I do have a little 'SMUG' factor going especially since those of us 'geniuses' who purchased a TCH can grin as gas prices jump over $3.00!.
Loving it!

Re: How many have you seen?
I saw only my third Camry today, still have not seen another TCH on the road. Ironically they've all been Titanium like mine. It's possible that two of the sightings were the same car, but today's had to be different as it had a North Carolina license plate (others were Virginia).

Re: How many have you seen?
Saw my first TCH today, a Mag Grey with spoiler in my own neighborhood. I've seen a lot of 2007 models, mostly SE or LE but this was the first TCH. I was walking two dogs and she was avoiding a school bus so no chance to try the secret hand signal.
