Panic is already setting in and Toyota hasn't turned a wheel yet. :laugh:

Some of the comments I've been hearing about Toyota in NASCAR are absolutely pathetic. If there are fans who can't stand a company owned by Asians winning in NASCAR, I hope those fans leave the sport.

..I like the part about the south being wrapped up in the American flab, hell they're the ones that wanted to secede and still have the rebel "stars and bars" on state flags....It would be kinda fun watching the NASCAR rules folks and Toyota going at it on a weekly basis.

...and yet the reason quite a few of the teams are there is because the owners own Japanese car dealerships (Hendrick).

I'd be worried if I were NASCAR. Toyota have the money to wipe the floor with them...

But we Aussies are just as concerned about Mitsubishi joining our V8 Supercar championship against Holden and Ford.

I wonder how many of those "'necks" from Georgetown, KY are complaining about how bad Toyota is?

The dimwits in the South Carolina Legislature were going to ban all things French untill they were reminded of the multi-billion dollar investments in manufacuturing Michelin has made in the state.

"manufacuturing" spelled like a real son of the South :gomer:

Someone needs to remind them who owns Dodge now.

What car does Mitsu have that is eligible?

Dunno, but they are interested and apparently want to join as soon as possible. That's all I know.
