Whatever...

I think it's funny how they talk about the Toyota Camry being a "foreign brand" when it is the only model in CUP that is built in the USA!

In any case it's a better choice than this:

Yea, I thought they had a Camry Hybrid do a race earlier this year.

I thought that was one of those silly ass smart cars when I first saw it Sunday. Good job Chevy, keep making cars that nobody wants.

Yeah, those Toyotas are terrible. That's why Toyota leads the points right now.

I'm sorry it was one of the Toyota Parade vehicles used in driver intros for the All Star race that actually broke down: http://jalopnik.com/5261006/toyota-hybrid-breaks-down-towed-off-track-before-nascar-event
They used a Camry Hybrid for the 600 Pace car it was sidelined by a flat tire.

I have a Toyota... I cuss about it from time to time but, for the most part, it runs. Not to mention, unlike GM and Furd, I can actually get parts from Brandywine for an affordable price.
