Next thing you know, Americans are going to stop going to NASCAR events because there's Toyotas racing on the track and they may get exposure from when the cars go by.
I'm liking the name of the car used by Team ORECA Matmut for car #10:

Shouldn't we just "Duck and Cover?"
It depends on which side of the pond you're on. On this side, we drop the extra "i" and go for the quicker "A-loo-mih-num" pronunciation. On the European side, it's most often pronounced "al-loo-min-ee-um"

It was on "That Will Buff Out" yesterday
I liked them... Actually I saw one a couple of days ago and started reminiscing about when it was a new car on display in a local mall. The strange thing is that I've never seen one NOT in the yellow and grey colour scheme...

Plus there's the old saying "Bad publicity is still publicity, and all publicity is good publicity". Chrysler probably got more attention because of this f-bomb than they would have on their own with G-rated tweets
...damn nibbles
