What about Toyota's Camry in Nascar next year . Hey maybe in 2008 Honda will bring in an Accord. That would be kinda cool I might watch it then.

NASCAR, just like F1, only worse in every way.

Ferrari really cleans up in F1. Damn, most popular, second in the const. champ, and a $70 mil smaller budget than the highest. Cool.

F1 ftw. That takes skill and percision. NASCAR is just drafting and passing. Kinda like the highway only 2-3 times faster. Only good part is the crashes.

Toyota has by far become the most boring manufacturer of cars (aside from the usual boring companies).

*> Nascar. I really don't understand how people can watch cars drive in a circle for hours. At lest put obstacles in their way or something....
