I seriously don't remember the Toyota car at the Nationals last year. I'm so done with motorsports.

Technically a ricer vehicle is any vehicle produced from an asian or japanese manufacturer. That is because a main part of their economy comes from rice production, hence the name ricer.

driving 'rice' and being a 'ricer' are two different terms in my dictionary.

Uhhh I dont know about you, but thats all I see on the road, and once I hit the Sarasota city line, all the cars I see become BMWs and Lexus'...
haha, "That's all I see..." Really? You drive around or live in a Toyota dealership parking lot their bud, cause I'll be damned if I havn't seen a Toyota pulling a hay trailer, or the two Chevy's and one Nissan in my driveway plus the two chevy's at my parents' house. Holy hell! Toyota make those! Dude, do you seriously get paid by Toyota's advertising dep't to spue all this SHIT out? I hope so, otherwise...

Toyotas are more American than most "American cars" are nowadays.

NASCAR has nothing to do with "stock" cars any more. They are very few steps away from becoming a spec series. It's all about 190mph billboards anymore.

The are rumors Honda may get involved in the near future.

All of this is coming from a redneck/hillbilly with a Chevrolet Nextel Cup type drivetrain in a Mazda RX7

No I'm not getting paid to "spue" this shit out...and you must not leave your driveway and get out into traffic if you dont see any Toyotas, or take into concideration how far away from you I live

Toyota doesnt make a good enough truck to compete with the new F150 or Titan...its a damn decent truck, but its on an older chassis then anything out there but the Dodges..no WAY its not as common because its not competitive! You'd really have to live in redneckville or out of a city to not see many Toyotas out there..once actual roads stop, you wont find many Toyotas anymore.

I've left you alone when others were busting your balls, I've stood up for you, I thought it was hilarious when everyone wanted to buy the cars you had after saying you'll never get one, etc. etc. but this has got to stop. Why on Earth are you so infatuated with these cars????

Just because I see them everywhere means I'm infatuated with them?

Just because they are the most boring, slowest, gayest cars on the road doesnt mean they arent interesting. I'm an engineer...I like the engineering portion of the car. Only 2% of the current car market is directed to sports cars, which is what we all on this site love and come here to share our hobby with...but theres no money in it, and there's more to life than speed...most people prefer luxury, smoothness, gas mileage etc. that the salesperson scams to you, not how fun or fast it is from point A to B. They just build a great car, but more importantly have an incredibly stable and profitable future

My goal is to be a Toyota engine engineer and bring back the oomph factor. I love my car more than anything else and how it represents Toyota of the 80s, but when their fastest car today is the RAV4...

The biggest reason however is that I have no girlfriend and absolutely no life.
