We can only hope they were texting their congressmen. All of this recall mayhem has really become the torque of the town.

Mark it is good you have reached the silverback years. Silverbacks have a good sense of self preservation. I'm sure your Tundra has lot of nannies o keep you safe. I'd buy one if I can get the donut nannie. Yep hands you a donut when needed. Although I hear there is a bad batch of donut nannies out there. They hand you sushi instead of a donut. I guess Toyota will change the name of that to the fisherman's bait option & dodge another recall.

I think I should come clean here. Back when the earth was still cooling I too had accelerator & brake issues with a Toyota. Every time I came to a corner the brakes slammed on & the throttle jammed closed. Dammed near got run over from behind.

Chuck, where is this picture taken. It almost looks like the topof the 'S"'s at Mid-Ohio if you're running the track backwards

Mark that shot was taken at the keyhole looking back toward turn 1. The grandstand to the left is at the end of the main straight. The photographer was at track level using a telephoto lens so the perspective is an unusual view.

We are forgetting the most important questions:

1. Did you win?
2. What are the two cars in the background?

I don't know what's funnier in that pic... Chuck in a balaclava or the bonnet pins on that 'Yota.

Funny maybe, but a hell of a lot of fun.

Allen, if I'd have know that those pins were good for 5 pony's I'd have used a dozen of them.

No 2.5 each plus 5 for the headgear Unfortunately they deduct 3 hp due to wind resistance

Those were wind tunnel tested. No drag & zero lift. Big HP for sure.
