I was just reading a press release where RPM may be going to Toyota after their contract with Chrysler is up.

Know whatcha mean pastor Ken, but I read where Chrysler had not paid any of its Sprint cup teams since April...........what, with the bankruptcy and all.........and those 'Cup teams go through money like nobody's business. If Toyota will take (fund) RPM, I'm sure they'll be more and happy to make the big switch.
I am fully aware of all this guys, but gee not an American car manufacturer! Maybe he should look at Ford, they are the only ones not filing and becoming part of the flagship car company, Obama Motors of the big 3 makers.Really, it is not that big of a deal who they go with anymore, as we all know that the days of American thunder in the autoworld has passed.No more Pontiac, and their muscle, no more big blocks chevys, no more of Ransom Olds and his 442's and W-30 "hairy" Hurst Olds. No more Plymouth mopar power houses.It is sad that the government wants us all to ride around in little "smart" cars, that look like they need a mowing deck under them, or a place on the back for your golf clubs.Have a great one all,Pastor Ken
All Of You Are Right But Thank The Good Lord For RacersReunion
Buy American !!!and we wouldnt be talking about this!
Lets pull a Micheal Waltrip, that one year in 2006 he ran without factory support, there were no car manufacture logos on his car, just Napa,55, and the other little sticker behind the tires. Gillettes employees build the engines, we race the cars, no toyota then.
P.S I could go for a good 1954 american made Hudson Hornet or a Carl Keikhefier Mercury Outboard about now.
The way the country is being run right now .I wouldn't be surprised if Nancy Pelosi, Reed ,Dood,Franks, and Obama made Nascar race Hybrids soon.They are taking everything else away its only a matter of time. Or we will be taxed for each minute we watch a race,to pay for our new Budget.
