    Back when I used a PC I used Mozilla/Firefox browser. Now I'm on my iPhone or iPad 99% of the time. All the adds were pulled last night, as the whole thing was a farce.

    The thing that made be think it was for real was the fact that however or what ever they did, was a pretty regional type ad campaign. Not just Toyota, but Jim Bishop Toyota, Bill Penny Toyota (two closest Toyota dealers) and Crane Pro, another local service. So it appeared to be legit.

    Sock, a little old school trick. Paint those dog bones bright yellow, or even white, so they can be found after a crash like that, if the're thrown about. Lord knows I've picked through grass and walked the track looking for a pitched ones. Another little tip, 000 steel wool the inside of your body (not windows if leaving clear) and wash with dishwashing soap,and you won't have that paint peel I see starting at the noise of your model.
