I think that is really great, good find GG!!! Huntsville is a growing town and there is a lot of unique and "strange" things to do there. That is a good move by Toyota in my opinion.
Huntsville is one of the fastest growing cities in Alabama and the country

I grew up in Huntsville and always wished I was somewhere else, lived there 18 years. 5 years in Tuscaloosa, AL for college - just wasn't ready to move on (or graduate) after 4 years. Now I've been in Atlanta 18 years....wish I was back at either place in Alabama! You never know how good you had it!

Good thing people still try the comparison between domestic and "import". Imports? Yeah from Alabama!

Gee, I hope not. So there is now import cars that is built oversea, import cars that is built domestically. Domestic cars that are imported and domestic cars that are built domestically. Boy, I am confused.

Can they use a version of it in NASCAR? I hope Toyota blows their doors off!
(Sorry for the thread hijack but I saw alot of uninformed, almost racist, opinions from NASCAR fans in the news lately. It all centred around the domestic vs. import debate.)

Yeah, even Jack Roush wants Toyota out of NASCAR.
Oh wells, my dealer is going to have a tailgate launch party for the Tundra and sweepstakes to give one away (upto $30k, I'll pay the difference and get a CrewMax). I hope I'm that lucky winner. Then I just have to figure out where I'm going to park that beast living in the city.
