Toyota getting Sportier?

Do you remember the Toyota Supra? How about the old Toyota Corolla? Not the front wheel drive fuel economy one of today, rather the drifty rear-wheel drive one of yesteryear?

Since then Toyota hasn't really produced anything capable of even coming close to filling the shoes of the once mighty Supra.

Now though, they might be on the right track.

Winter carnundrum

Winter takes its toll. Photo credit thetruthaboutcars.com.
It is now, in Canada at least, the middle of winter and despite all the snow and ice, people still need to get around the city.

Some switch over to public transportation, but it can be hard to make the change from the convenience and greatness of a car, to the bus.

I could go on and on about how much better cars are than buses, trains, walking, or even biking which some hardcore environmentalists continue to do even in the -30 degree weather. I could talk about how you can listen to your own music without having the yabo sitting in front of you blasting his "beats" drowning out your modestly volumed iPod, or the fact that in your own car you control the smells that come aboard.

I could spend a lot of time ripping on the bus, but today it's going to get off easy.

There is different group of people that deserves a tongue-lashing today. And they already know who they are.
