After last year’s running of the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race with such B-, C- and D-list stars as Drew Lachey, John Salley and the executive producer of Ratatouille, we were astonished to see the list of celebs that organizers were able to wrangle for this year’s race.

As is de rigeur for these special editions, the R.S. 6.0 will get its own paint color, “Absolutely Red” (it’s a standard color [...]
The 2008 SEMA Show ended last week, but for some inexplicable reason, Toyota forget to mention this little diddy that was supposedly tucked away in a corner of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
