I know this might sound far-fetched, but I really think that Toyota should make a "Houston Rockets" Edition of one of their vehicles, may be the tundra or something. I am not talking about producing thousands and thousands of Rockets edition trucks, but rather make a few, a hundred or so, and sell them only in Toyota dealers here in Houston. They could even make a Toyota Sequoia "Yao Edition" SUV. I guranatee this would be a hot sell for Toyota and show their support for Yao Ming and the Rockets, which in turn will increase their sales throughout China and South East Asia. Just an idea, what do you guys think?
The Rockets Edition Toyota Tundra. Double strength side impact beams, steel roll cage, dual air bags, extra strength bumpers, front impact rack, and a four cylinder engine...
They already have one... Here is a review from Car and Driving (the lane) magazine: The new Houston Rockets Edition Toyota Tundra performed great around town...out on the road however it just isnt among the elite in its class. Acceleration tests show that is gets off to a quick start, but has trouble keeping up with the pack over the long haul. This could be due to the fact that the Rockets Edition is the only Toyota truck that comes standard with no clutch. Braking tests were a different story. The Rockets Edition shined in this department and always managed to stop well short of expectations This truck looks rugged, sophisticated, and smooth on the surface...however, you soon realize that like all trucks, it provides occupants with a pretty bumpy ride. A long trip in the Houston Rockets Tundra reminds us of a roller coaster ride at Astroworld.
THe Yao Edition SUV wouldn't get good gas mileage. It would be able to move smoothly, but the shocks would be too weak to handle any sort of rough treatment. Worst of all, the Yao SUV only comes in automatic and not stick-shift. But buyers of the YAO SUV will get a complimentary Colin Pine Moped. The Pine Moped looks really cute, but it definately won't get the ladies. The Francis 2000X Sports Car can really zoom, zoom, zoom. It can turn corners like none-other. Unfortunately, the car only seats one person, and the computer system inside often malfunctions, causing the car to drive off the road or into a bunch of other cars or off a ramp. Deep down inside, the Francis 2000X thinks it's the General Lee or KnightRider, when it's really an imitation best used for drag races. The Moochie Bug is just what it is. A bug. Does Herbie The Racer ring a bell? The original model came with dark, thick, sheep skin seats, but the designers decided to go for the smooth, bare leather interior this time around. Comes without air conditioning. Model believed to be jinxed, as it often breaks down in run-down, crime infested areas. Also has no power-steering. But the single, best quality is it's sound system. The Moochie Bug is fully loaded with the loudest speakers. The Eddie Griffen Pimp Mobile: This car was designed after the much acclaimed Snoopdaville. Unfortunately, an inventory cann't be given, because the prototype was pulled over by the police and impounded for illegal modifications. The Cato Hummer Good reliable car for the outdoors. Previous model got dusty very quickly and easily and burned gas way too quickly, thus making it extremely cost efficient. New model improved on all faults, though the car is much slower than the more premioum hummers on the market. Not suitable for racing. Cato Hummer a favorite among demolition derby drivers. The John Amaechi Surbaban Van Takes up lots of space in the parking lot, and lots of middle-aged moms have taken it for a ride. The two-door Boki **Model still not completed. Still waiting to see how the Pike Bike does in the market, as well as the Jackson Sedan.
let's see.... drives crappy with no fluid motion. uhm let's see great brakes. basically looks good on paper. Has potential to be a great car but just doesn't cut it. completely based on the rockets.
oh yes we forgot really nice comfortable "state of the art" seats but because of this feature it'll be over priced.
Attention to all owners! You must wear your seatbelt, the vehicle will TURNOVER if any pressure is applied!
I like the rockets, but i hate toyotas, i hate the name toyota center, it sounds like a big dealership, the only toyota I would consider driving is the supra, and they don't make it anymore.
