// CarsWe don't agree with them on everything, said Josephine Cooper, the vice president of government relations for Toyota Motor North America.

// CarsIt was U.S. Rep Joe Knollenberg, R-Bloomfield Hills, who created the billboard. It features Schwarzenegger's photo and it drew widespread attention.

// CarsWe've all seen the commercials about the line of Dodge cars with available Hemi motors. If you, like me, are under the age of 40, it's likely you also had no idea what the fuss is about. Short answer, it's an old muscle car engine that made Mopar famous. Longer answer, it's a modern day monster that can burn you off the line, tear down a house, or just make your commute an ounce more bearable… did I say ounce? I meant foot-pound.
