Funny bit about Toyota wheel-caps
So I got my JDM Toyota wheel-caps in the mail today (thanks CarsonToyota!)
 Nice! But I was too amused by the other side...  It was kinda funny to see the Subaru logo all over the mechanical bits of this car, but to see it on the actual Toyota logo itself? Priceless!

Well considering it's made in a Subaru plant and line, what would you expect? Ever look under the hood of a VW Routan? It's all Chrysler since it's just a re-badged Town & Country made at their Windsor plant. At least the FT86 was a joint development between both, plus Toyota owns a (17% I believe) stake in Subaru so it's really a wash as far as I'm concerned.

I wonder what the weight-savings will be if this car ever manages to shed its emotional baggage from its passive-aggressive parents.

Does that mean the wheels are Subaru sourced I wonder?
