Aaron + Corolla + Racetrack = Huge Grins

Thursday November 18, 2004
xrs.jpg Philip Powell speculated that the sporty Toyota Corolla XRS would be a great weekend track car. He was right! Today I had the opportunity to drive a variety of cars on a twisty racetrack, under the guidance of the instructors at Fast Lane Racing School. The Corolla XRS quickly emerged as one of my favorites: Very forgiving, thus perfect for a beginner like me, yet still a hoot-and-a-half to drive. Fast Lane teaches on Toyotas; they even gave my fellow journalists and me an orientation ride in a Toyota Sienna, and believe me, you haven't lived until you've circled a high-speed racetrack in a minivan. Thanks, Fast Lane! Check out Phil's review here. -- Aaron Gold
