Looks like a regular R.V. doesn't it? ... Weil just keep telling Santa that... "I just want "this regular old R.V."
Well let's go take a look at it in more retail... Shall we?
THE BED ROOMS!
THE BATHROOM! 
THE FRONTROOM
THE T.V. ROOM
THE DRIVER'S SEAT
"THE CAR GARAGE!" - Yes... I said "CAR GARAGE" 
So... What do you say?... Do you want one for the Holidays?
(I hope the car is included!)
Speeding Racecar
Speeding… Driving very fast!
Feeling the power, having a blast.
Put the foot to the floor.
NOS… you fly even more.
Your view in front is clear;
to the sides it’s a mere.
Total blur on ether side,
turbo engines… Open wide!
Your heart pounds harder,
as your racecar speeds even farther.
In your mirror there is just dust,
as you feel your engine thrust.
Taking each corner, straight or bend,
till this race comes to an end.
There it is! Not that far away!
Soon you will have a glorious day.
NOS just one more time,
To finish first across the finish line.
Speeding: Your racecar goes so fast,
that all other racecars; you have past.
And the goal is set!
Across the line was met.
But right by your tail was another car.
That came out of nowhere across the bar.
Who won? You can’t see…
till the officials say, “It’s me!”
And the winner is you!
Now wake up! Your dream is through!

Hate commitment? Like having the latest and greatest stuff? If so, leasing a car makes sense for you.
As nice as leasing is, it can be tricky to find the best deal. To help you shop, we've compiled some of the best lease deals for March. If you don't see one that works for you, contact a dealer to see what leases they can offer you. But, keep in mind that most car companies are no longer in the dire straights they were in last summer and fall. While there are some great leases out there, the heyday of phenomenal car deals is pretty much over.
In addition to reviewing the best lease deals that carmakers are offering, you may want to check out this month's best car deals for cash back and financing offers. Here are the top lease offers:

Toyota has some of the best leases this month, including a RAV4 for just $169 per month for 36 months.
BMW. BMW is offering some 2010 3-Series and 1-Series leases for under $400, depending on model and trim.
GM: General Motors is offering a number of low-mileage leases on new Buicks. While mileage is limited to about 1,000 miles per month on these leases, the payments are pretty limited as well.

Mailing of Notification Letters to Affected Owners Begins Today Many Toyota Dealers Extending Hours, Hiring Additional Technicians to Complete Repairs for Customers Quickly and Conveniently TORRANCE, Calif., February 5, 2010 – Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) U.S.A., Inc., today announced that Toyota dealers nationwide have received the parts, information and training they need to fix accelerator pedals in recalled Toyota Division vehicles, and that repairs on involved vehicles have begun. The actual repair requires about 30 minutes of work. The company also announced that it has begun mailing letters to owners of recalled vehicles to let them know when to bring their vehicles into a dealership. Owners will only receive a letter if their vehicle is involved in the recall. Upon receipt of a notification letter, owners will be asked to contact a local Toyota dealership to schedule an appointment to have their vehicle fixed. “Nothing is more important to us than the safety and reliability of the vehicles our customers drive, and we are determined to live up to the high standards people have come to expect from Toyota over the past 50 years,” said Jim Lentz, president and Chief Operating Officer, TMS. “Everyone at Toyota is focused on making this recall simple and trouble-free for our customers,” he said. “We’re working hard to ensure that our dealers have the resources and support they need to make sure our customers get their cars fixed quickly,” Lentz added. “The parts have been shipped, the dealers are trained, and they are already making the repairs. Many of our dealers are working extended hours – some 24/7– and adding service technicians and other staff to complete the recall campaign as conveniently as possible. I appreciate the efforts that our dealers are making to take care of Toyota owners.” Toyota’s engineers developed and rigorously tested a solution to address the potential for sticking accelerator pedals that is both effective and simple. A precision-cut steel reinforcement bar will be installed into the accelerator pedal assembly on affected vehicles, thereby eliminating the excess friction that has caused pedals to stick in rare instances. Toyota Dealers Going Above and Beyond to Take Care of Customers, Rebuild Confidence and Trust Toyota dealers across the country are taking extra steps to support customers during this recall. Many Toyota dealers will offer extended service hours, and some are planning to stay open 24 hours a day until all customer vehicles have been fixed. Others are adding greeters to their service drives, dedicating body shop capacity to expedite repairs, providing free car washes and oil changes, increasing owner communication and providing complimentary maintenance service, among other customer-focused activities. To support these efforts, Toyota is sending checks of between $7,500 and $75,000 to its dealers in acknowledgement of the additional costs they are assuming to make it easier for customers to have the necessary repairs done quickly and conveniently. About the Recall to Address Sticking Accelerator Pedals On January 21, Toyota announced its intention to recall approximately 2.3 million select Toyota Division vehicles equipped with certain accelerator pedal mechanisms that may, in rare instances, mechanically stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position. Toyota vehicles affected by the recall include: Separately from the recall for sticking accelerator pedals, Toyota is in the process of recalling vehicles to address rare instances in which floor mats have trapped the accelerator pedal in certain Toyota and Lexus models (announced November 25, 2009), and is already notifying customers about how it will fix this issue. In the case of vehicles covered by both recalls, it is Toyota’s intention to remedy both at the same time. Detailed information and answers to questions about issues related to these recalls are available to customers at www.toyota.com/recall and at the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331.

No Lexus Division or Scion vehicles are involved in these actions. Also not involved are Toyota Prius, Tacoma, Sienna, Venza, Solara, Yaris, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Highlander hybrids and certain Camry models, including Camry hybrids, all of which remain for sale.
Further, Camry, RAV4, Corolla and Highlander vehicles with Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) that begin with "J" are not affected by the accelerator pedal recall.
In the event that a driver experiences an accelerator pedal that sticks in a partial open throttle position or returns slowly to idle position, the vehicle can be controlled with firm and steady application of the brakes. The brakes should not be pumped repeatedly because it could deplete vacuum assist, requiring stronger brake pedal pressure. The vehicle should be driven to the nearest safe location, the engine shut off and a Toyota dealer contacted for assistance.
