CNN Money/Autos contacted me to do a story on my Yaris.
I was contacted via phone by a Senior Writer for CNN Money/Autos, Peter Valdes-Dapena, saying that he would like to do a story on my Yaris. He saw my video and was very interested in getting to know more about it. I gotta email him some pics of me and my car and some more info on my Yaris. I'm hoping that either Toyota Corp or a local Toyota dealership recognizes me after this story.

Sweet.

I wonder what type of segment your story will be included in. Surely they won't make an exclusive on CNN. A million miles probably would though.

Well, keep us posted about what happens and let us know to look for the airing if you make on.

Likely a story on how people are still loyal to Toyota.
