I can't believe you guys recommended a Toyota to Ashley! Come on! What about an American truck! Oh yeah, I know, the Toyota is made here but,the money doesn't stay here! How about the most popular vehicle in America: the Ford F150? It's certainly better looking than the Tundra! That thing is Ugly! Oh! I know, you feel bad for Japan because of the earthquake? All of the American car makers are working hard to get back to profitability but, Ford didn't take the bailout and has done a great job as far as quality and their vehicle line is looking better all the time!

I can't believe you guys apparently didn't recognize Dario Franchitti. I'm surprised you actually heard of Ashley Judd. What kind of car guys are you? At least you chose to use Watkins for the backdrop of this Outing Celebreties feature. A real race track, and get rid of that "speedway" *stuff*. This ain't Indian-out-for-us. Yours with very much less respect--- f/Stop Fitzgerald

Dario Franchitti was in the room with Ashley Judd and you DID NOT speak with him. Geez!!!

I assume you were joking about not knowing who Dario is. Hope that she can forgive you! Although Ashley probably loved the fact that you were more interested in her than her four-time Indycar Champ husband. I am a huge fan of the show, keep up the great work.

OK Guys, put down the biased Consumer Reports rag and be the US patriots you should be. I can't believe that you advised Ashley Judd buy a Tundra. Since 1976 I have bought six trucks (two Toyotas, two Dodges, two Fords), all but one new. The two worst were the Toyotas. I drive a lot, >2K/Mo. plus local and pleasure. You should have recommended an F150. I have a 2008, and it is the best truck I have ever owned. BTW, Google "Toyota truck problems."

I was rather ashamed when you guys didn't recognize who Dario Franchitti is. I HOPE you were kidding. He's won the Indy 500 (The Greatest Spectacle in Racing) not once but twice! Aren't you the car guys??????

I thought that was particularly funny. Glad to see that some celebrities do not take themselves too seriously!

Name-dropping, stuck-up, half-baked movie-star. Puhleeze. Keep the calls to us commoners in the future. I LOVED that you pretended not to know her husband. Nyah! Take that Ashley. She can't get any decent press so she shows up to U of Kentucky games and on Car Talk. Blech. And she REALLY needed advice on which truck to buy? Yeah sure.

In defense of Ms. Judd for you barbarians. She mentioned she went to Kentucky - she could have also mentioned her degree is in French literature. The few times I have seen her interviewed she seemed to be a very together woman. With a true spark of humanity - not the self involved flash of the Hollywood crowd. I saw a segment of CNN (I believe) where she was advocating for clean drinking water for the third world. She not only lent her celebrity to the cause but also had a short term solution. A water purification pill/flocculent that would clear and purify turbid water for pennies a gallon. Check the web. Much better than my high buck, prone to clogging water filter. Two thumbs up to Ashley.

I know you guys do not like Chevy, Ford, Chrysler. I sent an e-mail last week about your advice to Ashley that she buy a Toyota Tundra. You guys even mentioned Ford and Chevy pick-ups but for some strange reason could not stomach advising her to get one. It made me sick to my stomach. Ford and Chevy pick-ups are certainly as good as any Japanese truck. I've been listening and enjoying you guys for a good number of years (even though I know you are very biased against the U.S. carmakers) but your advice to Ashley was way off base. She should be driving an American truck, not a foreign one.
