Get On The G-TourYou just may still have time to shirk your responsibilities and join us on the G-Tour to the Gravity Games. C'mon! Don't be a wuss. We're road-tripping from Peabody, Massachusetts, and Milford, Connecticut (depending on which Launch Site you choose to join) to Providence, Rhode Island, the home of the Gravity Games. If you don't know what the Gravity Games are, allow us to explain: For eight days in July (15-23), Providence is taken over by the craziest alternative-sport athletes and fans for a sports festival beyond compare. And admission is free. In addition to the competitions, there is also an interactive village with all kinds of obstacles for spectators to grind, jump, and tail-whip on, around, and off. And the whole thing is televised on NBC. Pretty cool event.
And we're caravanning there with all the Super Streeters we can gather on Saturday, July 15. Helping us get there are Boston Acoustics, Meguiar's, BFGoodrich, and Drivewire.com. On the G-Tour, you'll be able to check out the BFGoodrich rig and the company's Scorcher T/A project car, the manufacturing facility, and project cars from Boston Acoustics, and the latest products to make your car shine from Meguiar's. The first 400 G-Tour participants will also receive (for free!) T-shirts and cool promo stuff, plus special preferred G-Tour parking for the day at the Gravity Games when we roll into Providence Saturday afternoon. Once there, we'll set up for a show-and-shine where BFGoodrich will be giving out an award for the Best Ride on BFG Tires, and we'll watch the street luge qualifying rounds. Then we'll probably take off to go back to the office, but you can stick around and catch all the alterna-sport happenings since the eight-day event is absolutely free.
So if you're dying to go, check out www.nira.com or call the shops listed for info. You can also go to www.gravitygames.com to learn more about the Gravity Games. See you there!

Armchair Shopping From TRDHave you ever been sitting around watching the dust collect on your toes thinking, "I wish there were some way I could browse through the latest sport parts from TRD and bask in glossy photography of the most popular TRD-equipped cars on the show circuit, all from the comfort of my La-Z-Boy recliner." Well, guess what, you can! Yes. TRD recently released its new Sport Parts catalog for 2000, which includes performance, aesthetic, and functionality components for the new Celica, as well as parts for existing models like the Camry, Supra, and MR2. Basically, inside the covers of the Sport Parts catalog dwells everything you need to dress up and soup up your Toyota, no matter which Toyota you own. And TRD has also included a price sheet with details about the parts and current retail pricing, so there's no guessing necessary.
To get the catalog delivered right to your recliner, call 800/688-5913. For the low low price of $7, you'll get the TRD Sport Parts catalog plus the TRD/Toyota Motorsports Racewear and Racing Collectibles catalog all to yourself. There's even a mail-in discount coupon for $7 off any $25 purchase from the Racewear and Racing Collectibles catalog.
Once you decide in the privacy of your own home which of the TRD sport parts you want, high-tail it to your local Toyota dealer and pick them up. Conveniently, TRD parts have always been available at Toyota dealers across the country, but soon you'll be able to purchase TRD products directly from its secure Web site, www.trdusa.com. Tricking out your Toyota can be as easy as dragging that La-Z-Boy over to the computer for a little e-commerce action.
