I have very good reason to hate them. If you would like we could start a toyota hate thread to talk about it. This thread isn't the place.

If its a personal reason...then sure, hate them with all your heart. I feel the exact same with Hyundai, I was screwed by that crap company in many ways. I just wish to make sure people just don't hate on a company because its not American.

Where are my haters at? (p.s. he took the keys and said "thank you, thank you.")

Exactly...some people just find the need to put negative attention on others for the dumbest reasons.

It's not going to be the same reaction when you hand the keys to a corvette to a millionaire that just won the super bowl minutes ago, as it would giving it to a middle class worker who couldn't afford one otherwise.

In other words, I thought it was funny.
I'm sure he was more interested in celebrating and finding his wife and his baby than listening to Dan Patrick explain that it was a Centennial Edition Grand Sport Corvette. And I'm sure he wasn't expecting the keys...Where's he supposed to put them, he doesn't have pockets!!

Plus he did say thank you, so that whole BS is just being blown out of proportion by Manning haters.

Why not just donate it to your favorite charity to raffle off and raise money for the charity?

I saw it live that night. I have always been a Dan Patrick fan so I was a little peeved that Eli couldn't at least give Dan and the fans a little more patience and time. After all it's about the fans NOT the players.

That being said I understand the excitement.

Admittedly, I can't stand the Mannings. Yes they are clean but they are bullies and people just ignore it. Coddled, titty baby, bullies. It showed with Peyton and Elis treatment (with the help of daddy) of the Chargers and it shows with how the media treat them and what get's ignored as far as class and sportsmanship. Class isn't shown when you win but when you lose.

BUT........... he wasn't slighting the car or purpose. He was just caught up with his team and family.

Eli didn't even listen to the first question. Gave the same bullshit answer that they all do. I also think he had a hard time hearing since Dan was on the stadium speakers.

Just watched it again on youtube.

Eli didn't do anything wrong there. He answered all the questions and I think he just got tired of the commercial that Dan Patrick was giving to offer him the car.

Oh, and once again nice to see GM give away a new car to a bazillionare. Kid Rock got one too.
