One week out of the year, the entire car industry pulls their vacuum-sealed bag of clothes labeled “If I Ever Sell My Soul to Join a Country Club” from under the bed and descends upon , ready to walk around and nod in approval of cars that, alone, are worth more money than they will amass in their lifetime.

You do not need to experience such things. You do not need to see millionaires and billionaires scowling at each other on a golf course, from behind their Delahayes and Bugattis and Hispano-Suizas. You have better things to do with your time, like hoarding personal resources ahead of the apocalypse.

(The vintage racing at is, however, good.)

No more, says the humble Toyota Corolla, its sub-$20,000 base price a stain on the cardigans of the wealthy. We need to bring this week back to the people.

But go ahead and ignore the Corolla in favor of whatever Millenary Anniversary supercar is debuting this week at Pebble Beach, designed to operate exclusively on social status and fruity cocktails. It’s the newest evolution in zero-emission vehicle technology, because the rich care about the environment, too.

After all, the Corolla doesn’t need you and your fancy friends. It’s the car of the people, for now and forever.
