Ziptie's come in handy when a prostitute gets mouthy or reluctant

I like people who BUY a 10 sec car and then brag about it. Thats like hiring someone to bang your wife and then bragging about the kid

We had no problems with the steering components. Toyota went hydro/elect on some models and transferred the business to a plant in Texas. After the change to hydro/elect they started having problems. They moved that system to a plant in Virginia and now that plant is closed and that job is moving back to TN. Toyota had some much emphasis on fuel savings I think they rushed things and it cost them big time imo. Before you guys from Texas get offended, I am not saying it was the Texas plant's fault. The system was just not fully proven before Toyota started using it. Just my 2cents.

prioity should be durability and/or reliability
Toyota's priorities were CAFE and reduced mfg cost
