That's pretty good. I saw a typical Harley Fag (1) yesterday with the
mandatory black T shirt. In big white lettering on the back, it declared:

"If you can read this, the b*tch fell off"

Nice way to impress people.

For the Toyota experience, I wonder how many of the problems are
occurring in stuff they outsourced. My own experience with Toyota
includes an Echo. It gave me over 240,000 km with no grief whatever.

I traded it in a Ford Ranger, which *IS* giving me grief. The last item
was a failed alternator at 92,000 km. Before that, the tail-gate handle
broke at the pivot point. Turns out the handle is 1/8th inch thick
PLASTIC. Then there are the windows....Warranty repair is next to
impossible to get.
