A True Story

Today, an interesting occurrence happened. My family and I were driving along in our Toyota Tundra when we came to a traffic light. While we were stopped, I looked at the restaurant beside us and there were 5 Toyotas in the parking lot of 6 total vehicles. I thought that was peculiar and noted so to my wife. We turned left and proceeded about 15 yards to the next traffic light. Immediately, a Toyota Tacoma pulls out from a side street. Before I could make an issue of it, a Toyota Highlander pulls up in the lane beside us. As I'm commenting on it, I look in my rearview mirror to see a Toyota Camry just behind us. As I am beginning to think there must be a Toyota Convention in town, we drive on a short distance to the Chinese Restaurant. As we exit the vehicle, my son proclaims "a Toyota" and sure enough there was a Toyota Supra there in all it's splendor.

What an interesting evening.

And now for the rest of the story....

The number of Toyotas really isn't what amazes me. It's the 15 yards between traffic lights!

toyota also had record recalls in the past 2 years.....something like 1.7 million total units recalled....

but when you make 10,000,000,000,000 vehicles a year, who cares right?

Yes, those lights are very close... possibly not even 15 yards. When traffic is heavy, it's a real challenge getting through those lights without briefly blocking the main intersection. Upon getting through those lights, it's only about 40 yards to the next light. There are actually several lights. I would assume the two schools just off the main street would factor in the planning of those lights.
