Toyota - A True Story

Postby pastorables » September 17th, 2008, 3:10 pm

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. :shock: 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. 8)

What an interesting evening.

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

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

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. :? :D 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.
