And his auto insights have shown the Toyota problem is really GM's fault, along with Toyota owners who have lied before Congress. I would go so far as to say he is the world's foremost expert. And he has been kind enough to bring his Toyota insights to the tech group to educate all of us who do mechanical work on cars. I can't tell tell you how much we appreciate that.

Well, they really did it. Toyota cars are now extremely exciting.

Don't mention it. Any time you need any help, you just ask me. I'd be glad to help you out. You do know what a car is, right?
