Well, it used to be in the good old days that there were so few Toyotas on the road, and they were usually driven by good drivers. Then they caught on from us owners bragging about our cars, and the unwashed masses began buying them, and Toyota became the world's #1 automaker, so naturally people trying to get away from GM money pits are going to go with a more reliable car and bring their lousy driving habits with them. What I can't understand is your jealousy about Toyota. Can't afford one? You can't say they aren't good cars. I've had Volvos and *A* VW (NEVER again!) and the Toyotas are hands down the most easily maintained and reliable cars I've ever owned.

It makes me hungry. ;) Weren't those streets meant for carriages? Winding roads are good. It's what makes Europe's road interesting, they say. So we can not only blame Toyota, but straight boring roads. Toyota only took advantage of them.

It's what makes Europe's road interesting, they say. =============== Boston's streets are interesting, as long as you weren't counting on north being north and south being south. If you can't navigate by the sun or the stars, you're phuqued in Boston. |
