  1. I heard that the new Perterbilt interior/instruement cluster was designed by Lexus. Is Toyota doing contract work now? Perhaps someone misunderstood Lexus-like for Lexus designed.
  2. What meaning for the word "shelved" are you using?
  3. I am not finding anything on the internet about this! Yet?
  4. Your wish is my command.
  5. 5 door corsa article and pictures
  6. Strange word choice. Toyota is into General Aviation and recreational boats.
  7. Oh! That usage of the word! I would have thought that you and your brown shirted friends were using the word incorrectly as -- In -- Dick --Ment as in circumcission of the Jewish dick. I am sure Wagonner will be relieved.
  8. Down 21% for the month of May and sold less than the Tauraus. I suppose that really isn't all that bad, its just that we sometimes declare certain models a success when their sales really aren't any better than something else referred to as a flop. Sorry about butting in where I don't belong.
  9. Bloomberg! that's one of those dam Jew names. They are not going to take kindly to that part where you tell them Wagoneer is selling out GM to the one world power Rothbergs. It would be best if you hide your true agenda.
  10. It works a lot better if you use a trailer for that. Of course I'm just an old guy, so I'm not as smart as you.
  11. My son in law #2 has a black camry with manual transmission. Not a particularily pleasant car.
  12. Melvin Udall:" Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here" from "as good as it gets"
  13. Consumer Reportrs doesn't know squat about refigerators. Seriously!
  14. Saw a recent add on TV here in Honda land (California) and Cevrolet outsells Honda here. NOt GM, but Chevrolet alone. My daughter's friend (16) just got a Honda Accord from her father. She is glad to have anything but told us that defroster doesn't work , the turn signals don't work, and a bunch of other things. He is an electrician! I understand why people buy Toyotas (not me personaly) but why Honda?

    From today's Car connection Ford Issuing New Bonds Ford Motor Co. confirmed it is making a private bond offering that seems to spotlight that the automaker is concerned about its short-term cash reserves at Ford Motor Co. and Ford Motor Credit. Under terms of the offer, which is being made privately, holders of about $2.5 billion in bonds with coupons as low as 4.95 percent coming due this fall can swap them for bonds that pay as much as 10.6 percent. The deal, which will allow Ford to hold on to more of its cash this year, will cost the finance unit an estimated $90 million per year. A Ford spokesperson said the company could not comment about the strategic reason for the bond swap. But analysts say that the only reason a company delays paying off bonds in the near term in favor of paying off debt later at a dramatically higher interest rate is because it is concerned about its cash reserve and cash flow in the near term.

    Toyota hates me

    I somewhat resent that last comment. Those unpleasant ravages of time will come soon enough with out my online acquaintainces rushing me. My first automotive experinece was a new '49 Pontiac fastback with manual transmission and 8 cylinder engine and that's pretty cool.

    Toyota hates me

    full article here Scion is bringing out a new "tuner model" for the tc. It will cost $1400 less than the normal model. It will feature steel wheels, the sunroof won't open, exterior colors will be limited to 4, cheap steering wheel and interior, etc. It is supposed to appeal to kids who seriously want to coustomize them. Obviously it will also appeal to cheap skates like me. Scion doesn't want that to happen. Perhaps I should buy one, get some plaid bermuda shorts, black support socks, and sandals. At 60 years old, 300 pounds and no hair, I will single handidly kill their coolness.
  21. questions and answers about ethanol as a fuel
  22. General comment: We should all do more of this -- letter writing/activism. Specific comment: Wonderful letter. You are a talented writer. I am sorry for the loss of your wife. My hat is off to you having the strength to carry on and move from one factory to the next. You are a "tower of power." Best Regards Ernie Hayman
  23. Maybe the X5 has a motorcycle like cruise control where the throttle is held constant rather than the vehicle speed.
