It's easy and better than the "Which U2 Song Are You?" quiz (which Lothar took and scored "Gloria").

OK so there seems to be a lot of hubbub in the halls of Congress over Toyota safety and who knew what and when. A few simple questions will clear up everything.

1. Do you think the average Joe gives a tinker's damn about Toyota?

Answer: No. The average Joe would never buy a Japanese car because Uncle Earl fought at Guadalcanal.

2. Do you think the above average, intelligent and educated American gives a tinker's damn about Toyota?

Answer: No. The above average, intelligent and educated American drives a Honda.

3. So why are elected officials in the US Government making such a big deal out of this when the Ford Pinto, the Chevy C-20 and the Chrysler K-car had worse problems?

Answer: Because the US Government currently has a controlling interest in Chrysler Corp and General Motors? Hmmm?

Quote from Bad Taste: Shoulda bought a Holden, Frank.

People who drive Toyota's dont give a fuck about cars. They should have their licences revoked, because if you dont care about cars, you dont care about driving, and if you dont care about driving, then you arent going to drive very well. Therefore, Toyota drivers are murderers.

This equally applies to Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Suzuki drivers.

I love my Xterra. Fuck off.

Yep, I love my Fortuner. And the nice thing is, because it wasn't built in the US, there's nothing wrong with it!

As an American, I have to say just one thing to you, Si ...

Me too, eh.

I have a Toyota; an old one, that I just cannot get rid of ...
1987, 278k miles, 44 MPG, and runs like a top ...

It's a GREAT spare car ...

How much?

I paid $500 for it 12 years ago ...
Never had to put a dime into it (other than, you know) ...

I meant what would you take for it.

I'm not sure ...
I'll think about it ...

Take it to For Sale, already...

This is true.

Actually all of it was true. Particularly the part about redneck Uncle Earl and Guadalcanal. But the fact remains, Honda is small change compared to Toyota. So they are really the only thing that stands between a return on our bailout investment and the total collapse of the US auto industry when the next bubble bursts. I'm thinking about July 20th, when grads hit the streets, schools let out, no one can afford to relocate chasing job opportunity and parents have to stay home for the summer with their kids, and can't afford to vacation anywhere.

Yee-muhfuggin'-haw.

Toyota is trying to compete with Chinese car makers who do no R&D of their own and underpay everyone. Something had to break

Mitsubishi Bombed Pearl Harbor ya fucking twits. Hey, maybe that's why I gave my wife a Spyder.

Mitsu Evo "Zero Fighter"

It's got too much chin.

I gave her one like this



Except in a cool blue/green hybrid color with a new black canvas top .

I think you missed the point of my post...

Bottom right hand corner... the licence plate... I got it!

what prize do I win???

I think you missed the point of my post...

LOL yep, I hardly pay attention to anything these days though.

My friend ran her Toyota into the side of a building the other day because it stopped working.

Well that's just no way to make a building work harder.

When getting ready to buy a car in 2006 i was looking at Hondas and Toyotas. I wanted the compact economy model with reliability, safety cheap price, and gas mileage in mind.
So I was looking between the Honda Fit (first gen) and Toyota Yaris (also first gen). So I did the usual thing. I ordered the consumer reports break down, read a bunch of reports online, watched some videos.
I chose honda. Why? More reliable though not as good gas mileage, more expensive but better interior features but here was the real kicker... the Yaris got REALLY BAD safety ratings... FATALITY LIKELY in 30 mph crash for LH side rear passenger (!!!) Complete death traps.

Unfortunately the FIT was on back order so I got a civic, and talked the bitch down to about the price of a FIT. Win. (Hate the tan interior, though, but I did get it for cheap!)

Last tid bit of info... my friends H&B (if youve been to my house, youve met H&B) paid 20K + for a toyota corolla (a higher class) and while its pretty nice, and spacious the Dash looks like an old game boy from 1988. My point: My car was much cheaper and the dash is pretty nice. In fact when a guy rearended me (LOL ANAL) on tasker street, he came up to my car and said  "Oh man Im so.... HOLY SHIT LOOK AT YOUR DASH!!! FUCKING AMAZING!!!"

2006 Civic


2009 Corolla

Whenever I listen to people brag about their cars, I replace the words "car" or "ride" with "financial imprisonment" inside my head, it's appropriate for most people and makes me chuckle. Now some of my friends have started working for investment banks I do that same when they talk about their jobs or trophy girlfriends.

Not all of us. I don't owe a penny on my truck, though it is getting of the age that it almost constantly needs some small repair. And our Civic is also paid for and other than oil changes is maintenance free at 7 years. But I know what you're saying, I've been where I had to choose between a car payment and shoes.
