    I heard that if you do have a car made in Japan your lucky, not sure on Tacomas but like hondas and stuff. You know over here if your truck was made on a Friday then your shit was just slapped together cause they are thinking about the weekend, and if your truck was made either monday or Tuesday then your screwed too cause they are all hung over from the weekend lol lol you know them japanese their like precision machines lol
