    What does it matter? If you can't reliably operate a slotted screw & related driver (which is apparently what your complaint is all about), a slotted bolt would obviously present an equal hinderance to you. However, perhaps you're right - we should make greater allowances for Canadians when designing products. :D

    LOL. By the way, Peter, the engine for your truck was likely built right here in Huntsville at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama (TMMAL) plant.
