    So I work across the street from a rail yard that ships Toyotas and as they were getting ready to unload the Tacoma off the truck it exploded. It was so crazy! So far it looks like 2 damaged Tacos on the truck and possibly more could be damaged in the parking lot. Just though I would share this with all. More pics and info to follow if I can get more.[​IMG][​IMG]
