    I would have made them fix it, sued them if necessary, and kept the truck...

    After what that drunk scumbag convicted felon did to my truck five years ago, very little fazes me anymore!

    Well there were plenty of visits to talk to different people at the Dealership over several months, we all agreed on the route of getting a new truck at invoice being the best remedy.

    I think they look ugly, and like 20 states do just fine without them...

    I could honestly care less if police are able to identify who my truck belongs to from both the front and rear!

    I hate the look of the front license plate, it always looks tacked on or out of place.

    Did you get a driver's license there?

    You got that right!

    I still don't have any hummingbirds yet, most years they show up during the first week of April.

    It's very hard to say exactly what percentage or number pf parts come from any one country. For instance, are you going by the part numbers that you can buy through a Toyota Parts department? As an example, there are electronic components made in other countries (resistors, chips, etc.) that go into electronic assemblies that you can buy over the counter, but you cannot buy the components themselves. How would you count that?

    The federal government has regulations that require auto manufactures to state (on the window sticker) the foreign and domestic content in every vehicle. You might want to Google that number. It is not anywhere near the 60% mentioned above though.
