    I live in a huge redneck town but everyone here knows that toyotas are the best which is nice because i see alot of them around and there is always people to go wheeling with. it floods a few times a year in tillamook and usually i can go in deaper water than most other trucks.

    Heres a picture of the town during a flood. if you look closely you can see the roof of a dodge dakota barely sticking out. this is at the shallow end of town also.

    "too bad, deal with it" is my favorite part.

    Whatever bud, good luck with that whole "hate" thing.

    Not TMMI. Aisin. It is a Toyota group company. They make parts for TMMK,TMMI,NUMMI,the Canada plant(can't remember acronym) and others as well. The parent company in Japan is owned by one of Toyoda's kids is the way I take it.

    Yeah the temps may go if prod slows, but why kick the laid off full timers in the nads in the process.....

    there are many other low things they did through this downturn that was unethical buisness IMO, not regulated or monitored by anyone...

    Harden your bark, there are storms on the horizon.
    "Toyota has a large presence in the United States with five major assembly plants in Huntsville, Alabama; Georgetown, Kentucky; Princeton, Indiana; San Antonio, Texas; Buffalo, West Virginia. A new plant slated to be built in Blue Springs, Mississippi has been put on hold owing to the financial crisis that erupted in late 2008. Toyota also has a joint-venture operation with General Motors at New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI), in Fremont, California, which began in 1984, and with Subaru at Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA), in Lafayette, Indiana, which started in 2006. Production on a new manufacturing plant in Tupelo, Mississippi is scheduled for completion in 2010. North America is a major automobile market for Toyota. In these assembly plants, the Camry and the Tundra are manufactured, among others."
