My wife had a couple of Saturn cars. They were really good.

We both went Toyota eventually.

Her hybrid Camry is doing just fine. It passed 100k recently.

There is a guy around here that has a little basic Toyota truck pushing 400k miles with only routine maintenance.

“There is a guy around here that has a little basic Toyota truck pushing 400k miles with only routine maintenance.”

I am on my third Toyota Tacoma(1988, 1999, 2012).

When I sold the 1988(125k miles) I had two guys call that asked if it would pass inspection. I said, of Course but why? He stated that he would buy Toyota and Datsun/Nissan pickups and ship them overseas. He shipped them to Central America and Asia. Shortly after the war broke out in Afghanistan. All those Taliban guys were riding around in old Toyota and Datsun pickup trucks.

From then on I referred to my truck as “The Officially Vehicle of the Taliban”. I even had a bumper sticker made that said exactly that.

i have a 99 camry that I bought off the local toyota dealer lot in 2011 with 100,465 on the clock.

my kid drives it now, every day...it has 157,650 at last check.

car is old enough to vote...almost as old as the kid driving it. purrs like a kitten. I swapped all cars in my garage to Toyota/Mazda.

I used to work as a quality manager to a GM supplier...this was before they were killing people and trying to hide behind their bankruptcy...

they are the worst company I have ever encountered. ethics, business, etc. EVER.

good riddance to crappy trash. GFY GM
