he’s not the only one we have a troll on here who hates them too.
Buy a toyota keep an American hard working job.
lose your GM , and stop laying obama’s union goons
Cash for clunkers was a rotten deal all around. Why did you defend it?
They won’t go after Ford and I think unions are what are wrong with America among other things. Blind posters as well and people without mirrors since you asked..............LOL
Toyota screwed up and it is sad you guys can’t see it. They knew it and they will pay the price. They will also fix it. In the mean time I don’t care if you changed your mind, but I was going to say what needed to be said. That’s al I can do and a couple people agreed, That’s a win

got to go but it’s been interesting to see someone who signs up to says he hates Toyota, says this is a liberal board, thanks obama etc etc etc.
very interesting but go to go and sleep and just hope obama’s million strong civilian security force which will match the military isn’t coming down here and surrounding my house tonight
EEK
Who builds Fords 4 cyl and v6 motors?
Thanks for the ping!
Didn’t I’ll wait for collaborating evidence again…….Ironically enuff I got in a message board debate with equally blind posters when it came about. They too were supposed “car guys” telling me I was stupid for saying it was bad. They told stories about how I’m in the minority and they propped up all kinds of stories about great Toyotas’ ooopps wrong argument, anywhooooo…………
Now here you re saying I defended it. Good stuff.

Even from DECADES ago, I remember the standard comment by FBI agents:
“The FBI doesn’t comment about ONGOING investigations.”
In other words, the FBI would neither confirm, deny, or simply comment
about a block-buster situation.
Well, after reading this short article, I guess the FBI doesn’t
comment about CRIMINAL investigations.
But apparently are pleased as punch helping out Government Motors,
The Lord Messiah Obama, the UAW, etc.
This is a SAD day.
And I pray a soon-to-retire FBI agent will tell us if Toyota needed
this sort of high-profile raids...of it it was just “kabuki theater”
like tomorrows “Healthcare Summit” choreographed by Obama’s minions.
That had stony faces when asked to comment on how “The Run-Through”
they’d just finished went.
(as seen in FOX’s “Griff” trying to get some sort of comment out
of Obama’s shock troops).
oh nearly forgot
a win is not that a win is getting rid of the Marxist muslims appeasing phony out of the white house along with his goon squad and then hopefully seeing the MSM close down for good so we do not have to pout up with their lies and obama crap
Our Kenyan president is a communist goon illegal alien, and he can kiss my white @$$.
Did they break any glass windows?

Bingo
I have been noticing a lot of these type of deals on the Guns and Computer sides of the house. The BATF has had some major raids of gun makers lately were they just walked in and took everything. This has been going on the computer side since the 80’s.
I notice that too, Obama is going to have somebig problems down the road from this. I wonder how the Japanese media is going to cover this in the morning?
Of course it does not change, even though Adolf Hitler had BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen and others under his grip.
And he didn’t raid VW when a Rabbit attacked him, either.
Listen, allow me too apologize. I have NOT endeared myself to anyone and I did sign up to speak against Toyota. I’m very much amazed by Obama and this “new” America, but it has been coming slowly for 50 years. The only highly competent, God fearing man that has sat the white House in that time is RR. I’m actually fond of the Bush’s but they were no RR. They got a bit of a bad rap, but still.
As for our country, it is coming and it is Biblical. Maybe that’s why I’m not that shocked or bent way out of shape by it all. It has been prophesied and it is what it is. I voted for McCain, but I didn’t care for his politics either.
As for Toyota, the problem is as good as Toyota was, they got fat and the media let them. You guys are screaming a left win agenda, but in reality they got huge positive press for years either explicit or complicit. There have been some fairly serious Honda problems in recent years as well (incidentally they aren’t near as arrogant and I don’t have as big an issue with them) yet it was 3rd or 4th page news. Same as Toyota. You guys are shocked because this is all new to you. It isn’t to me. It has taken 4, 5 and 6 years to come out because for a long time they were the media darlings. Their quality has slipped for years as they chased GM. You guys can deny it all you want, but anyone but Toyota would have been long buried. No way it takes this long for Ford to be on the firing squad. So now you tell me Obama is anti-Toyota............could be and I don’t care. They got their day in the sun. We have been on them for years, but no one noticed until very recently. We passed them or equaled them in quality ratings 2 years ago, yet all the Toyota propaganda was still there. The media helped to bury GM, it is now fitting that they turn their gaze on Toyota.
Forgive me for being a little jaded. They no longer make a drastically better car and it is time people knew. I have never said Toyota wasn’t better at a time, and I acknowledge that. You guys need to acknowledge that the media has lambasted the domestics for years, while Toyota got a free pass. Guess what............now they don’t And I’m ok with that. It doesn’t make me a troll, or a democrat it only makes me human.
