Didn’t NASA have a space craft crash on the moon because they of an issue with the metric system?

An old principle Occam's Razor says, "given all the possible explanations, the simplest is often correct."

Obama's Razor: Toyota is competing against government motors. Toyota isn't unionized. Slice them.

Won't it be wonderful when Toyotas are just as safe as the Space Shuttle?

Nasa's safety record is that about 2% of space shuttles blow-up, killing all aboard.

Figuring about 10,000,000 Toyotas on the road in the U.S., that would mean we can look forward to about 200,000 blown up Toyotas.

Funny how Toyota is being trashed in the media just after Soetoro's takeover of GM and Chrysler. Cars have had defects and major recalls in the past but it seems like there's a lot of piling on in Toyota's case.

If I has a few bucks I'd buy 100 shares of Toyota purely as a speculative play and wait for all the hysteria to die down.

The last big scare of this type was the Audi 5000, and that was driver error.

I can picture it now — late-night infomercials selling retrofit Faraday cages for cars, to protect from induced electrical events caused by solar flares!

Now all they need is Algore and a cheesy slogan to sell millions of them to Obama voters and other students of the “liberal” arts!

I wrote pretty much the same to a number of my friends regarding the Toyota problems. This author was too nice - the simplest solution is probably the driver.

In any case, even given NASA’s engineering problems, each and every one of those engineers utilize skills and intellect far, far beyond ANY of the Obamaloon idiots.

After all, the engineers got into college by their grades (not their race), they took hard courses, and passed them.

Following graduation, they actually used their knowledge - and things actually worked.

Consider the Obamaloon’s appalling demonstration of law imbicility during his times away from the prompter. Harvard passed him? Unlikely, methinks a bit of the old liberal quota system was in action there.

See above regarding hard courses and intellect.

the government has an employee policy known as TAD. It is Temporary Area Duty. As in.....

“He is employed at the department in DC, but is now TAD to Hurlbert to conduct the runway concrete tests”

We now have a situation where General Motors engineers are TAD to Houston to go over all the Toyota internal documents to resolve the acceleration problem. Lacking automotive engineers, NASA requests some TAD from General Motors, the auto manufacturing agency of the Federal Government.
