TheMercenary “Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo” Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Savannah, Georgia Posts: 21,393	I am not sure this is as big a deal as people and the news are making it out to be. Obviously the public is responding as I don't think anyone is buying a Toyota right now. An NPR report stated the other day that over 10 years there have been 19 confirmed deaths from this issue with the acceleration and or brakes. You have a greater risk of being eaten by a bear or struck by lightening. I will be looking for a chance to take my truck down and get a brand new one when they start offering deals to get people to buy again. I would definately buy a Toyota again. Over 95% of them are still on the road after 10 years. Yea, they are still a good auto/truck company. __________________ Anyone but the this most fuked up President in History in 2012!
