I bought shares on a mock stockmarket @ 2.40 a share.. man I wish that was real dough

I bought a pile ever lower in test accounts at my old job. lol.

Added another 1.1 Million cars to Augusts 4.2 mill, plus the 2.3 mill that they just issued.
Sprinkle 56% of the cars Toyota sells yearly in the US...

Toyota just can't seem to get out of their own way. Where I work the next building over is Toyota's New York Region office. Not exactly sure what they do out of there, but it's a huge facility. I can only imagine the conversations going on over there.

:rofl: That was damn funny!

Gotta say, if I owned Toyota right now, I would be pretty damn annoyed. Good thing it wasn't even a contender.

Probably kicking yourself even more, now that Ford just posted a $2.7 billion net profit for 2009. I know I am.

Yup, read that this morning. ****ers lol

Look on a bright side, you own some AWESOME GM stock!!!! :lol:




:rofl:

LOL. They're supposedly going to pay us and the Canadian government back by June, we'll see.

US? as in you and I? Yea that's not happening :lol:

I meant the government. ;)

ahh, alrighty. I didn't want you to get your hopes up! I'm just looking out for you buddy. :lol:

:rofl:

Recall spreads to Europe and China, just saw it flash on CNN.

Are you jumping for joy yet?

Actually, I am. I cant wait to rub this whole thing in my friends face

As fun as it is to see Toyota get smeared, let's just hope none of the same supplier parts are found in GM, Ford or Chrysler vehicles if indeed that is the source of the problem. It's been said that CTS built these pedals to spec for Toyota, but I read that GM does get a pedal assembly from them as well.

I like the $1000 incentive to current Toyota owners to buy a GM car. I guess this kind of marketing is very common, but just seems smug to me.

I've had my 2005 Camry now 4.5 years and it is running like a champ. When I owned my 97 Firebird, I had already lost my CD player, rear window defroster and DS headlight motor by 4.5 years.

Why do I still love Firebirds? :rofl:

al is savoring the moment. just leaves more people to buy a superior quality ford product. no one wants to buy a car from a company they technically own :lol:

Guess we will see. ford is doing well but GM said they are having a big month.
Avis and Enterprise also suspended all their toyota fleets.
and yes I'm dancing on nearly an hourly basis.
Ford stopped production of its Transit Connects in China cause of the possibility of the same issue.

Because its a car with some personality and looks. Unlike the entire Toyota model lineup

There is an article saying what to do when this happens in the most recent Car and Driver magazine :rofl:

Actually you are correct. That's exactly why I love the Firebird, the looks and performance for the price.

I went to James Toyota in Flemington last summer when I received one of those new car incentives - you know, turn in your current car early, get the balance paid with only some of it applied to the next new Toyota. I didn't get anything, but I was shocked to hear that the ENTIRE sales staff had left James Toyota between the time I bought my car in summer 2005 and summer 2009 when I went back. I know people change jobs, but the entire staff? Managers included? When I asked about the changeover the salesperson shrugged and said "new management direction". I got a taste of that "new direction" when they refused to deal, citing unbelievable response despite the economy.

I'm currently considering the GMC Terrain as my next one.

Keep in mind they also were a Hummer dealer :shock:
