Most problems can be blamed on a minority. Fortunately, good people
still outnumber the f***ing idiots, but I wonder for how much long
Don't forget those who never left the States, got the GI bill, went to

I enjoy these threads about Japan vs Germny vs US. Yes, there were more
problems with the US built Toyotas. (Some may remember I worked for Toyota
for 13 years)
A Japanese built car had a JT2 or JT1 VIN whilst the US made were 1T1.
Canadian made were 2T1 and ranked almost as high as the JT2 cars.
It's a QC issue, if the shipping folks of company "A" can't met the
