As my grandfather used to say, Ty-oda needs to truthfully figure out two
things:
- root cause
- transportability
Then they need to do two things:
- fix all their vehicles
- commence damage control (lame 0% interest comercials aren't enough)

Well the story I first heard was on NPR and I was probably still half
asleep, but some of the details were repeated in later stories, but
which have also become different as the day has proceeded.

Have you driven a Prius? I have and I've ridden in one plenty (2nd
