Toyota put an innocent man in jail for 2 years
with their faulty, crappy cars, not to mention the 3 people who died in the crash they caused with their shitty low-quality brake systems. I could just puke. I hope that innocent man sues the fuck out of those lazy bastards!


BUY AMERICAN folks! Because Americans take pride in their work. Americans make quality cars that wont randomly fail and get you thrown in jail.

5. I was thinking about the surviving relatives of those
who were killed in that accident. Apparently they have been very forgiving toward the driver. Maybe they should join him in a lawsuit.

There is no replacing what was lost. People died and a man lost his freedom and reputation. All the survivors need more than just an apology.

6. Toyota didn't put him in jail...
He was convicted by a jury. He also had a shoddy defense attorney, too.

7. Even after NHTSA found driver error to be the most common cause of 'the toyota problem'
you still want to insist that the evidence is wrong and a bunch of yammering nitwits on the interwebs are right? Unreal.

I'm glad the guy's out of prison - vehicular manslaughter is sad but does not IMO call for retributive justice. But odds are that he was at fault for not controlling his car. Just like the majority of others who experienced "the toyota problem."

8. Misinformation......
The Americans that work at the American Factories that produce Toyotas will be a bit surprised at your "faulty, crappy cars" and "shitty low-quality brake systems" rant. So, too, will all of the dealership employees and parts suppliers that thought they were Americans as well. Take a look at the past history of recalls, quality is not something American Car manufacturers (including their Mexican and Canadian workers) have locked down - but they have improved.

You Said it.... Nobody has the quality market cornered.

Toyota screwed up royally, but they are no better or worse than the rest of them.
