Not entirely surprising news. But, a bit of irony in this whole thing ... 2 of the newscasts in Chicagoland tonight that did stories about this talked about how Toyota is known for quality products and efficient gas mileage ratings ... and how GM has been cutting production because of sales slumps of its truck and SUVs. The kicker in both reports? The images shown while they were talking about GM's slumping truck/SUV sales ... TOYOTA TRUCKS and SUVs! heh ... irony rocks.

Heh ... I'm not quite as low as half that amount, but close to it ... on 5 vehicles as well. I always find it humorous when someone with a brand new car looks at me like I'm insane for having 5 cars because of the cost ... only to find out that my 5 cost less than their one.........he he.
