IDIOT SIGHTING: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile
dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to
unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I
instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
"Hey," I announced to the technician, "it's open!" To which he replied, "I
know - I already got that side." This was at the Ford dealership in Canton ,
Mississippi !

...And they walk among us...and REPRODUCE !!
Kinda scary, huh?
Maybe it starts from the top and works its way down?

More trouble ahead in 07
What Edmunds.com Says:If Nissan's Titan is any indication, the Big Three should be very worried about the next Tundra.
What We Know: Although the current Tundra enjoys brisk sales due to its refined ride and easy-to-drive demeanor, Toyota knows that in order to compete with the big boys it needs a bigger truck. The next-generation Tundra will be a full-size truck in every respect, with a larger V8 power plant and comparable dimensions to Detroit's biggest and best. The FTX concept truck shown at the 2004 Detroit Auto Show was a preview of what Toyota has in mind. Its outlandish size and styling may get toned down a bit for the production truck, but there's no doubt who Toyota is targeting. In fact, Toyota is so intent on building a credible truck, it's constructing an all-new plant in San Antonio, Texas, to build it.

Imagine that--
Our government probably gave them 10's of millions in tax credits, etc to build here-they will not have a union so the labor costs will be lower, and--More money going overseas!!
I hope God still blesses America!!

Make them go on Social Security - - then that will get fixed, too.
