Toyota is also halting production of those vehicles as it tries to
contain the fallout after two damaging recalls raised questions about
its safety record and further threaten its reputation.

Both of mine are quick, light, fun. Pretty too.

This implies that other cars don't rust away. If I recall correctly,
this is simply not true. The reality is that there's been a big
improvement in rust-resistance in automobiles. Back in the 70s most
everywhere you looked there'd be a car with awful rust holes. Nowdays,
it's a rare sight and most likely you'd see it on a car built in the
80s. Thanks, Jesus! :-)

There was beautiful weather in early July and late June. In the 70s and
80s every day. Really enjoyed it.
