fan, you know what I love about having you around. . . . . . . . . .the fact that you never, ever correct any of my facts. . . .only my opinions. That alone validates my opinion (knowing that my it's based on real data you can't refute, gasp!!!). My opinion is more than what I read here, or GMInsidnews, or any other online blog. . . . .car magazines, business journals, newspapers, books, conversations, debates, hands-on wrenching, racing and ownership all contribute to my opinion. I seek out the facts instead of regurgitating someone’s opinion that's passed off as fact (or worse yet, waiting on someone else to spoon feed me the facts). The fact that you can only attack my opinion should say something about my posts. . . . .Unlike some, I take pride in my credibility and I dare you or any other fanboy here to try an discredit me. . . . My opinion is the only thing you have a pot to piss in when it comes to my posts. . . .

The amount of disinformation is astounding here, and most of it is used to prop Toyota up as some sort of automotive savior. The perpetuation of this misinformation and your ardent defense of it, does nothing but bring down the credibility of this site. I've said it 100 times, this should be a credible place for Toyota owners to come and share ideas and experiences, not some sort of cheerleading practice to pat eachother on the back and play grabass with Toyota executives.

You hate GM or Ford, great I could care less, Hell I hate some of the stuff they do. You think Toyota hung the moon, fantastic. All I'm asking is that you hate GM or Ford for VALID reasons (and there are plenty, and I'll agree with them), and love Toyota for the things they truly do well (and they do alot of things very, very well). Step out of the 1980's mentality that GM cars can't last more than 1 year (get real!!) or that somehow your Vega left you walking and now you swear you'll never own another GM again. Step into the present and go look at CURRENT PRODUCTS for Gods sake. . . . .there are actually some competitive products that don’t have a Toyota badge on them (really, there are!!!!).

Honest to God, sometimes the ignorance is overwhelming here. . . . . and you enable it!!!!!!

You are obviously educated and when your not critiquing my opinion, you actually have intelligent things to say. But try actually caring about factual automotive information here on this site and holding your fellow fanboy to a higher standard. Don't coddle their ignorance. . . . correct them, even if it means making Toyota out to look less than super-dooper.

You have a choice to either 1) follow me around and pick apart my opinion to somehow discredit me (good luck) or 2) to encourage a little friendly automotive dialogue based on hard data and to hold people accountable for their information.
