Also there is so much that is interchangable between so many models. I transplanted a 3.4L V6 from a '03 tacoma and put it in my old '93 pickup. Bolted right up. Simple. Now it's time for a supercharger!

P.S. - My throttle has never stuck. Ever. It was only the newer Camry model that had the issue I believe. I'll probably never own any thing new than '04 anyways so I don't care.
Read 'em and weep.

Really doesn't bother me. It gets me from point A to point B reliably and cost effectively.

Alabama I'm guessing? Not sure when they opened that factory but I know there's a lot of vehicles being produced there now. Maybe that's one reason for all the recalls... all the drunken rednecks that built the things

NUMMI in Fremont California, from the beginning of the model run until 2009, when Toyota shitcanned the whole factory and all it's UAW workers. Today the building has a big sign that reads TESLA.

Now you know the rest of the story
