    Toyota apologizes for cheating on vehicle testing https://apnews.com/article/toyota-certification-cheating-japan-automakers-scandal-26585a96df2a32f7d67a4011a0a98772

    The wide-ranging fraudulent testing at Japan's top automaker involved the
    use of inadequate or outdated data in collision tests, and incorrect
    testing of airbag inflation and rear-seat damage in crashes. Engine power
    tests were also found to have been falsified.

    The wide-ranging fraudulent testing at Japan's top automaker
    involved the
    use of inadequate or outdated data in collision tests, and
    incorrect
    testing of airbag inflation and rear-seat damage in crashes. Engine
    power
    tests were also found to have been falsified.

    But Toyota can
    not apologize to those people who died when there
    "Anti-lock-brakes" was unable to function properly.

    Imagine turning into your drive-way and speeding to a point where your
    car enters your garage and explodes upon impact?

    Better get a Ford or GMC model

    My '88 Caddy had an automatic floor-it problem at least half a dozen
    times. Fortunately I have strong legs and don't panic easily.

    They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't
    we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys,
    it's worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it any more.
