Lol, I drive a VW (Golf MK V) I like it, sport chassis, sport seats, what's not to like. (its a company car BTW)

German cars tend to be not the cheapest, it is the same here, I guess the image of German solid engineering and high re-sale prices keep it that way.

That's probably what they did at the first sign of the financial/world "crisis" , and what brought on this whole "predicament' in the first place.

On the news they said RAV 4's from 2000 are being recalled, that was way before the crisis.
Either way, I don't own a Toyota, so I don't really have to care or be bothered...

Company car, I even go to the garage to get the screenwash refilled.
Not my car, so I do not work on it.
I prefer to put my time in the P-car.

I'll tell you this...
No eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn.

Back in those days everything was simpler and more confused
One summer night, going to the pier
I ran into two young girls
The blonde one was called Freedom
The dark one, Enterprise
We talked and they told me this story
Now listen to this...
I'll tell you about Texas radio and the big beat
Soft driven, slow and mad
Like some new language
Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger
Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god
Wandering, wandering in hopless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars

Out here we is stoned
Immaculate.


~Jim Morrison

I see you across the room
Search for some happiness ain't anytime soon
Turmoil has turned you inside
Sift through your pages of miracles you wish to find

Doors story is no different from so many other "great" bands.

I'm drunk, I'm nobody.
I'm drunk, I'm famous.
I'm drunk, I'm dead.

They have a few songs that are quite good, and a lot that suck like a Dyson.

Does a Dyson really suck all that much better?
