We are never going back to the days of carbs, mech fuel pumps run off the cam, and standing in the engine bay while working on the car's engine. But what can I buy new or slightly used that isn't a death trap, and can most likely be repaired at home with a decent set of hand tools and a jack if something goes wrong? No removing the front end bodywork to get to a windshield washer pump (Subaru), no jacking the engine off its mounts to get to an alternator (Mazda), no disassembling the engine bay to replace a sensor (VW). And for f**k's sake, no turbo or hybrid anything (Ford).

Toyota didn't really go woke. I had to research this to find out what really happened. Yota gave $ to many Republicans who challenged the election results. Totally normal, they give money to politicians. (NOTE: $ to politicians who are in the districts that have Yota factories, thus = republicans) Leftists screamed like Hell "TOYOTA GIVES $ TO RACIST REPUBLICANS CHALLENGING THE ELECTION RESULTS". Toyota said "Really? Are we not supposed to give $ to politicians???" Woke leftists said "NO, YOU CANNOT GIVE $ TO REPUBLICANS".

Yota said, "OK, whatever, we won't give them $ anymore". THAT IS IT, THAT IS ALL, SIMPLE---Yota won't give $ to Republicans who wanted to challenge election results.

To me, that is not going "full woke". I'll still buy a Yota, any day, all day, every day.

for toyota, a company of whose car i am an owner, to cave like this is an affront. and by extension, not giving to patriot politicians, they are slapping all patriots in the face.
