I didn’t realize until recently myself… somewhere along the way I have become a GREAT Toyota loyalist. This is a declaration that I have made after great rationalization and debate. Standing up and saying you love Toyota, is like acknowledging that the frumpy girl down the street might not be the cutest thing around, but at least she makes a […]
