   I suggest one go to one of the Ford dealerships that are dueled with Toyota   
   and look at all of the cars in the shop be repaired and you will see as many   
   Toyotas as Fords torn apart.   The difference is the Toyota shop rate is at   
   least $10 more an hour and the owner paid 20% to 30% more to drive it home   
   when it was new.    ;)
