Toyota hits house
A woman in Georgia blamed the troubled company for hitting a neighbor's house with her Toyota Corolla. It may or may not be the cause of the accident, (sounds more like "operator error" to me), but I think this is where the potential for heavy lawsuits against Toyota lie. If someone had been seriously hurt in the house, I'm sure there would be hordes of attorney's lining up to take that case against Toyota. Also, as an aside, I learned today that although the CEO of Toyota has a last name of 'Toyoda', with a 'd', and proudly states that his "name is on each and every Toyota" manufactured, Toyota uses a 't' because of the fact that in traditional Japanese lettering 'Toyota' has 8 brush strokes while 'Toyoda' has 10. In the Japanese culture, 8 is very lucky. Ironic!
