Not Just The Big Three
#1
Although it pales in comparison to the layoffs which have occurred recently from GM, Ford and Chrysler, it's a sign of the times. Toyota is laying off 200 workers in Texas, where they make their Tacoma

They need to re-organize the big 3. Since Toyota is bigger than all (if GM somehow is back to #1, I missed it) of them.

Maybe it should be The Second Biggest Three™ instead of The Big Three™

Surprised, since the Tacoma is the "smaller" of Toyota's trucks, I would have thought the plant making the Tundra would get whacked :huh:

It is the San Antonio plant that builds the Tundra.

My bud has a 2008 Tundra Max or whatever it's called and really likes his $60.000 toy, but he's not like most people.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

Yeah, I'd rather have a Taco than a Tundra any day of the week.

I've seen some really nice Tacos around town - lifted, guards, really sweet rides.
