Subject: Doing my best to stimulate the economy

Just picked up my new 2009 Toyota RAV4.

....and the Japs appreciate that!

Yeah, way to go Don, that's the way to support the Canadian economy. Send
the money to Japan.

I resisted buying a Japanese car for 32 years. *I remember seriously
checking out a 1977 Honda Accord before settling on a Dodge Aspen SW.
I've supported 'American cars' all my life except for my very first car....a
Morris 850 SW, my first brand new car...a VW Beetle and in the late 80s.. a
Russian Lada. *This is my first Asian car and I apologize to no one.

Oooh...Lada....pure junk. Something like the Chinese Chery deathtrap.
Ever see the crash test footage on that beauty? Terrifying to say the
least.
