And yet another serious case of backpedaling. Imagine that. :rolleyes:
Let see 365 posts in 6 years. Actually it should be closer to around 900, since I've uploaded about 600 pictures and they all count as posts. The count was lost when the boss changed servers or software, something like that. So how many posts you have = if you have a life or not....mmmmmm. How about it Jimmy D (over 10,000), Dirtgirl, Pitdrifter, and Dirt Hound a few thousand each. Guess you guys don't have a life. roflmao!!!! I think Intake, has be "intaking" to many fumes. :D

Thank God for dirtgirl, she can always turn things around for the better, and make me laugh! :D

Intake, I apologize for calling you names. That was uncalled for. Maybe I misunderstood you but it seemed like you were attacking my buddy, for putting down the auto workers when he was really sticking up for them. You certainly have a good sense of humor, sometimes I let stuff get under my skin. Guess I need to lighten up. (Gee imagine that, me lightening up. That's hard for an old Irish pug like me.):D

I admire people who work on their own cars, and you seem to have done plenty of that. I'm sure you think I'm a dumb azz... (I think I started something there...*lol*) but I'm really a pretty easy going guy.
 
shhh don't tell anyone midget racer is working on this to make next years 500 dang germans lol

YEAH, WORKING A NEVER ENDING ASSEMBLY LINE IS AS MUCH MENTAL AS IT IS PHYSICAL, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. THERE ARE THOSE THAT THINK WE'RE OVER PAID AND THEIR ENTITLED TO THAT OPINION. BUT, I THINK A LOT OF THAT MAY CHANGE IF THEY WALKED A MILE IN OUR SHOES. OR SEVERAL MILES ON MOST OF THOSE JOBS IN ONE NIGHT. I REALLY COULD CARE LESS WHAT ANYONE THINK OF ME AND MY UNION. THE WAY I SEE THE UAW HAS DONE ALL IT CAN TO HELP PEOPLE ENJOY A STANDARD OF LIVING THAT WE "ALL" AS AMERICANS SHOULD ENJOY. THE BIG WIGS GET FAT OFF THE WORKING CLASS IN THIS COUNTRY. WHY SHOULDN'T THE WEALTH BE SHARED?

THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THINGS WERE ALLOWED TO BE IMPORTED THAT WE DIDN'T NEED TO BE IMPORTED. IF THIS COUNTRY ONLY IMPORTED WHAT IT COULDN'T PRODUCE, GROW OR MANUFACTURE IN THE USA. WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS PROBLEM. BUT IN TYPICAL RICH MAN POOR MAN FASHION. THE BIG SHOTS TAKE IT OVER SEAS BRING IT BACK AND MAKE MORE MONEY. IF SWEAT SHOP COMPETITION WASN'T ALLOWED IN THE USA. AMAERICAN COMPANIES COULD PAY EMPLOYEES A WAGE AND BENEFIT PACKAGE ABOVE POVERTY WITHOUT GOING BROKE. IT WOULD BE THE NORM NOT ABNORM!

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. I'M NOT THE MOST EDUCATED GUY WHEN IT COMES TO WORLD AFFAIRS AND WORLD BUSINESS. I SEE IT THROUGH A SIMPLE MANS EYES. A GUY JUST LOOKING TO PROVIDE A DECENT LIFE FOR MY FAMILY. LIKE US AUTO WORKERS OR NOT THATS UP TO YOU. I WILL GO THERE AND BE OVER PAID UNTIL THEY TELL ME NOT TO SHOW UP ANYMORE!

Toyota will build Highlander in Miss.

Toyota will build Highlander in Miss. plant -- and maybe more

Toyota Motor Corp. will build a $1.3 billion SUV plant near Tupelo, Miss., about 100 miles southeast of Memphis, the automaker said today.

But evidence suggests the company is already planning to expand the plant.

At a Tupelo press conference this morning, Toyota officials said they plan to hire about 2,000 workers to produce 150,000 Highlanders a year by 2010.

A source with the project said Toyota is planning a second phase that would yield a crossover that does not now exist in Toyota's product lineup.

Toyota officials declined to discuss longer-term plans for the project. But at the press conference this morning, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour let it slip that the plant's employment will grow to 4,000.

The 1,700-acre site is in a small community named Blue Springs.

Toyota has been taking public heat in the United States as its sales of imported vehicles rise. Imported vehicles account for about 46 percent of Toyota's U.S. sales, despite a long-standing goal of building two-thirds of its sales volume in local factories.

Toyota's U.S. sales rose more than 12 percent last year, even as Ford Motor Co., General Motors and the Chrysler group struggled with financial setbacks and plant layoffs.

Jim Press, president of Toyota Motor North America Inc., said the new Mississippi plant is not designed to defuse the criticism.

"We're not doing this as a reaction to anything," Press said. "Our commitment is to continue to build cars where we sell them."

Toyota also is preparing to open a RAV4 factory in Woodstock, Ontario, and to start a new assembly line inside Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. in Lafayette, Ind., that will boost U.S. Camry production this year.

Toyota will not build engines at the Mississippi plant. The site is near Highway 72, which runs through northern Mississippi into northern Alabama to link the future plant to Toyota's expanding engine factory in Huntsville, Ala.

Blue Springs is an unusual site for a Toyota factory. Other North American plants have been built a short drive from mid-sized cities, such as Lexington, Ky., and Evansville, Ind.

Tupelo's population of 34,000 does not offer Toyota the same-sized work force that other sites under consideration did, such as Chattanooga, Tenn.

But Tupelo has been a U.S. center for upholstered-furniture manufacturing for decades. And a recent shift to Chinese production of furniture has left large numbers of skilled furniture workers unemployed.

Toyota officials said today that they hope to tap into that pool of workers to staff the new plant.

"Bottom line is, if its made in America....its probably a pile of crap and overpriced because our assembly line workers think they deserve 25/hr to screw in four screws on a door panel. (thats a bit of an exagerration but you get the idea). Okay, tee off on my opionion everybody." Have to agree with ya on that one! As much as I hate to say it there lies the problem, the work force. How can American manufacters not be overpriced when they pay their workers to do nothing 50% of the time

Typically typing in all caps is supposed to show the person is yelling or angry. But with Pitdrifter it just means he's retarded.
