292010toyotaprius-630opAll right people, you know that the Toyota recall is some of the biggest news to hit the auto market since – well, in a while right?  People crashing into buildings, other cars and people just all around getting hurt.  It is difficult to handle, but Toyota is doing an okay job … I think.

Right now however, there are many people that are actually filing lawsuits again Toyota to pay for things like – higher car insurance premiums because they crashed because of the fact that their gas pedal was stuck.

What do you guys think about this?  For me – I think it’s a great idea.  I mean honestly, I think that Toyota was stupid to not start the recall earlier.

2010 Detroit Auto Show attendance beats '09 by 65kWhen you are dealing with something as huge as the North American International Auto Show – you expect a lot of people to come, but you always have to anticipate the worse.  Well, Detroit actually pulled out good this year with the Auto Show and the numbers in attendance was up by 65k, which is fantastic!

Detroit is where I am from and honestly, it might not be the greatest place in the world to live but it is definitely one place that is near and dear to my heart.  When I heart that over 715,000 people came in and paid $12.00 in admission to see the show … it was absolutely incredible.

Thanks for everyone who went!  The show was fucking awesome and I know that the money really helped D-Town!
