I was watching an episode and paused it when Erik came in and gave me a squishable stuffed hedgehog for Valentine’s Day. Then we both looked at the TV and laughed realizing the hedgehog looked like Wanda. So naturally we named the hedgehog “Wanda” and now she sits in the living room watching TV with us. Tuaq & Torq growled at Wanda at first but she growled back and now they’re friends. :-D

He was explaining the ‘unintented acceleration’ issue and fix in detail with pedals in hand to a Corolla owning couple, and the floor mat issue (apparently Toyota Canada’s mats are Canadian designed, different from those in the US and less susceptibe). He did an excellent job, and was extremely patient with show patrons. Kudos to him and Toyota Canada in being so forward, prepared, and approachable at the event. I think they’re doing right by their customers and this’ll make a great case study in how to turn a negative situation into a positive opportuntity to reconnect with customers and restore trust in the Toyota/Lexus brands.

Cycled through a few themes, one photographed here, but also a fall leaves theme where as you walk the leaves blew out of the way clearing a path to see the car below, and a dusted image there where you clean the floorspace to see the Hyundai beneath. Pretty cool.
