His schedule is ridiculously busy, I myself have no idea HOW he's doing this. He's technically "engineer" and not "presenter", so don't really need to travel much as he should be.

Seriously, he's doing this ridiculous schedule, long traveling, no time w family, and all the events (including this Q&A). When I ask for this Q&A event, one of reply was "みなさんに喜んで頂けるならなんなりとリクエストください。" ("if delight everyone, please request it")

That's why, somewhat grieves me to see some of questions here. Shaving his free time to reaching out to us, and get is "Why this-&-that problem of this car? What you gotta say about this? oh btw, even you replied to this question, I'll return the car either way" If it was me, I'll snap or worse, heart broken. Yes, life isn't always sunny & rainbow, but that doesn't mean you can bring rain & storm... at least there's a proper way to "ask a question".

Anyways, done ranting... better get back to translating for Tada-san and I need to finalize all the questions for Scion USA, so I can email Scion USA tomorrow morning.

kewl! while you are at it,ask 'em WHY all these niggling little (half a*s) issues with the car? this stuff should have been caught on the assembly line!.it's difficult to fathom that japanese assemblers are making cars like americans!..just sayin'
