If he needs to learn how to drive, Toyota makes their own version of Power Wheels.

I love job descriptions from smaller companies. Lots I've seen include some sense of humor:

"Maintain a pulse and positive demeanor throughout."

I get an email every week covering recalls (you can subscribe to it on the DOT website). I've been getting it for a few years now, but this the most limited one I've ever seen. It impacts 2 cars! One Forerunner and One Lexus (not models, actual units).

Summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling one 2016 Toyota 4Runner vehicle manufactured November 1, 2016 and one 2017 Lexus GX460 vehicle manufactured November 16, 2016. The affected vehicles are equipped with Takata PSPI-LD front passenger air bag inflators that may have been manufactured without ignition booster tablets. As a result, in the event of a crash, the air bag may not fully inflate during deployment of the primary stage. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

Remedy
Toyota dealers have replaced the passenger side air bag modules, free of charge. Toyota notified the affected dealers on December 15, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is G06, GLR.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

In a Toyota plant someplace:


"Hey, any of you guys seen those two samples of the bad inflators I had on my desk?"


"Oh Um... They were bad?"

Well, that disqualifies me. I can't maintain a pulse.

Then you need an extra positive demeanor to make up for it!

Waking up to news of the mosque shooting in Quebec City makes me sad.

And a certain person on Instagram response to it kind of made me angry. Dude posted a tweet from Trudeau about Canada welcoming refugees from anywhere in the world, and then another tweet from Trudeau calling the mosque shooting a terrorist attack. No dude. These two things are not fucking related. There are more violent crimes committed by born and raised Canadians and Americans committed every year than by immigrants. Jesus fucking christ. Some people are so god damned stupid.

DANG!, @Cole ...... as they say ...... "stupid can't be fixed" ....... so, I suggest you just shine on .....

Back-in-the-day, I used to worry about "stupid" and then I had a stroke that left my right side paralyzed (thankfully just for a few weeks). Now, I don't worry about "stupid" anymore ......

It was a terrorist attack by a Canadian-born right-winger named Alexandre Bissonnette. The other man once said to be a suspect, Mohamed Khadir, was a witness and a victim, not a suspect.

@jsimon7777 hit the nail on the head.

The instagram guy basically said "see, trumps vetting of immigrants from these 7 countries totally works!!!11!!!!111

No dude, all that's going to do is make more Muslims (and people in general)pissed off and become extremists. I really feel for these people, and it sucks to see massive population bases be marginalized in this way. Why can't we all just get along and make bad people who do bad things pay for the things they do?
