   When I was still in business c1995, there was a swimming pool service   
   company next door. The owner had just bought a new Toyota pu to use in his   
   business. These were the days that Toyota was bragging about how long   
   their drivetrain would last and moreso about how low the maintenence   
   costs were. It was maybe two weeks after he put it into service, I saw a   
   tow truck bringing it in. The owner was out there, bitching at his service   
   guys about the already worn out clutch. I walked up and said' "You guys   
   put 125k on that truck already?" He was fuming mad about it so much that   
   he couldn't say another word.
