pretty funny...friend had a mrs spyder which detonated b/c it had an engineering defect causing the rings to wear out eating a quart of oil a week...spend $2k to get fixed (this was a common problem and toyota never recalled)

he proceeded to by an es300 which wound up having the engine sludge problem (if you don't change the oil on a strict schedule the engine runs too hot which it bakes and blocks oil passages causing starvation and you have to get a new engine)...$3k later he's got his reliable 2nd toyota (this is also a common problem and toyota never recalled)
