Lexus owner: "Nice truck! Izzat a Toyota?"

[Steamguy]

The title says it all.

I was in a parking lot, putting stuff into the back of the Titan, and this Lexus convertible owner (older fella, like me) asks me the question. His wife is getting out of the car, and I can see the expression on her face... "Oh no, another 'car discussion'". His car is jet black, and looks like it's garaged all the time and waxed every Sunday afternoon.

So of course I told him, "No. This is a Nissan Titan. I've owned it for almost two years and it's been a great truck. Sorry but I won't own a Toyota!"

I saw this wicked grin start to creep across the wife's face, and I continued: "I used to be a Journeyman mechanic, and I always got cut up working on Toyotas. Plus I never cared for their policy of making running changes to the vehicles, the purpose of which was to make sure that only the dealers had the right parts."

The guy nodded, since he'd obviously experienced that for himself. He was gracious enough to say, "Thanks!" ...Meanwhile I saw his wife giving me a wicked grin, and I suppose that this guy must be a dyed-in-the-wool Toyotaphile. I would bet that he said at one point, "No you can't have a BMW, because Toyotas are the best..."
