Sent to my buddy who’s in the 501st.
And your dad is famously stoic.
Toyoda is the name of the founder, so it’s not wrong.
And the name of the chairman!!
Makes sense. Probably related, given that Toyoda is a family name. Bountiful rice field.
The origin story.
But alas, the slop
For anyone else blocked, this is the story of the waitress in Florida who entered a contest for a “Toyota” but received a “Toy Yoda”, like a toy of the Star Wars character.
She sued because they misrepresented it as being a car, and won her car.
sorry, you have been blocked
Truly inspiring origin.
Wut?
Am joking, please ignore.
NP. But still, check out the story about the Hooters waitress that thought she’d won a Toyota, but actually only won a Toy Yoda. It’s a wild ride.
Well Toyota was originally called Toyoda…
If you walk through the Toyota manufacturing plant, the industrial machines are branded as Toyoda.
Edit: Found a photo I took.
came here to say this
