Thank y'all who build cars here, for saving the lives of 5 teenage boys. Toyota gets credit for engineering safety and consistent building protocols, but none of that matters if the people who manufacture the car don't do a good job. Let me tell you, you did a GREAT job! In 2025 y'all built a Camry LE Hybrid that was built so well it saved 5 young men from death, dismemberment and permanent injury. The other night, sitting at a stop light, I witnessed a 2025 Toyota Camry LE Hybrid get T-boned by a truck that was making a turn. The Camry was flying down the road and didn't see the truck. The truck struck the driver's side and shot the car across the intersection, when all of the sudden it clipped something, launching it in the air, spinning around sideways multiple times as it vaulted over a retaining wall and struck a large power pole which instantly stopped the Camry dead in its tracks upon impact. Within minutes, I watched three young, panicked men (teenage boys) climb out the rear passenger door, and two more climb out the sunroof. Every airbag deployed, the windshield and driver window were smashed, but the windshield remained intact (unlike some (other) manufacturer glass these days...), and despite an intense impact and force that would have otherwise split some cars in two or wrapped them around that power pole, the structure of the car did not budge. If you'd seen the accident, speed, force and impact you would have also been astonished that this car not only remained intact but didn't bow, bend or crumble! It was the mercy of God and incredible dedication to build quality and workmanship! Horrified, but amazed at this miracle of God, it occurred to me that if shoddy workmanship, careless processes, or employees who didn't care built this car, 5 young men would likely be dead, dismembered, paralyzed or permanently injured. But because y'all cared enough to build it right... to do a good job, the right way, 5 teenagers are alive today and were able to crawl out of that vehicle as if nothing happened.. by the grace of God Almighty. Thank y'all for the job you did building these people's car! (The license number allowed me to look up the factory that built it.) Way to go Toyota Motor Manufacturing GEORGETOWN, KENTUCKY!!! God bless y'all and keep up the good work!
