Also been a long time since I ordered a customized Toyota, but, back then I was told the deal was: they order the base vanilla cars, they arrive at the port of Long Beach, and there’s a facility there at the port where the additions and packages are done.

Two years ago, this website ran an article that read, “Wear a suit when flying, you’re more likely to get a complimentary upgrade.”

I have my own checklist, please let me know what I need to do to be granted the title of Cancel Police

I’m going to throw in a mention of one of my favorite films: The Hunt for Red October. It’s really the story of a bunch of very, very smart people who are very, very good at their jobs nerding out and using their intelligence and wit to out-think each other to save the day.
