tonite around 6pm AZ time i saw a RHD Prius at the Toyota dealership i work at(Larry Miller Toyota). there was 5 japanese guys and 1 american fiddling with it. I started taking pics of it with my phone and the american guy come up and said "Trevor you need to stop taking pics of this car!" like he and i was old buddies(i had my uniform on at the time which had my name on it that i forgot i had on). so out of the 5 pics i took i could only keep 3 :( . the american guy said if he saw any pics on the internets of this car i would be fired from my job and never could get a job at any Toyota place ever again. what they were testing was some "high temp" fuel but, dont know if it was some experimental fuel for the Prius:dunno: .

lame. One of our family friends was driving a RHD prius for days before they came out. He is a toyota test driver or something.

He would pretend like he was sleeping when driving the car. everyone would freak out.

Neat, I almost bought an old Willys CJ mail truck that was RHD.. it also had a neat CVT-style transmission. Could run off kerosene, diesel, gasoline, anything.. whatever happened to those!?

"the american guy said if he saw any pics on the internets of this car i would be fired from my job and never could get a job at any Toyota place ever again."

Was that a threat or a promise? Either way, this thread seems like a bad idea on your part. :biglaugh:

I would take the pics down if I were you. If my boss told me not to post something online, I wouldn't post it.

You never know who's reading and who's talking to who. I would hate to see this come back to haunt you in some way.

the american guy came up today was talking about a job at the proving grounds and seeing if i was interested in working out there! i lol'd a bit.

those wheels are on all the 07 Prius' iirc.

if i lost my job b/c of the pics i would sue b/c of wrongful termination but that probably wont ever happen

well Mr.HM, i dont live in canadica so i dont have the luxory of own a RHD supra right now! .l.. :)

lol im gunna look into it! i asked the american about the "new supra" and he didnt know anything about it and he was wanting to know about it too! if i do take a job there you cant have any camera phones on the property so that will be a no go on the new releases and pics. :(
