I’m gearing up to tour next year! Come see me?! Tix to my new comedy show:

Fully convinced that if the kid in his red mustang didn’t rear-end my mother’s 20 year old Toyota, it would have lasted another ten or twenty years

[_Kyprioth_]

I bought a Suzuki at 16 with the money I had saved from working for years. I’m now 32 and while the car has almost hit 300 000 on the odometer, it’s never needed anything other than routine maintenance.
I’m determined to continue driving this car because I’m genuinely interested in finding out who shuffles off this mortal coil first 😅

The Japanese vehicle companies design their vehicles in the mindset that people won't do the proper maintenance on them, whilst German vehicle companies designed their vehicles with the mindset that people will follow the maintenance standards.

My grandpa had a Toyota truck that was so old, the entire body had rusted away. The engine still worked 😂

[fullmetaltheorist]

Toyota and other Japanese cars are good from everything from picking up your groceries, getting to work, and fighting a civil war. They are truly an all in one vehicle.

[natecaine]

Yep, I finally had to retire my 1985 Toyota Corolla after 37 years.

[nurainiarsad]

Cheap Asian cars are “crappy” but expensive European cars are “temperamental”.
Meanwhile, Japanese cars are immortal.

Paint is temporary, Honda’s are forever

[nickelesscage]

I read somewhere that when making Japanese cars they understood that people wouldn’t take care of their cars so they made them to withstand low maintenance whereas European cars were made with the understanding that if you take care of them properly they will last a very long time.

[Diembee]

“Wow! This American car is so cheap! I bet it won’t last that long!”
“You’re damn right, sonny!”

[Rey-juic]

This is the truth, my family has owned three Toyotas over my 23 year life (and a bit before that with the first one). One of them lasted us 10 years before some dickhead in a Merc wrecked it, the other one we got secondhand (1999 model bought in 2010) which lasted us over a decade before we sold it to another family who are still running it... Then our current one we've had for a couple of years which still drives like it's brand new.

Meanwhile a friends family spent more than our three Toyotas combined for a BMW a year ago and it already needs expensive parts shipped from Germany. Apparently it breaks down every two months or so, but this time something has gone catastrophically wrong with the fancy gearbox... 😂

Me celebrating my Honda's 36th birthday💀

[ISpillSprite]

This. My father always told me that if I want a motorcycle to ride, buy a Japanese bike. If I want a bike that is in the workshop more than on the roads, buy an Italian one 😂

[GooseCee]

As an American, the Japanese have some hell of engineers. Their cars are the nokias of automobiles

[michaellohmeier]

Here is the thing: my grandfather (German) has a Mercedes. For almost 40 years. No motor damage, no cracked interior. This car has survived high-speed races on the spanish highway. It survived my mother in peak condition. My mother has a modern Mercedes. Same thing. Unfortunatly some idiot crashed into hers 10 year ago (C-class model). No physical scratches on her, but the car was totally done (you could see the side bars in the door). German cars are expensive, yes. But if you take just a little bit care of them they will last a life time and will protect you against everything.

[carlangelo]

There was a popular joke amongst my uncles.

German engineers make cars that will last forever when used perfectly. And only when you use them perfectly.

While japanese engineers assume the customer will not use it right. Therefore they make their cars indestructible.

[sarahisquiethere]

I had a toyota that left the factory a month before i was born.
I drove it the last ten years of its life.
It finally gave in after 33 years total, but damn, that car was something else.

[jake______]

I heard that expensive European cars are built under the expectation that they're used and maintained as required in the operating manual while Japanese cars are built under the expectation that the oil won't get changed for three years

[Isabel-bovg]

No kidding, my dad bought a Toyota when I was born, he sold it to his friend afterwards and we still saw it on the road sometimes and I’m 27 today😂
