THAT's why they stoped the buybacks

I got an e-mail from Toyota that started someting like "our records 
indicate that your Tundra may have fram rust problems but does not 
qualify for ..blah, blah, blah". They offered me to get it inspected *at 
the Toyota Dealer* and if required the frame would get dealer anti-rust 
oiling and/or repairs (forget the details). Anyway I got me an 
appointent, they looked in the computer and 'noticed' that I could also 
be due for an oli change before telling me that the previous owner had 
already gotten the ispection and the antirust treatment done. So I asked 
"if that's in you fucking computer then why did you put me throught all 
this hoopla to get an appointment and drive 80-km to get here?".
