1 Million Mile Tundra

Wow.... beyond impressive!  As a very young boy I remember seeing fake dog poop "Made in Japan"

My 2004 Tundra 4x4 was the best all-round vehicle I have owned.  I am currently on my 14th Toyota vehicle, including a Lexus IS250.

Now... after we nuked Japan and rebuilt their country, they are paying it forward!!

Japan designs, develops, and manufacturers world class products!

How is it that a little group of islands with a total land mass of 145,840 square miles and 125,000,000 population can make the world's best products in huge numbers, and China, with a population of 1.4 billion and a land mass of 3,705,410 square miles, builds nothing but JUNK?

I think the key to Japan’s success is their pride and desire to succeed along with the cultures appreciation for beauty and quality.

While a lot of Chinese products are cheap junk, it is possible to find quality products that are manufactured/assembled in China. The audio brand Yaqin is an example in my experience as they make quality high value tube amplifiers.

Pride and honor. Japan is falling off a bit, but is still the purest civilization on earth.

Pride and honor… compared to who?  The Japanese people arguably still hold the gold metal for that.

“purest civilization on earth”… not quite.  The Aboriginal Australians hold that title, and have for an estimated 75,000 years to today.

the real crazy part is the guy did 1million miles in less than 10 years. that is over 100K a year!!!  if he averaged 50MPH that is 2,100 hours in the seat.  a standard 40 hour a week job is 2080 hours.  that is alot.
