THIS GUY PROBABLY KNOWS ALL THE CLEAN RESTROOMS IN MUCH OF THE UNITED STATES

THIS GUY PROBABLY KNOWS ALL THE CLEAN RESTROOMS IN MUCH OF THE UNITED STATES by Jim Corbran, Automotive Columnist When I first heard that there was a guy in Louisiana who had driven his 2007 Toyota Tundra pickup over a million miles, I said to myself “This guy lives in the thing.” Doing the math after Tundra Owner Victor Sheppard told the press that he averages about 125,000 miles per year, I dusted off my abacus and determined that one would have to drive around 350 miles a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year to arrive at that figure. Whew! And you know he must have days he doesn’t drive all that much, so, wow! — Mr. Sheppard, congratulations. I’m amazed he still gets any work done after all that driving. When Toyota Motor Sales USA heard his story, they wanted a closer look at his truck. It was assembled in Toyota’s San Antonio, Texas plant, and Toyota wanted to rip it apart to see how everything had held up. Seeing that a heap of parts wouldn’t help him get around much to perform his job, Toyota USA swapped Sheppard’s million-mile 2007 Tundra for a new 2016 Tundra. This one will be Sheppard’s 16th Tundra. On May 11th 2016 Victor Sheppard was presented with a 2016 Tundra Limited in exchange for his Million-Mile 2007 Tundra during a ceremony at Greg LeBlanc Toyota in Houma, Louisiana. You just can’t buy publicity like that. (Well, maybe you can, with a new truck) but it sure says a lot for both the Toyota brand and the San Antonio plant quality-wise that guys like Sheppard can pile on so many trouble-free miles and keep buying new trucks.
