Mazey, backed by Toyota but written by whom?

Fancy there is a Toyota factory just 60 miles from me. I must think of buying right from them but have no idea if its cheaper.

I bought a nice headset for listening to music at work from Circuit City. I spent $30 dollars for it, and it had a one year warranty. I turned down a three year extended warranty multiple times for this. The clerk was trying to sell me the warranty for $30.

He apparently couldn’t understand me when I said “No, I’ll buy a new one if this breaks after a year.”
