Limbaugh Toyota's Toyota Times
March 2010 Issue
STANDING WITH TOYOTA
The last month here at Limbaugh Toyota has been an interesting one to say the least. We’ve been in overdrive mode at the dealership fielding customer calls/e-mails and performing service work for all our Toyota customers. Bottom line: we’re doing whatever it takes to ensure that our customers feel safe, secure and satisfied with their Toyota.
I’ve been a member of the Toyota family for many years. I personally drive a Toyota to and from work every day. My wife and my daughter both drive a Toyota. Any recall is serious, but I can say without a doubt that Toyota is an industry leader in automotive quality, dependability and reliability. Toyota Camry is the number one selling car in America, and the Toyota Corolla is the number one selling car in the world.
My family is standing with Toyota during this time, and we will do our absolute best at Limbaugh Toyota to stand by our customers. It starts with our Lifetime Protection Plan now standard on every new Toyota we sell. In addition, the factory has released some of the strongest incentives in history which allows us to offer Limbaugh Toyota buyers our best prices ever. We know that now is no time to hold back, that’s why you’re going to get our best today, tomorrow and in the future.
Yours Truly,
Bruce Limbaugh

SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH:
Food Safety: Produce Preparation
* Taken from www.foodsafety.gov
- Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fresh fruits and vegetables. Produce that looks rotten should be discarded.
- All produce should be thoroughly washed.
- Many pre-cut, bagged produce items like lettuce are pre-washed. If the package indicates that the contents have been pre-washed, you can use the produce without further washing.
- Even if you plan to peel the produce before eating, it is still important to wash it first.
- Washing fruits and vegetables with soap or detergent or using commercial produce washes is not recommended.
- Scrub firm produce, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush.
- Drying produce with a clean cloth towel or paper towel may further reduce bacteria that may be present.
OUTDOOR TIP OF THE MONTH:
Family Hiking Game Tips
*Taken from www.outdoors.org
- Slide show — Give each hiker a six-inch by six-inch cardboard frame and ask them to pick up a leaf off the forest floor. Be sure not to collect leaves from living plants. After they've made and studied their "slide," say "click" and pass the slides to the left. Continue until everyone has their original slide back.
- Mystery bag — You'll need a stuff sack or lunch bag and items found along the trail. Collect items (acorns, pine cones, small stones, trash, etc. — no fair picking any living plants). When you stop for a rest, have your kids put their hands in the bag and try to identify the items they touch. Scatter the materials back in the woods when you're finished.
