USA Today's got a profile of Toyota's Jim Press, who lives in Rolling Hills, a few miles from Jalopnik's West Coast Bunker in San Pedro. Toyota's Torrance headquarters are just a quick shot up the 110 and a slow grind up the 405 from us, and the article notes that he once lived on a 42' boat "docked a few miles from Toyota's headquarters." Which most likely means Pedro. Wow. Mike Watt, Charles Bukowski and the President of Toyota Motor Sales USA. Can we come over for dinner sometime, Jim?
