It was the very first American outpost for a Japanese company nobody had ever heard of - Toyota Motor Corporation. Total nationwide sales for year one: 257 Toyopets and one Land Cruiser. Eric is a salesman at Hollywood Toyota, still in the same location. This being Hollywood, however, he calls himself an actor. "You know that episode when Seinfeld doubleparks? And that mob? Well, I led that mob." Eric has just finished a screenplay - "lots of cars, lots of action." If it's produced, he said, he'll feel like he's done something with his life."
