Uh oh. I’m 58 how, and I’ve been driving my Prius for the last 4 years. Will I need to sell in two year?

Plus, the recent example in California looks like it is was a hoax.

My 84-yr.old mother-in-law, who is otherwise very strongly in control of her environment, applied the accelerator instead of the brake on her Lincoln Continental about 5 yrs. ago. She crashed into the side of a restaurant, with no injuries but a totaled Lincoln. She still can’t believe she did it, but at least she owned up to her mistake.

I wanted to email him a “thank you”, but am not messing with the “create account” stuff: my email should be MORE than sufficient. But Mr Frank, if you happen to lurk, THANK YOU for validating everything I’ve said (in public, in a voice that tends to carry) since the first chirpy reports were gushed all over on CNN by enthusiastic unicorn chasers.

The panic surrounding the Toyota recall was more embarassing than the H1n1 stupidity (with us since the ‘90’s)

The government kills many more than Toyota’s been accused of by forcing them into smaller cars: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2468420/posts

I Am Not Afraid Of My Toyota Prius

Really. So how much battery acid do you have on board?

Where does it go if you have a crash?

In a crash, what happens if the big cables touch together?

FROM BESTCASHCOW.COM BLOGGERS:

[Jim Sikes?.....The name sounded familiar to me, then it clicked. He was the owner of a foreclosed home that we were trying to buy last year in Bonita, a suburb of San Diego.
That in-of-itself is not enough to question someone’s character, but the fact that he gutted the ENTIRE kitchen out of this 4,000 ft custom home certainly is! They stole EVERYTHING before moving out. Appliances, cabinets, granite countertops....even the lights!
What made it even more pathetic at the time was we learned that he and his wife were pretty well known local realtors whom you’d think would be above such sleazy shenanigans.
I’m tempted to contact Toyota corporate and have them scrutinize this joker carefully. Posted: Mar 10, 2010]

[Are you kidding me!! I’ve been a certified mechanic for 32 years and I can tell you this guy is lying!!!!!First of all the brakes can stop a Prius at full throttle, but why not just put the car in neutral as the 911 operator repeatedly told him to do??? The engine button has to be held for 3 seconds to shut down but he was on the phone for 26 minutes!!!!! The previous crash that killed a trooper and family hapened in a matter of seconds and in no way can be compared to this “incident”. This low-life should be prosecuted along with his wife who has made complicit statements. Posted: Mar 11, 2010]

the drivers included those of the ages 60, 61, 63, 66, 68, 71, 72, 72, 77, 79, 83, 85, 89


It should be obvious that the brake and accelerator peddles need to be embossed with huge lettering and a dash readout needs to be illuminated on every car on the road.

It’s situations like these that cries for more government control in this area. There are probably thousands of deaths every year due to lack of labels and dash readouts. Also a fund needs to be set up to cover liability suits. I’m thinking maybe $50 billion to start administered by ACORN or similar public interest organization.

You may not be afraid of your Toyota Pious... but I’m afraid of your Toyota Pious. For the Toyota Pious is a hazard on the road with it’s inability to maintain an adequate velocity in comparison with the flow of traffic, thereby creating a road hazard that increases the risk of accidents.

For the sake of the children, *BAN THE PIOUS*!!!

:-P
