Don't any of you remember the bullshit Audi acceleration thing? Well it was almost 25 yrs ago so most of you wouldn't.

I was going to say, amazing how in just a generation we can forget such valuable lessons as those learned in the Audi debacle.

I've driven a Prius / Camry / Corolla / other shit box Toyota. It doesn't take a hell of a lot of brake to slow these anemic cars down. Ridiculous. I wonder how many people are intentionally running their cars through their garage doors to cash in?

its terrifying how often these people forget to simply use the brake, or that nifty little lever that put it in gear...... or that lovely ignition switch. dumbasses.

"Save the children" =

1) someone please do my parenting for me
2) re-elect me, because I'll do everything to protect my constituents!
3) i'm an american man, so i'm too pussy to call a woman out when she suggests some pointless safety law

Siver lining for the Toyota PR guys:

A Prius can do 90+ MPH if you have enough highway to allow it to get there.

Eco Friendly Hot Rod! Suck on that Honda Insight! :lol:

Attention Speeders:

Want to get away with 90 in a 55?

Buy a Toyota, it's a license to go WFO.
