OK, enough is enough. I'm sure you have heard about the Toyota 'Crisis' going on and if you're like me, you're pretty sick of it. I just came across an article where a Toyota Prius driver says his throttle got stuck and was driven by his car exceeding speeds of 90 mph on a "winding" hwy. check out the article and see what you think: http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/03/08/california.runaway.prius/index.html?eref=igoogle_cnn
I call BS. He hit 90 mph and was still able to pick up the phone to call 911? If you are that calm and collected, why not just throw the car into neutral and/or stand on the brakes? The Prius ain't exactly a muscle car where the engine can overpower the braking system. The ordeal lasted 20 minutes!? how can that be? Just chatting away w/ the operating and CHP vehicle? what is completely ludicrous is that he attempted to pull the pedal from the floor w/ his hand. HOW!? Even traveling down a straight highway with light traffic, I wouldn't even attempt to pick up a dropped soda let alone reach down to my toes and spend time prying something from the floor. This guy's story is way too suspicious... either he is just looking to get his 15 minutes of fame at Toyota's expense, or he has found the fastest way to get home and brag to his friends about how he made everyone look like fools.
