I have a sneaky suspicion that the cure to the toyota electronic problem is as follows

N-D-N-D-Break-Accelerate-break-accelerate-select-start

Update on Toyota in view of the recent "runaway" Prius in California. I read as much as I could, including comments to the news stories. There was some concern out there that a vehicle could not be put into neutral once the RPM's met a certain level. The guy with the Prius (and his 15 minutes of fame Rolling Eyes ) said something like he didn't want to try to put it into neutral because he didn't want to take his hands off the steering wheel or some BS (however, it was OK for him to take his spare hand and call 911 using his cell phone). Whatever, he panicked. So, adad decided to try an experiment yesterday. He floored the gas pedal, got it up to 75 mph, then put it into neutral without letting up on the pedal. The engine quit racing and the car slowed down. Hmmm, back to "defensive driving 101" I guess, and don't panic.


Yes, thought the same thing, either utterly stupid or running a scam, you can go to netural at 500MPH.


These are the situations that certain people live for, a chance to captalize on the problems/misery of others.

On the news I saw, the driver said he was afraid it would flip...

Which leads me to believe his other car is a pickup... I don't remember what my sun visor says, but half of what it says is "don't do x, y, or z because yo' truck will flip the eff over!"
