What a crock of shit.

A private firm said it had identified 275 crashes and 18 deaths because of sudden, uncontrollable acceleration in Toyotas since 1999.
275 crashes over 11 years and probably 10 million Toyotas? Big fucking deal. And even among those 275, most were probably senile old farts who thought they were hitting the brakes when they were really hitting the gas..........just like the Audi thing 20 years ago.

In North Palm Beach, Fla., Clare Roden showed up at a Toyota dealership worried about the 2010 Camry she purchased recently. She was relieved when she was told her accelerator was not a problem part.
Next time check whether your model is affected before driving all the way to the dealership. Jesus, are people really this pathetic?

Absofuckinglutly!

I drove my Tundra yesterday to a friend's house. This friend is a marketing director for a local dealership - they've had phone calls from people demanding the dealership send a truck to pick up their car because they are afraid to drive it.

Those people don't deserve to breathe the same air the rest of us are... it's just rediculous.

Even though they have been driving it without a problem up until this all came out. I bet she is on the verge of punching some of those people.

Wow......And let me guess, it already has 30,000 miles on it.........And all of a sudden it's going to crash on their way to the dealer.

Sheep.
