And what caused their accidents? One guy even had enough time to call 911, but couldn't get the car into neutral or turn off the engine? http://www.darwinawards.com/

Blame the light bulb company: Electric Bathtub Blues 1994 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (11 March 1978, France) The singer Claude Francois, whose stellar career can be compared to that of Elvis Presley, popularized rock and roll music in France. One evening, he returned to his Paris apartment from a busy touring schedule, and ran a bath. While standing in the filled tub, he noticed a light bulb that wasn't straight, tried to straighten it... and was electrocuted.

Funny how NO ONE has produced data from the ECUs yet, and yet they point the finger. Asshats. Am I saying Toyota is NOT at fault? I don't think I ever have. I'm saying the people did not RESPOND TO THE SITUATION CORRECTLY. Like the woman in Congress who said "God stopped the car" after she couldn't. There is an OFF button on the dashboard. It takes three seconds.

A lot closer. I had one of those with Fred Flinstone floorboards. It was a FUN car, but needed more repair than I knew how to do back then.

You just made me realize something! There WAS a GM car I liked! The Corvair, the 1964 Nova we had, and a 1974 Nova I had until gas hit 75 cents a gallon...then it was back to Toyota... |
