Craig: I think Toyota is engaged in a gigantic coverup, Floor mats and brake pedals don't begin to address the recent erratic behavior of their cars. Almost all of my kayaking buddies drive Toyotas, and I'd hate to see them accelerate uncontrollably to 100 mph on our narrow, winding roads. The consequence would be undeniable. Brad I'm not Rich... but I saw an interview with Steve Wozniak a couple of weeks ago when the Toyota runaway stuff was just starting back up and he mentioned that his Prius had run away a few times. Woz seemed convinced that the problem was in software and that he could "almost" duplicate it. The "floor mat" solution was, frankly, ludicrous. What could they have been thinking? Even so, I would like a Prius... but I want a plug-in version (4 cents a kw/hour here). Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA www.nwkayaking.net On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 9:16 AM, Bradford R.
