Re: Toyotas acceleration issues
I usually assume it means that a bad driver screwed something up. The level of competence required to get a driver's license is way too low.

Anyone wanna take bets that this incident is going to be blamed on the accelerator??? For those not from around here, keep in mind, she took out and entire light post...that's either some serious speed or some persistent pushing on the accelerator.

So, she can sue the car company, the light pole manufacturer, the owner of the building, the builder of the building, the company that put in the sidewalk, the store, the owner of the store, her local dealership, marvel comics, the tire company, her insurance company, everybody else's insurance company, the brake pad company, the cars parked in front and back of her, possibly the Friars in the bakeshop next door.
I think that covers it...how soon before the first lawyer gets to her and her story changes from "maybe I hit the accelerator" to "I have suffered emotional stress from somebody else's negligence"?
This one individual may not do that, she will be rare.

Not sure about old fashioned antique streetlights like this one, but modern day ones are designed to give way.

Yeah, you could hit those things with a bat and they'd probably fold in half

I'm shocked they would withhold taking about their findings

Might hurt Obama Motors?

Re: Toyotas acceleration issues
This sordid affair is another affirmation of Occam's Razor. The simple explanation for these accidents was operator error. The complicated explanation was some sort of unprecedented mechanical or electronic problem. So we launched an expensive witch hunt (both in terms of the actual costs of the investigation and the damage to Toyota) and we discovered there were no witches. Paraphrasing Ray Donovan: where does Toyota go to get its reputation back?
I know, I know, everybody was just doing their job--trying to protect the American people from sleezy corporatists, blah, blah, blah.
