[Shop-talk] Toyota Pedal Brouhaha

David asks...

>motor shut off or out of gear.  Why doesn't this work?

David, that is what happens in the 1000s of cases where people aren't 
dying.  If you notice, most of the fatalities left no time for that. (they 
guy that was in a parking lot and his car launched over the cliff.)

Wow, I can't believe all this is turning into quite a cover up as Toyota 
sales were increasing.  Actually now I hope someone can connect the dots 
and find an actually cover-up in Toyota.  The 1000s of affected people 
deserve no less than that.
