toyota recall

Yea, Toyota has got a big old mess on their hands. I bet Mr. Toyoda is wishing he'd waited about 6 months before he took over. They got to fix it but I got a suggestion for everyone until then (or just something everybody should know).

If you're driving down the road in a car (any car) and the accelerator sticks, here's what you should do:

TURN IT OFF!!!

Just turn off the key, no, you won't have power steering or power brakes but you can steer/brake a little AND YOU'LL BE SLOWING DOWN. You can put it in neutral if you think of it but cut it off.

I heard a 911 call on the news today, the poor guy driving had the sense to call 911 and tell the operator that he was accelerating out of control but didn't know what else to do. Come on guy, what'd you call 911 for? To make sure there was an ambulance at the scene of the accident. Put a note on your dash if you think you'll have trouble remembering but just turn off the damn key....
