Actually, my friend and co-worker's mom and dad went off a cliff in Morro Bay (or somewhere thereabouts) because of this same acceleration issue and his mom was killed. So it's a bit personal and I am sensitive to it. I think it's appropriate that Toyota feel the heat. I just can't stand the fact that Waxman sticks his pug nose into EVERYTHING except what I think matters. Believe me, I'm well left of Cageyar on virtually everything political. But I guess we do agree on something.

I didn't say anything bad about BMW and I'm also highly surprised that Toyota has ignored it for so long. But it's not that unusual for companies at the top to get way too arrogant and think nothing can be wrong with their products whether cars, software, or whatever. I wouldn't be surprised to see some heads roll at Toyota.

Anyhow, I'm happy to hear my ABS is performing normally even if I don't like it at all under certain circumstances. And I'd like to hope ABS is getting much better on the newer machines.
