Runaway Prius Case A Hoax?

Jeffblue · 03-15-2010, 12:06 PM

"Toyota Prius owner Jim Sikes is in the spotlight after reporting the accelerator pedal of his blue 2008 Toyota Prius got stuck, pushing his car to speeds above 90 miles per hour on Interstate 8 in San Diego County on Monday afternoon."

Priuses can do 90? maybe it wasn't a hoax. maybe this is just a failsafe toyota built into their cars once you are late on too many payments.

I heard he went on a rampage at full throttle for 20 minutes! Police found him 1/4 mile down the road.

It's f$#*@ that someone would make a hoax out of a situation that is real. That guy might have been kidding, but Mark Saylor wasn't.
