    Default Re: Runaway Prius owner was told his car isn't on the Recall list

    I'll still keep his car if he doesn't want it, he said that he would never use it again, so why go to waste let me go over and pick up the prius.

    This is totally awesome. All the unintended acceleration phobes should watch this.

    Well it seems that his story is deflating just like the balloon boy's balloon did:

    FOXNews.com - Pattern of Wear on Runaway Prius Brakes Raises Questions

    Investigation of runaway Prius vehicle found a particular pattern of wear on the car's brakes that raises questions about the driver's version of the event. Investigators were also unable to make the Prius speed out of control as California man detailed.

    ...

    During two hours of test drives of Sikes' car Thursday, technicians failed to duplicate the same experience that Sikes described, according to the memo prepared for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

    "Every time the technician placed the gas pedal to the floor and the brake pedal to the floor the engine shut off and the car immediately started to slow down," the memo said.
    Wonder what's going to happen to him once they find out he was lying about the whole event, jail time or just a big fine? I hope he gets jail time for this stunt!

    This won't be the last time someone fakes unintended acceleration for attention ... they should come down hard on this douche and send a message.
