Loved Ones - Toyota

...and now NASA has been hired for millions (with Governmental oversight of their process) to investigate Toyota's unintended acceleration problem. DOT and Toyota failed so now it is time to call in the big guns, the pros from Dover!

Since we are killing the space programs I guess we have to do something with NASA. It is now National Auto Safety Administration.....

Later,

It will be interesting to see how that turns out. My first thought is it will require extensive technology sharing/openess from Toyota, otherwise how will NASA look at it without reverse engineering?

Good one Dan - Nat'l Automotive Safety Agency

I'm wondering if the NASA team will be putting on a "Rocket Type" fail safe mechanism if it runs away?:laughing:

 

[Defective]

Seems to me...

One fairly common safety system for runaway rockets is a self-destruct...

 

[FallbrookFarmer]

Easy solution! Ejection Seats!

Solid fuel rocket engine pointing forward with panic button to stop the car in the event of a runaway. A whole new reason to look in the rear view and say "Oh Sh**, There's a Pryus behind me!" :laughing:

See life was better in the old days, You never would have heard someone say "S--- there's a Yugo behind me, and they're pushing it too fast"

Kind of reminds me of this. dont know how many here remember this song.

Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler)

cho: Beep beep (beep beep),
Beep beep (beep beep),
His horn went beep beep beep (beep beep).

While riding in my Cadillac, what to my surprise,
A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one-third my size.
The guy must have wanted to pass me out
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep).
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.

cho:

I pushed my foot down to the floor to give the guy the shake,
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind, he still had
on his brake.
He must have thought his car had more guts,
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep).
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.

cho:

My car went in to passing gear and we took off with gust,
And soon we were doing ninety, must have left him in the dust.
When I peeked in the mirror of my car, I couldn't believe my eyes.
The little Nash Rambler was right behind, you'd think that
guy could fly.

cho:

Now we're doing a hundred and ten, it certainly was a race,
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy would be a big disgrace.
The guy must have wanted to pass me out as he kept on tooting his horn.
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.

cho:

Now we're doing a hundred and twenty, as fast as I could go.
The Rambler pulled alongside of me as if we were going slow.
The fellow rolled his window down and yelled for me to hear:
"Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"+

Yep, Wedge, I remember it well and really like it. If anyone wants to hear the music with it, try YouTube. I think that's the original singers.

 

[Egon]

I remember it too.
