And there you go an out side third party with facts. So yes I can accept this and yes I was wrong. Oh BTW spoon I have to say your are 100% correct there are a lot of LEO that are aragent idiots!

Thanks Hannibal for posting a link backed up with facts. Now the question becomes why was Toyota fined since the DOT proved that none of these crashes could be linked to the TCM. Make you stop and say WTF really?

And BTW the way I did google this using several different key words and never found anything from an reliable source, showing the data Car and Driver reported.

Doss anyone have another jar of catsup, this damn crow tastes like chit!

i've eaten so much crow over the years I've got pen feathers! I think Toyota settled to avoid the resurgence of negative publicity. Facts are kinda boring. Hearsay is much more fun and spreads like wildfire and is usually accepted as fact. The floor mats in my Prius are secured twice at the rear of the mat and is cut way short of the new short gas pedal.
