    Cut me off at
    your own risk.
    I have Prius brakes
    and Toyota
    accelerator pedals.

    Mechanic: Somebody set up us the Prius!
    Driver: MFD screen turn on!
    Toyota: All your brakes are belong to us
    Toyota: You have no chance to survive make your time.
    Captain: For great justice.

    I knew there was a reason we don't have 'steer by wire'.

    Here's one just for Doc Willie: "(Brake) resistance is futile- you will be accelerated".

    "Once a problem was identified with the pedals, Toyota really had no choice but to launch the recall. "

    Actually, we only have Toyota's word for it that this is the problem. I believe it is software. So:

    BEWARE! Acceleration and braking controlled by Microsoft.

    If the brakes fail, REBOOT.

    If I'm going 90 MPH, it's because I'm in a Toyota and don't know how to turn off the key [replace with: "push the power button" for Prius]

    And one to print on an upper windshield sun block (in reverse so it can be read in the rearview mirror of the car ahead, and with a Toyota logo before and after the text): LET ME PASS! My throttle is stuck!
