    Toyota City (JNN) - Toyota announced today a new recall to fix Toyotas suspected of having problems with unintended acceleration. "We're convinced this is a hardware problem," a Toyota spokesperson said. "Therefore, we are sure this new hardware fix should end the dangers of runaway Toyotas." The new device is deployed using current air bag activators. A large red button will be placed on the dash, about four inches in diameter. When the driver presses the button, the new hardware will be activated.

    I don't think that'll fit in my hatch. Wait... that sounds wrong.

    Now there's an idea. We could wire the Easy button into the Power Button cicuit. I think it woud make the start up process much easier!!!
