    OK OK welcome and I have to comment on the Toyotas. The last prius issues in the news were FAKED by the owners of those cars.

    Aint a thing wrong with a Yota car. Every car I rent is a Yota and I have never had a problem in one.
    Sorry man I could not help it.

    Yea, I have the official Toyota recall release documents that state there were only 19 confirmed cases on camrys and avalons out of the 4.3 million recalled.

    The prius burning through the brakes was complete bs. The hybrid uses regenerative braking. It turns off the gas engine and uses the two electric motors to slow down the vehicle. This allows it to charge the batteries when you brake and only uses the hydraulic brake during hard or emergency braking. If it had been a camry the guy in California used for his stunt Toyota would have probably just wrote him a check.

    I know I said I was not going there but it happens.
