I am a straight guy who has quite a few openly gay friends...whatever makes you happy guys. They don't get on me for my mistake of being married...

This is a great story...keep us updated! This is a great story...keep us updated!

He is just lucky that she did not have him "work" on a car that she accidently stuffed through a shredder because her 'senility' made her forget he was in there. As for me, aside from the diaper and bed sores...lock me in a junk yard when I get older...I will be fine.

OOOH! An EXCUSE to buy that Yukon XL or Acadia you always wanted! Congratulations. I know my kids are the one ray of happiness I can count on daily...I wish you both the best. Oh, and it is now time to find that father/child project car...fyi!

YES! DO IT! YES!...Screw that bondo Camaro and get working on that Trans AM.

This is the problem with ANY government running ANY program - they say it will cost a buck...multiply that buck by 1,000,000. And that is not getting political and choosing a side. This was a wasteful program from the start and it was bound to have this kind of result. ALL politicians have very little real world experience so they do not understand the REAL costs of living out here in the real world. Further. they are never held accountable for these kinds of overages when they occur...it is not thier money nor does it affect them monetarily. And I really want to know where Edmunds came up with the remark about 'most of the sales would have occurred anyway' - that seems like a broad stroke of a pen to me...especially in this market. was this non-political enough?

Any of the soulless generic foreign crap that people are buying in droves today. Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan - and to an extent Honda. Not a single car any of them make tell me to even consider them for purchase. And the Donks...don't get them either, and it saddens me to see great cars that should be kept up made into rolling cartoons that you need a ladder to get into and a lifetime membership at the local transmission shop to keep those big meats turning. I Can dig a well done lowrider though - the work that goes into those cars and they care that they are given really make them rolling sculpture.

It's the ones that DO give you a F^ck that are hot!!! I am currently hanging with a 22 year old (I am 37) and I have a hard time when listening to the radio and an old song from the 90's comes on...I was in College...she was in FIRST GRADE. But everything else about her is absolutely wonderful. Somebody will be a lucky man some day.

THAT may be the best bit of investigative journalism ever! I actually laughed at the thought of the guy taking out a brand new Lexus and pretty much TRYING to destroy it. The brakes are DONE on that car. Pads and rotors should be pretty glazed. And the thought of slipping the trans into gear/N/R/P while having one's foot on the floor caused me a great laugh. Kudos goes out to the author on this one. If you have not read the link...it basically says you can put the car in Neutral and you can shut the car off by holding the start button for 3 seconds. Two steps that would have saved four lives.

Is it time for a T-shirt program to help fund this? I wish I had the time and $$$

I propose that somebody here goes and test drives an ES350 NOW and tries the tips we have learned here to see if they can stop the car. Who is game? Step 1: Throw floormats out of drivers area of car...then drive.

true...and from what I read of the incident, the brakes were BURNING when they were passing other motorists on the highway. Literally people saw flames out of the wheels. That must be scary as all hell to be in a car possessed. And knowing they all died for what amounts to a $20.00 part and some seriously flawed 'engineering'. Sad.

It was an out of control car...I say slam it up against the guardrail and let FRICTION stop the damned thing. I am going to see what happens on the M5 if you slap it to N or press the start button while it is moving. Be good to know if mine did this.

NARF!!!!! This WOULD be fun...I have always wanted to do this.

Mustang: If you are in Cedar Rapids, I can recommend Albert Auto for their service. They are usually pretty cheap, and Chad and his guys do great work. They are car guys through and through. Good luck!
