The Desultory Defecation

So Toyota's in a whirlwind of unwanted media attention and rightly so. But let's me honest here, Toyota is not entirely to blame. Anyone who understands manufacturing and statistics knows it's impossible to make every car perfect. When you're producing millions of cars there are bound to be defects. Yes the defects should have been found and removed or rectified, but how many times has your car done something you didn't expect or want it to do? Shit happens, deal with it.

And before anyone thinks I'm on Toyota's side...I'm not, I'm just saying...why didn't they put the car in neutral? turn the key and shut the car off? The brakes will be harder to press but you will slow down a lot faster that way compared to trying to stop when your gas pedal is stuck on full throttle. Also, if you car doesn't go into neutral or the car keeps running after you turn it off and take the key out...the sticky accelerator is the least of your worries.
