  1. I'm gonna call people like this a "Palinite."

    Palinite - n - one who acts in a similar fashion, be it out of self promotion or stupidity, of Sarah Palin

    Instead of putting it in neutral, what would Sarah do? Gee willikers, lets call 9/11. Really, wtf!

    Among the many unanswered questions as to what Prius owner James Sikes actually did or didn’t do to try to bring his runaway car to a stop, one claim of his definitely smells. He says he received a recall letter from Toyota, and when he took it in to the dealer, he was told his car was not on the recall lists. Ouch!

    According to a story by Reuters, “Sikes said he had received a recall notice to take his car into a Toyota dealership; but when he did, he was told that his car was not on recall lists, he told reporters.” Only one big little problem with that: the recall for his particular Prius hasn’t actually started yet.

    Toyota Safety Recall 90L covers every gen2 Prius MY 2004-2009 (Sikes Prius is a 2008). This recall is for the mat entrapment issue, and involves the cutting and trimming of the pedal to eliminate possible interference with floor mats. But current Toyota documents and a confirmation from my local Toyota dealership shows the starting date for the Prius as “TBD”.

    Since eight million cars are involved, it appears that the sticky CTS pedal recall (Recall A0A) and all Camrys (regardless of which pedal) are the first in line. And it would only create confusion to send out letters to come to the dealership when they aren’t prepared to do the work.

    Either Sikes went to the dealer for other reasons, in which case they were correct to turn him away. Or he’s making it up.

    Nothing at all against a swing club, especially a multi level one (sounds interesting). But listing it under the same phone number as your realtor’s office is a bit, how shall we say, ill-advised.

    How many minutes do we give them for the first pictures to show up?

  6. Not really. The mainstream news is not reporting this and 99.9% of the Sheep will just absorb what CNN,NBC etc.. will put up as news.

    You will never hear about this on the mainstream media. Maybe because Government Motors and the Whitehouse have control of the media?
