    Wow the same guy did it again, I cant believe it! So this Norwegian guy is even out-doing Sikes in the "I'm Stoopid" contest. It must be time for the Americans to get Sikes out of retirement and back out on the freeway for another run. They can't be out-done by Norway!

    The same driver did it again.. This time with a rental on the same road. Police says medical issues may be the cause. Something smells fishy to me..

    That's why I have a strict personal policy in believing in Yettis, Loch Ness monsters, Ogopogos and runaway Priuses. Not until I see it myself! :)

    We have a 2005 (135,000 miles) that my wife drives and the accelerator did stick down on her once. It was the floor mat that caused the problem, she reached down and pulled it back and,

    OMG... THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND SHE IS STILL ALIVE. :eek:

    You can't fix stupid!!!! :D

    No, this is a REAL hi-speed accident against the guard rail.

    Slower than the alledged Prius, which just had a few scratches.

    Perhaps the Prius is built a bit better...

    Still, it's NOT a tank. :D

    Didn't you recognize the European car in that accident?

    Let's not confuse the issue by dragging science into it. Next thing you know someone will use logic, and the whole thing will be a mess.
