Saw on the news - they took off the wheels to look at the brakes. According to reporter - the brakes looked OK - not like they had been used against the stuck throttle.

I left an emergency brake on once - ruined the back brakes in about 10 miles. One rotor was warped from the heat. I was only going 55 MPH.

I'd bet if his throttle stuck and he really was standing on the brakes - there would be damage to them.

I'd like to thank the Academy.... etc etc etc....

The real credit goes to my wife. She's been in Workers Comp since we've been married. Ten years ago, she and I would believe ANYTHING.....

Ten years later, she has changed my attitude towards mankind 180 degrees.

She has seen things that you can only dream of. Watching the video tapes of surveillance of " injured workers" with bad backs hauling a 10 point buck outta the woods, or rolling a 250 on bowling night, is PRICELESS !!!!!

Barefoot, thanks for the info, that's great !! Whaata POS !!!! UGGGGG...

Toyota's lawyers should have fun with this one.
