Default Pedals, drivers blamed for out of control Toyotas

I guess we can all breathe a sigh of relief - no unintended acceleration. just don't drive stupid :-)

haha,, believe it or not,, im very happy with my Sienna.. I actually like the Sienna more than the IsF hahaha.. Main reason,, I hated the fact that i was paying around $1000 a month for the IsF and all it could do was a 13 flat at the track.. Dont get me wrong,, I didnt get this car for straightaway speeds either.. but just something wasnt computing right.. I had a 96 civic in my garage that did a mid 13.. still not as fast as the IsF.. but the civic had 4dr,, a very nice boom boom in the trunk,, tv in the dash.. and the main thing.. $0 monthly payment and insurance costed me $250 every 6 months.. Anyways,, funny thing is,, jumping into the Sienna didnt really feel too too much difference compared to the IsF interior wise... lol I got all the same luxury items that I had in the F as I do in my Sienna Limited now.. My next project is,,,,,, Lowering springs on the Sienna... lmao...

not to go off topic but head on over to toyotanation.com and siennachat.com and join us minivan weirdos over there

there was a plan on a group buy for eibach lowering springs, but it went bust

if anything, just get the SE springs
