question about sudden acceleration

Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem and I was wondering if anyone could help me sort it out. Even since purchasing a new Toyota Yaris a year ago, I've occasionaly encountered sudden sexual acceleration. Ever since my sex drive has accelerated, I can't seem to stop it. With my new Yaris, i've driven to dozens of whorehouses in Nevada and can't seem to stop. My car is fine otherwise, but the drive just won't stop accelerating. Should I sue Toyota, get a new car, get it inspected at the dealership?

Get new rubbers. That should give you better control of your acceleration and prevent unwanted complications.

Whaaa... Sue Toyota b/c you are doin your part to help the floundering US economy

WTF

I mean come on ( pardon the pun )

But if the Yaris drove itself with you in it, then I guess you have a kidnap case , maybe . I don't know if a machine can be charged with kidnapping .

^+ 1

that's right !



BTW, OP, have you considered a rear bar to increase stiffness in the ride? Some members claim better traction, too, IDNK, though, I haven't tried it myself

I had a car that had auto-pilot. It turned into the drive through lane at the liquor store on my way home from work rather I wanted it to or not.

I'm thinking we can slow the acceleration down by using a lower viscosity lube on your engine...

Question is, is he going make a second post? Looks like a one poster. He might be posting the same post in every Toyota forum.
