[scaredyclassic]

out of control realtor pretending to be going really fast; the whoel thing seems like performance art, interpretive of the real estate crisis…

I’d say the odds are 50-50 he’s lieing…there are definitely some suspicious things about his actions and his past.

But that doesn’t make him a liar wrt the Prius. Not sure I’d go out of my way to back him up though, either.

At least the CHP doesn’t appear to be taking sides. Just stating the facts as they witnessed them.

The California Highway Patrol officer who responded last week to an emergency call about a runaway Toyota Prius described the driver as visibly shaking and said he “appeared to be in shock” once the car came to a stop, according to the police report released Wednesday.
….
In the police report, responding Officer Todd Neibert said he “could smell the heated brakes which indicated they had been used extensively” and said he saw the brake lights periodically illuminate as he came upon the car.

When he pulled alongside the car, “I could see the driver sat up off his seat indicating that he was possibly applying the brake pedal using his body weight.” He said the Prius slowed slightly — down to about 85 mph — before accelerating again to 95 mph, according to the report.

As far as hitting the gas & brakes 250 times, if I was trying to dislodge something that was stuck, I might do that myself…

I guess I shouldn’t mention it that Ford isn’t exactly living up to what it says about being serious about quality either. Read my previous link about owner grips with the Ford Edge. I’m kinda bummed about it, since I was hoping it would have been a higher quality vehicle.
