    I am hearing lots of gossip that he actually staged the whole incident, that he could have stoped anytime. That, because he is underwater on some of his properties, owes money, car payments & taxes, near bankrupt, he saw the chance when he was turned away from the dealer, to make money taking advantage of the recent Toyota troubles and incidents/accidents. Sure, at the cost of destroying the car and perhaps risking his life. He is also an avid lottery player, he won once some 50K or so.

    The fact that he is underwater and behind payments doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Many people are, and they don’t do something crazy like this.

    What do you think?

    It happened to a 60+ old nearly bankrupt real estate agent, who managed to stop the car, but not until after giving the media a chance to get some good shots.

    The life experience says it is a stunt. Another ‘incident’ happened yesterday. Unsurprisingly, politicians were there to jump on the bandwagon. A guy walks in, says “Darrell Issa sends me” and goes to evening news when the NHTSA guy refuses to break the protocol for him.

    The NHTSA is a bureaucratic tool.. Toyota approved for the guy Issa sent…NHTSA was the one that objected.

    It is certainly possible, but not likely.

    I would say there is a higher likelihood that Mr. Toyoda shed crocodile tears during his Congressional testimony.

    Just my opinion, of course.
