well...........
I would have been much happier with a simple explantion in words or what the
fail-safe methods are to shut down a runaway Prius.
If I hadn't met Paul in person I'd be tempted to say 'Is that you in the
video Paul ? ' ....lol -:)
shaking my head here ..I am highly in favor of near unrestriced freedom of
speech and expression..
but .......whew .....
and I don't mind the F word at all used for expression here and there ...
but man ..
I sure can't watch anything like this to the end ...
too boring and , content is about 5 % ..the rest is just drama and baloney.
I sure hope the guy in the video does'nt speak to his girl friend or
friends and people in his life like he speaks the the video camera in this
vid.
The dominating experience I get with this vid is what an offensive oaf the
guy in the video is ..
I never even got to learn much about stopping a Prius.
Got a decent useful educational video about stopping a runaway Prius ?...
instead of the rediculous major Turn Off this one is ?
ah ...thanks but no thanks for posting it !
oh ...and for a Fridae subject - I just want to express appreaciation for
all the vanagon wisedom and support/help there is on this list !
The total combined briliance/knowledge is most impressive.
And for those who don't know....Paul G. is heavily into Prius cars ...
about like we are with vanagons I believe., and he's a vanagon guy too !
