Area Man Hoping for Unintended Acceleration in His Toyota So He Can Escape Recall News Cycle
Most people want to avoid unintended acceleration in their cars. You could even say some fear it. But not Ron Brooks, of Lancaster, PA.
“I need my gas pedal to go all Hal from 2001 on me. I’ll be pointing the car towards brick walls just in case it becomes stuck, and that way I can die,” Brooks morbidly told MetaCars today.
Why the macabre view? “I need to escape from the Toyota recall news. I tried turning off the internet, the computer, the TV. I stopped getting newspapers. But now when I’m out in my Camry, people will stop me and say ‘hey do you feel safe in that thing?’. I just want to die in peace.”
Can he arrange to drive into me? I’m sick of it, too…and my loved ones could probably use an extra few hundred thousand dollars.
