Really interesting cover story in the Press about issues Prius drivers have had with their previously-beloved vehicles. Seems they have this strange habit of accelerating at unpredictable times, with the extra bonus of the brakes not working too well. I wish the story had gone into some of the technical details - surely there's a mechanic or an engineer somewhere with a theory as to what might be the cause of this - but it did get a variety of tales of failures from a bunch of people, some of whose experiences were pretty harrowing. You have to figure it's just a matter of time before a big lawsuit is filed. Anyway, it's a good read, so check it out.
