  • Why are people so stupid? Shift into neutral, turn the car off, coast to a stop. Toyota should never have recalled their vehicles. It might have been useful to weed some of the morons out of the gene pool before they reproduced.

  • seems very fake to me.

  • This is real. 

  • AHAHAHAHAH XDD 80 or something so fake XD

  • he should have called and said "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE" operator "are you on a ride?" man "no im just weeing out the window of my broken PRIUS!" hahahahaha

  • People are not stupid Wonderbung! The problem is that Toyota cars operate "fly by wire" control systems this means that the physical controls are connected to a computer not via cables. Switching off, selecting neutral has no effect when the computer malfunctions.

  • this guy's FAKE AND GAY!!!!!!

  • His shifter must be stuck in drive ...put it in neutral dumb shit and hit the brakes!!

    I agree it sounds like he is lying to cash in.

  • Ok hes either lying so that he can cash in or the car actually sped off by itself.

    Ever since the toyota recalls world wide more complaints started flooding in.

  • Bullshit

  • wow lmao i hope ur a girl.
