Default Wow. Looks like 1986 and Audi all over again!

Mark my words, a year and a half from now, this one will go down as idiotic driver error as well.<ul><li><a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&amp;cid=568&amp;ncid=568&amp;e=36& amp;u=/nm/20040309/bs_nm/autos_toyota_probe_dc_1">http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&amp;cid=568&amp;ncid=568&amp;e=36& amp;u=/nm/20040309/bs_nm/au

Default Yep, the American way....

Kid takes gun to school. Teacher's fault.
Kid kills person. Video games fault.
Idiot smashed someone. Car surged on its own.
Social dispair. Canadians did it.
