Brake issue is with the ABS either kicking out or not breaking enough on rough roads (always a problem with any ABS system) Might be an issue with cruise control too but that's been around for years. My '98 Tacaoma acted crazy a few times on hills.

I'm not sure that's the accelerator issue. The notice being sent out talks about excess friction building up in the attachment point and causing the metal to stick.

As far as the brake issue, I'm not sure it's an issue at all. We have the car that's being looked at (2010 Prius) and Toyota told us that they are receiving reports that the brake "feels odd", nothing about not being able to brake. I'm wondering if it's people just not used to driving a hybrid.

If they do recall it, maybe I'll have them fix the fact that the windshield wiper low setting is wired in reverse. :rolleyes:

G:cool::cool:d move. Based on what I'm hearing, you'd have ended up either really really late, or stranded somewhere overnight.

Wegmans' cakes are good too. Much pricier than Costco cakes, though, so for children's birthdays I use Costco cakes. For adult birthdays, Wegmans for adults consumption, Costco for kids consumption!!!!

I would go with LCC. I've done Ryan Air from Sweden to Ireland and as long as you don't go over their weight limit on your bags, you're fine. Their planes are clean and their FAs are nice. They offer BOBs.

I've done RyanAir to Dublin from the UK. Cost me One pound base fare plus 12 pounds in taxes each way!

See ya in HNL tomorrow!

You lucky ducky! Wish I could be in HNL instead of NJ. :(

^ I'm with Mrsbdjohns1. I have a very small roll-aboard, less than 20" and I can manage quite fine with that for a week's business trip, or a week's vacation. I am a very light packer. I learned very quickly when I was backpacking around the world in my early 20's, that if you pack it you have to carry it, and it ain't fun toting around a bagful of stuff you don't really need!

Is this a MR?
