And do you know for a fact that the transmission is mechanically
shifted or if it's all electronically controlled? If it is
electronically controlled, do you KNOW that when that model Toyota is
being driven that it can be shifted into neutral?

Hey, I know that. I really don't blame him, and I thought it was awful of
Rush to poke at him that way.

I understand Fox did it to show the full effect of the disease. My step
father had it, and by the time they drugged him up enough to stop the
trmoring, he was completely out of it.

Mike has my best wishes for sure. It is a horrible disease. But I knew
why he did what he did, in order to get his point across. And believe me,
it worked for me.

I may be a Conservative, but I DO have a HEART, ya know!

Why I don't believe you could ruin a transmission by mewrely full
throttle shifting?

I'm sure you're not telling us something. like the lady who just couldn't
stop her Lexus, no matter what. Riiight.

And what does being a DH have to do with it? I saw Fox on CNN (there's an
oxymoron...) before Limbaugh even mentioned it, and I did NOT agree with
Limbaugh on it. I have relatives with Parkinson's.

so there.

Nope. I don't. What about the OFF button?
So, do YOU know if it can or can't? Add something instead of blather for
once. You seems to be adept at ruining transmissions.

If anyone wants to lend me their Lexus (Raaaayyyyy?) I will GLADLY find
out what happens at 125 MPH.
