How many times you going to cross-post this?

How do you know Woz didn't have the cruise control set for a higher speed,
and in using "the cruise control to accelrate the car" he didn't bump the
paddle and reset to the higher speed? The way the cruise works in this
car, and most modern cars, is that the last set speed is retained in
computer memory. If you bump the paddle to "Resume/Accel" the last set
speed is reset and the car accelerates to that speed.

Your continued posts, with no interjection fromyou, indicates you might
not know a lot about cars, and should probably buy a year's pass from your
local bus company.

He will only give it to the NTSB I bet, he is smarter than us, he
wont give it to toyota cleaning corp. The Woz, sure they would want
"his" car, think what you could learn with some hidden surveylance
equipment, Apples next billion dollar inovations.

One complainant with nothing to gain is Wozniak. His complaint is the
only one I would trust, and you dont think he is smart enough to know
how to operate his car, get real. Toy just admitted TODAY, recently
sold Pruses are reprogrammed so this doesnt happen, their new boss
isnt so smart, this backlash will go on all year, used toys will go
down, and the Pripuss isnt the only hybrid in town.

For you working is a foreign concept. Isn't it?

Whats the matter, Toy sales a bit slow these days, stocks down and so
is the pension. Lets see, Priuss brakes, and cruise controll, Fords
hybrid is reviewed as a better driving car anyway
