An anchor you throw out the window, and a quick release floor panel so
you can use your feet.

Got it.
Like I did on my nailed together orange box go cart
in the 40s.

Shoes are as expensive as brake pads now.

LOL!!! That's a good one!

Well it's basically a software update that the dealer can download
into the ECU so that when the accelerator and brake pedals are pressed
at the same time, the brake pedal will cancel out the accelerator
actuation. Expert said that if this was in place, more than 30 lives
may have been spared.

My understanding is that Toyota has no plan yet to update vehicles
already sold -- only for new production. Sounds like a terrible plan
to me.

So maybe a 30 minute dealer fix toyota bean counters think isnt worth
the cost, that its cheaper to pay a few claims then fix it. The
families of the 30 dead and many injured deserve compensation and
damages
