floor mats, part deux

October 10th, 2009 § Comments Off § permalink

Oh yes, so this is sort of old news, but Toyota has issued a recall for something like 38 million vehicles because they contain floor mats which could jam the accelerator and lead to fatal crashes. The 2010 Prius is not in that list, but I’m paranoid enough to think that that’s merely because not enough people have the vehicle yet.

They want me to pay 200 on top of MSRP for pieces of rubber which could lead to my demise? Thank you, but I’d rather die from a bacon overdose if you don’t mind.

And here’s hoping I made the right call in waiting for the dark gray prius instead of settling for a dark blue one today…

you want how much?

Who the hell do these asshats think they are, charging 200 dollars for floormats? It’s a piece of rubber that you step on. $200. Really?? REALLY? I mean, do these floor mats massage your feet and self clean or something? Are they perhaps coated in teflon and, in an emergency or accident, magically protect you from harm?

No. They’re ordinary pieces of rubber that are meant to catch the dirt. So why… WHY IN THE NAME OF ANYTHING REASONABLE would I pay $200???
