事情更有趣了

The guy that was all over the news because he couldn't get his runaway Prius whoa'd up is a Corvette owner. Which means one of two things: he has never driven his Corvette at 90 mph (doubtful) or he just went brain dead when he lost control of the Prius speed.
Unless you have been stuck under your C4 the past few days, you probably have seen and heard James Sikes frantic 911 made while his Toyota Prius was stuck going 94 mph on a San Diego highway.

Turns out Sikes is a member of a car club that owns the hottest production sports car made in the US: the Corvette Owners Club.
Once Corvette owners get wind of his lack of ability and panic at buzzing down the SoCal freeway at a measly 90 mph with no apparent braking ability, the razzing will be ruthless.
Despite what Toyota says...
“There is no new recall being planned for the Prius to address this issue. To be clear, the 2004-2009 Prius was part of Toyota’s November 2, 2009 announcement of a voluntary safety recall campaign to address floor mat entrapment in certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles.”
The Corvette Owners Club might decide to issue a recall of their own - if not for James Sikes Corvette, at least for the jacket.
Tirekicker had this to say:
"Now let me get this straight: A Corvette owner...who panics about doing 80 miles an hour on the interstate and later tells a magazine he didn't put the car in neutral because he "thought it would stop too suddenly"?

To borrow a phrase from at least two other automotive blogs: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

IF Sikes belongs to the Corvette Owners Club of San Diego ...he's in for some serious ribbing at the next meeting.

Even better, his real estate website shows a company car...a PT Cruiser."
