i think the owner's of these cars who are too stupid to install their own floormats, or figure out what to do when the throttle is stuck open should be chemically castrated as well as their offspring.

A stupid fix for a stupid recall for a stupid problem caused by stupid owners.

Excellent.

You would think the Scion would get the zip ties and the Lexus would get something more upscale like velcro.
