I think the give away is the video of him getting BACK IN THE CAR to line it up with the tow truck. If my car just did 90mph with my feet on the brakes I would NEVER get back in that POS

So, it turns out the dude had declared bankruptcy. His Benz, Dodge truck, boat, and motorhome had been repo'd.

The Prius was on a lease, and was a couple of months from having to be turned in.

McNews says: he hopes to get a replacement car out of this ordeal...

Toyota's lawyers should have fun with this one.

My personal opinion is, they have an electronics problem that they can't find. If they can't find it, they can't fix it. So they're blowing smoke about spacers in the throttle linkage, floor mat causing the pedal to jam, etc., etc..

Brian, it gets better.

This from Forbes.com: (the last sentence is great)

Sikes also has a history of filing insurance claims for allegedly stolen items that are slowly coming to light. In 2001 he filed a police report with the Merced County Sheriff's Department for $58,000 in stolen property, including jewelry, a prosumer mini-DV camera and gear, and $24,000 in cash, according to Fox40 in Sacramento. His bankruptcy documents show a 2008 payment of $7,400 for an allegedly stolen saxophone and clothes.

For what it's worth, Sikes owned and operated a Web site called AdultSwingLife.com
