Brilliant addition to the site.
I, too, have lived to tell about an accelerator sticking. It was a Ford Ranger delivery truck. It was a wheezy 2.5, and when I drove it, it was to the floor. Well, one afternoon, the pedal got stuck, on of all ironic things, the floor mat. What did I do? I said "Oh Shit!" and then popped the thing in neutral. I yanked the mat back and back into drive I went.
I believe I was accelerating from about 35mph probably as slow as all the Toyota's were. I mean, hey, there could have been some other outside forces at work that caused people to freak and not know what to do -- like texting, for instance.
In all seriousness, I feel bad for anyone who has lost their lives, as well as their families.

Toyota Recalls Prevent Darwinism
A girl at work has a 09 Camry. I should forward this to her to make sure she knows how to survive should the pedal stick. I often wonder if we will end up having a sedate trip to lunch or a rowdy ride with no end...
