Happy Weekend! *smooches*
TheWordWire says
October 2, 2009 at 2:13 pmThat’s precisely why I don’t buy a new car. It has nothing to do with the economy or the fact that my own 99 Honda is paid for and in good shape. I just don’t trust all these new-fangled accessories.

October 2, 2009 at 2:26 pmTruth be told, the after-market driver’s floormat in our 1995 Honda Odyssey (198,000 miles, thank you very much) gets pushed forward and folded up by its regular driver, my DH. Whenever I get in to drive, I find myself pulling the mat down & trying to stomp it into submission because I am afraid I will have the Toyota mat problem.
Dusty mess, that mat!
Have a great weekend, p.j.

October 2, 2009 at 5:53 pmFloor mats. Floor Mats?! Now we have to be afraid of floor mats in our vehicles. Now I’m piqued to find out how they figured it out.
Dr. Liz says
October 2, 2009 at 6:19 pmGood thing we don’t have floor mats. Because this might just be the tip of Much Larger Conspiracy!!!! (And no, I’m NOT wearing my tinfoil hat at the moment – the CIA doesn’t listen during dinner time!)

October 2, 2009 at 8:43 pmAh ha! Finally, justification for buying American. God bless my Chrysler Crossfire (even if it is made in Germany, and not necessarily American at all).

October 2, 2009 at 10:15 pmWe don’t need no stinkin’ floormats!
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
October 2, 2009 at 10:42 pmGive me those floormats. I’ll take them over the ones I had to throw in my yard after the cat peed on them.
The cat peed on them because I thought it was possible to take a very sick, feverish cat to the vet without a carrier. I had to think that because I didn’t have a carrier.
In any case, whatever we do, we canNOT let the terrorists know about cat pee or else we’re all doomed.

Dawn in Austin says
October 3, 2009 at 9:55 amHeard this on the morning radio the other day. A caller called in to say it’s true. That he and his girlfriend were driving on a long stretch of highway (right near my house, btw) and got it up to about 110 when the floormat got stuck under the pedal. After much ado, they were able to get it unstuck by her reaching into the driver’s side floorwell to unstick the mat. at 110mph. Yeah, the caller really thought it was really dangerous to have floor mats like that and they should be recalled before someone gets killed. oy vey.
dexter says
October 3, 2009 at 10:45 amI had a restraining order against my floormats after an incident while driving from Philadelphia to Buggtussle. At a rest stop outside of Buggtussle my mats jumped up onto the drivers seat and proceeded to smack me in the face and threaten me. This was right after we consumed large quantities of mushrooms.
Ms. Karen says
October 3, 2009 at 11:37 amwait…wait… Buggtussle is real? It’s a place? I — what? Oh, yeah, sorry about the floor mats — anyway, I always used bug tussle to describe my two little boys when they were wrasslin’ because they looked like a couple of bugs, um, tussling. Oh, and I had the same floor mat problems in one of our old cars, but I can’t remember… Buggtussle is real… That’s so — what ADD meds?

October 3, 2009 at 1:43 pm…………Walt and Bert and Dondi are living in Dumas Texas, in a motel transformed into apartments when commercial oil production brought transient workers to the area. This particular motel complex is set back from the road behind a dismal mechanic’s garage, overlooking nothing, nothing, nothing………………………………………
Cmon boss, its been 4 months already!!!

October 3, 2009 at 7:36 pmMy mats are killer. One time, they pulled a knife to me. After I threw them away, their family came after me.

Ms. Karen says
October 4, 2009 at 11:50 amOh, I get it… Buggtussle = Jed Clampett. That’ll teach me to watch Star Trek instead of the Beverly Hillbilliys.

October 4, 2009 at 2:35 pmWe have one of these cars w/the supposed recall. I have no idea how the FACTORY floor mat can get jammed up in there. They have a hook at the rear of the floor mat that keeps it in place with a good 2″ of space all around the accelerator.
It’s unfortunate that people died b/c of this, but I bet you a nickel they had aftermarket floor mats. Even the ones they are showing on TV don’t look like factory floor mats.
Use common sense.
AmberStar says
October 4, 2009 at 7:16 pmOur floor mats have tried to cause casualties in my family for ages. They must be Sicilian or something. I dunno. They are using the alias of Avalon, but this one is milder than some we have had where the whole mat had to be taken our to drive the car!
AmberStar says
October 4, 2009 at 7:18 pmIf my car asked me “How do you like me now?! I’d be selling that sucker in a heartbeat.
muskrat says
October 4, 2009 at 9:58 pmKnowing I’m helping to free the free world of violent floormats makes PTSD from two trips to Iraq worth it. It really does.
Traci says
October 4, 2009 at 10:37 pmThank you for this post. My & my husband’s car’s aren’t involved in the recall but my mother’s is! & she didn’t know about it.
Alissa says
October 14, 2009 at 1:12 pmThis recall is a direct result from an accident which occured in San Diego not too long ago. A lovely family of 3 or 4 was killed one night when their accelorator got stuck and they flew off the freeway. The driver was a member of the Sherrifs dept, I believe.

October 22, 2009 at 8:05 amCompeting interests and eco- nomic need also tend to lead young people to engage in activities other than public service, which makes it difficult to recruit the next genera- tion of policy-makers and political leaders. ,
