Not sure I could live with the guaranteed hassle I would cop for days if I chose the deliberate stall method :-)2010 GX Turbo Diesel

The door chime is also a pain when you have to get out of the vehicle to unlock and open gates, as if it is not bad enough that you have to get out of the vehicle and leave it unmanned, the bloody thing advertises the fact. This is nothing compared with the surprise Toyota has in store for you when you shift your foot quickly from the accelerator to the brake. Some brain on drugs has decided that having to suddenly slow the vehicle equals needing a crash stop and that is what it does. Something called 'Brake Force Assist'. Remember this when overtaking on the freeway, a car pops out from the left lane and you quickly need to lose 10kmh, you may invoke emergency braking and all but get thown through the windscreen. If you are lucky you will get a fright without being rear ended.Prado Polar White 150 GX 3.0 TD Auto.

If its an emergency, I guarantee I'll be all over the brakes as hard as I can, that's what ABS is for...2011 150series GXL

While I have a 120, the easiest way is to have those items I want to use connected to the second battery.[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]
