pulsing the pedal can not cause the brakes to over heat and is standard
practice if no antilock is present. and quit making excuses for Toyota,
they are just another car company, don`t do anything better or worse than
any other car company. which means they have plenty of problems in their
vehicles too. I don`t know why he didn`t shift into neutral, but none of
the other stuff worked, thanks to the fu*king push button starting. KB
