The first poster on the 'tube video suggests it's a
fake stunt, due to lack of impact damage.

If you look at impact shots, you see what looks like:-
The cars exhaust/muffler pipework coming adrift
or
A strong lever coming down.

Is it possible for a lever to flip a 2 ton cat thru'
the air?
Didn't see much road-surface damage. Any thoughts?

Here is the solution to the Toyota gas pedal problem.
If you own a Toyota, simply REMOVE the gas pedal. You will not crash
the car afterwards and may save your life as well as the life of other
friends and family members. Use your wrenches, or just saw it off
with a hacksaw. Just be sure to remove it from the car.

And remember this: Toyota claims to make one of the best vehicles on
the market. Well, consider this. Every vehicle made since the
beginning of petroleum powered vehicles began in the early 20th
century has had a gas (or diesel) pedal. Stuck pedals were rare or
nonexistant during all these years. Gas pedals were found on all
autos, trucks, tractors, and all other machines powered by gasoline or
diesel fuel. Back then, gas pedals were pretty simple and a very minor
part of cars. They were basically just a metal shaft fitted to a
simple sleeve bearing, and attached to a steel rod or cable on the
engine side, and a rubber foot pedal inside the vehicle. But Toyota
had to make the "simple" gas pedal as complicated as possible, and of
course make it out of flimsy, breakable plastic instead of durable
metal. They also has to connect it to computers. After all, we live
in a generation where everything has to be made so complicated that no
one understands it, and of course everything has to be plastic and
connected to a computer whether it's needed or not,

Thanks to Toyota, what once was simple became a complex disaster and
many have died as a result. Lets thank Toyota for making their death
machines and giving jobs to those in the Funeral industry, as well as
lawyers and judges. I bet the Japanese are real proud of Toyota
creating machines that kill Americans. This time they didn't even have
to bomb Pearl Harbor. They just kill Americans on the highway every
day.

With any luck, Toyota will join the ranks of bankrupt auto
manufacturers. You can help force bankruptcy on Toyota by removing
the gas pedals from every Toyota vehicle you can get your hands on.
In the process you will save many human lives. Not only will Toyota
go down in history as a manufacturer of "Weapons of Mass Destruction",
but Toyota will go down in history as the manufacturer of the longest
lasting engine in all of history, since their engines will last
forever once the gas pedals are removed.
