   Why do you bring this shit up?   
      
   The issue we are discussing is the Matrix and Yaris that after becoming   
   fully warmed up, stall on the freeway while doing freeway speeds. The   
   comment I made was that the driver can't do anything in this condition to   
   cause a stall, and I said this in reaponse to some yahoo that said the   
   driver was at fault.
