    I voted "none of the above." There is not enough information to form an opinion. The driver seems a little cheezy but even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then.

    I say the truth will come out by Monday evening.

    The Prius is fine - no faults found.
    Sikes is not fine - a few psycho faults found.

    And will determine this episode was an attempt to use the Toyota difficulties for his financial and publicity gain. Evidence was overwhelming and Sikes finally admitted the hoax.

    Media will report on page 16 of papers, and a 10 second mention on a few newscasts. Copycats will abound with more inventive capers.
