2. Instruct owners to "never start the engine".
Cheap AND effective.

4. Warning: Never touch the accelerator. Thank you. Toyota.
Company spokesman, Mr. Blutarsky, said "hey, you fucked up - you trusted us."

5. Well, if they did it right the first time...

it would have been less expensive.

I guess the operative word is "fix".

6. A silly little shim isn't going to fix anything - it is almost certainly software.
This is just a way to do practically nothing (at minimal cost) for the PR that says they're "fixing" the problem.
