[urq] Toyota should be talking to Audi....NAC

[Grant Lenahan]

We are going round and round.

Yes, we all saw this.  it conflicts direct testimony, and somebody's 
comment that you get once chance.

So, i asked "why once chance?" - i have heard two good arguments:

1. vacuum will run out fast at WOT and most people wont have the 
strength to keep pressure up
2. brakes will over heat if you dont get the job done, like now

.. something else?  ABS interference?

This may be fuzzier than i first thought.  I KNOW brakes are way mroe 
powerful than motors. but....now i'm questioning my assumptions
