November 27, 2009 by Gainesville Detailing · Leave a Comment
Toyota, the Japanese automaker is recalling four million vehicles. The recall, on gas pedals, is the largest recall in history for them. News broke yesterday, November 26, on the $460 million dollar recall. Vehicles manufactured in the last 6 years are affected. Toyota had initially asked owners to remove the floor mats. The gas pedal is known to get stuck in the accelerated position. Not only is it getting stuck but hitting the brake does not slow the vehicle down. This sudden acceleration can be fatal. Reports are conflicting as to how many deaths are related to the sudden acceleration. To ensure that this is not a problem on future models the company is redesigning the floorboards.

So black Friday is creeping up on us right? Of course it is, and lets face it. A lot of people will just be still be plump from the turkey and gravy as they wait in line Thanksgiving night for a spot in line. Every year I take a look at all of the Black Friday ads although I rarely go out that day. Shopping is just not that exciting to me and probably never will be. I have gone to multiple sites this year. Some of the sites used were Slickdeals and Blackfriday. I recommend using either of these two resources for anything involving black Friday. Slickdeals has a huge community of people that are always looking for deals and they come up with creative ways of ensuring that they pay the least possible. I prefer Slickdeals to Blackfriday.info for the simple fact of the huge community of people on their message boards. People are updating from their mobile phones when deals go bad, or when they go up. The boards on there should be on fire come Friday morning. So here are five of the best automotive related deals.

Google Social Search Goes Down

What happened to Google Social Search? I was joined up for this experiemnt but now when I sign it I get the “The experiment you’re trying to access is no longer available. Go to experiments overview. When I go to the experiments overview I see that Social Search is still showing. I am really confused. Any information would be great. I did a google search and didn’t find anything on it. Was google only letting people sign up for a short amount of time? That does not make sense to me. I liked the feature but now cannot use it. Has anyone else experienced the same thing with their social search feature within google?
