Prior Art

The fact the patent was approved in 2004 isn't relevant to Prior Art. The patent was filed in Oct. 2002 so the Prior Art would have had to be published prior to Oct. 2001. Was it? I don't know.

Automobile Patent

Man, if only I had patented the automobile! Imagine, I can sue companies for putting the brake pedal on the left, and the accelerator (sp?) pedal on the right! I could have made money based on other people/companies efforts! Whoa!
