That actually is what eventually lead to this mass recall---An 120MPH Toyota Lexus brand car-accident with gas pedal stuck (Don't remember by a floor Matt or just hold the position by itself).

I remember when accelerator pedals hinged at the floor. I imagine mats would be less of a problem that way. Cheerful regards, Bob -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm...
