One Comment

The “sudden acceleration” hoopla drives me nuts, and I thought that the matter was settled as pedal misapplication. I believe Saylor committed suicide.

Then, son-of-a gun, I had a sudden acceleration incident last month. I turned off the engine, thought a bit, and found that the edge of my shoe pressed the accelerator when my foot was on the brake. So I was a bit more careful and the problem went away. I swear on Ted frank’s beard that my story is true.
