Hopefully that was a one-time acceleration problem for you. Scary, scary situation, and Thank God the girls weren't in the car!! I've actually been trying not to think about this since you called me yesterday.

Something al...Oh my goodness - so glad you are ok!<br /><br />Something along those lines happened when I was in HS. My choir director's car kept accelerating when she was driving us home from our State Honors Chorus weekend. She had to brake like you did - careened into a gas station and lurched to a stop as the station attendant came running out, screaming for us to get out of the car. The brakes were literally on fire.

I became an expert at driving with two feet (an automatic!) when I had a car that stalled at every stop sign. Shift to neutral, brake with the left foot, rev the engine with the right foot, shift back to drive. It's the reason I get so discombobulated when I try to drive a stick!unmitigated mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901264130484454602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723653386032743586.post-51532436337767496682010-03-25T09:23:00.280-04:002010-03-25T09:23:00.280-04:00How scary!!
