"The man pulled the jeep into a parking space when his foot slipped off the brake pedal and hit the accelerator, police said."
Wasn't this posited to be the reason behind most of the toyota crashes cause by "glitches" aka people being complete morons? I read somewhere that most of the accidents happened when the car wasn't moving and the person was generally retirement age or over.

The guy's 85 years old. I can almost guarantee that he learned to drive with a stick. The article also mentions his foot "slipped."

How much you wanna bet he was stomping the brake with his left foot, and had forgotten to stop pushing the gas pedal? I bet 33 cents that he had both feet on the pedals, pushing down as hard as he could.

You're taught to drive with one foot if it's an automatic transmission. Obviously a manual requires two feet (or a lot of dexterity and effort). Banning automatics when the vast majority of cars now are automatic is at best retarded, especially since most people don't know how to drive cars with a standard transmission. You're associating two unlike things.

Unless he's weak. Pushing the gas and the brake will still slow or stop the car. Espically since a jeep is 4wd and would have the front brakes trying to slow driving wheels. Modern cars have good brakes and are often FWD, you can floor it and hit the brake and if the computer will keep the throttle open it'll still slow down and stop. But, most newer drive by wire cars won't even go wide open if you're holding the brake.

85? imagining an old dependable Wagoneer with fake wood grain sides, big chrome and nice real chrome bumpers. hope the Jeep is okay.

I own a Jeep. '99 Wrangler. Six inch lift kit and 33's. Posi all the way around. Full rails. Aside from two broken axles (both left rear, Dana 35 sucks ass) and a stripped out lunchbox, the thing has been the best vehicle I've ever had. It always starts right up. It always runs. It always goes even with 2 feet of snow on the ground, or two inches of solid ice. I've had it over the top of the hood in mud. It's never gotten stuck.
Not for lack of trying though.

As a kid, our neighborhood grocery store had this happen a couple times a year.
Now you'd think they'd put in a steeper curb, a studier window, or at the very
least
stop putting their hard liquor just behind the front window. But no.
Eventually I got old enough to realize they had to be making more off the insurance claims than the groceries and it all made sense.

Yah, them things is bulletproof. They came with Dana 60's front and back. Jeep was a good brand until they went AMC. Then Chrysler took over and they turned the brand into a mama car. Glad they kept the original traditional design Wrangler going though. Those old Buick 300 V6's were hella good motors.

A straight-acting workmate drives a Jeep Wrangler.
And one day I'm kinda asking "Is he?" Kind of a gay sort of setup he's got with his car happenin' there."
And my boss says that Jeep Wranglers won some kind of poll as being the gayest car in the world. As in: most likely to have a gay male owner.

As a kid I used to go the corner grocery for my sweet-iceys and such.
Some years later I lived there in that space as a tenant, grocery gone, me there all grown up and alone, time removed and space revisited. Things change.
Spaces move to new places.
We move with them or no.
Wait, they move with US, and we move with THEM.
We are interchangeable...
Let's move.

I've always driven an automatic. I drive with my right foot operating the pedal, left up on the dash. Easy access and gives other motorists a thrill.

I do. I don't remember when or why I started, but I can switch between right foot braking in a manual and left foot braking in an auto w/o even thinking about it.

An accident would be quite painful under those conditions.

That is some grade A bullshiat. Driving in 2 feet of snow will cause said snow to pack under your truck in short order. 33" tires dont cut trails in 2 feet of snow. Saying you never get stuck just means that you dont really offroad that rig in anything but wet grass and green lanes. If your tires were as big as you think your penis is you might have a chance otherwise stfu already.

I will give Jeep's credit for bringing out the slut in some girls though. Was the source of many a blowjob when we were all younger and slutier. God bless the results of that shaking / vibrating.
