Hmmm. I also heard today about a guy calling 911 because his accelerator was stuck and he was rocketing down the highway.
I used to exclusively drive only a standard shift. Now I drive a mini van, because my Dad was so tall he didn’t fit into my little dodge colt.
When it was slick, I used the gears quite a bit for example slowing down at the crest of a hill, and down shifting to first gear to go down it.
The connection to Carlyle Group makes it worth a second look I think.
