Later, after calming down, she was heard to say “Oh, THAT’s what that pedal is for!”

Just shift to neutral and let the engine run up against the rev limiter.

reminds me of the women that went for a long drive.. apparently the connection to the battery broke so when she shut off the car it went completely dead.. she had to call 911 to get out because the power locks did not automatically unlock the door for her and the button did not work..

I have yet to see a car that did not have a manual way to unlock the door..

have you?

it’s great if you’re from mars,

but not if you’re from venus

if you wanna drive a car,

you better have a penis

but if you have a vagina,

a vuvla, or a labia

then stay the hell away from

saudi arabia

Pilots are trained to deal with this situation since the engines are designed to go full throttle if linkages break.

I haven’t seen one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they made them now.
