When I got my first Chevy, and first automatic, I spent about two years trying to not pound my left foot through the floorboards when I thought it was time to shift.

LOL. Same here. I hated that big, wide brake pedal on my first automatic. I 'bout threw myself through the windshield 2-3 times.

For some reason I hit the brake pedal with the edge of my boot on the Toyota. There is just enough room to get to the accelerator and that brake pedal just comes a little sooner. If I drove properly instead of cruising on cruise control at every opportunity my right foot probably would be in the right place to begin with. This is the kind of stuff that we have to deal with that proves our superiority over our ancient ancestors. Right.
