When I was little, I was very naive to things such as cars and stuff like that so, one day as me and my mom were driving, I noticed that there was a peddle that my mom never used and asked her what it was, she, the funny woman she is thought that it would be funny to tell me that it was a 3rd gas peddle and that when she got the car up to top speed, she would push that peddle in and the car would go faster, I'm sorry to say that I found out the truth when I was 23 and my husband had to inform me that it was not a 3rd gas peddle, but the cluch, I still feel stupid!
