The gas pedal is not an on/off switch

We have been driving cars for so long that do so many things for you in terms of keeping you from harm that most drivers haven't a clue of what it feels like when something starts to go wrong. We don't have "Oh shit!" moments any more that remind you that yes, the car will bite your ass hard.

If you put half the people on this forum who own an SS into a stock 1969 Camaro with a 350, with stock bias ply tires, and told them to drive the way they normally do, they'd wrap the car up in 10 miles. We suck at driving as a group. Not the car's fault we're stupid.
