Im just sayin'......

"You see, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently commissioned a study from the TransAnalytics research firm and the Highway Safety Research Center at the University of North Carolina. And that study found that women seem predisposed to hit the gas when they really mean to hit the brake.

In fact, the data reveals that women are twice as likely to accidentally hit the accelerator than men are."

But is it REALLY worth it to point it out to the wifey???

He said after she was out that the engine was still reved way up and he turned the key off. I checked the floor mats and they were not the cause. The airbag deployed also.

The car is a 2005 RL that we purchased new 7 years ago this month and had about 102,000 miles. The repair estimate was about $13,000 and the car was totaled.
