I picked up my Hyundai Tucson the other day after having the gas pedal replaced. Read the original if you don't know the story. But as I am driving back to my house, I start to turn the corner and I step on my gas pedal to speed up. I heard a snap, and the resistance I was so accustomed to once again was not there. I was however, somewhat accustomed to this experience as well. So I calmly reached down and felt around to see if my suspicions were correct; that I had once again snapped my gas pedal. I picked it up again, but with somewhat of a less puzzled look than last time. Similar to Indy's look at the right.

My first reaction to the situation was that they had just glued the old one back on. But after coasting home and getting underneath the dash with a flashlight, I can tell this new fracture is a unique occurance of a now-frequent problem.

The guys at the dealership had the nerve to trash my former accelerator cord! Of course they may have kept it. They were pretty impressed with it. Maybe there's a shrine with my name and liscence plate number, titled "Car Mcguyver,"... but probably not.

I looked around and finally found a new rope, much thinner, and more painful. But I can really finesse with this thinner rope. I have a more solid connection with the accelrator stump. It really is amazing the knowledge you gain about how an accelrator pedal works when you have to speed up using the muscles in your forearm and hand.

I've had to drive my entire birthday weekend with a rope (thinner than the original!) to accelrate. They say that you have to travel with someone before you really get to know them. Well if you really want to get to know the accelration function of your car, bust off your gas pedal, tie a rope around it and pull, then get it fixed, then break it off again before your birthday and experience it all over again.
