but my car vibrates so much on that surface that its kinda hard to see, much
less FIND the brake or gas pedal. not at all like 3COM, er, i mean GGF, er
i mean MATHER, oh id better just get used to it. :P
and tiny little bumps cause my brakes to lock up, inducing my leg into
tremors of faux-ABS vibration. if only i could teach my left leg to do ABS
too. :)
