Switching between MTX's and ATX's for me is not a good
thing. Drving my folk's '03 Sable got real interesting
over Christmas. I was passing someone on a two-lane
highway, and when I hit 70-75, I was thinkin it was
about time to drop into 4th or 5th (don't remember
what gear I was in) and the left foot slammed right
down...on the brake pedal. Whoops....
