Default Black Box

GM is recalling ALL Corvettes to install a BLACK BOX that would have electrodes attached to the driver's left leg that would prevent gas pedal "floor-boarding". The box would be installed under the driver's seat and would pulsate every time the driver "floor-boards the gas pedal. This is not voluntary. All Corvette owners must have this BLACK BOX installed.

Don't see how that would be of much use since the gas pedal is operated with the RIGHT leg!

Silly post. IBTL

That's funny! I go through all that trouble to get a little humor and I get the leg thing wrong. More humor!
