Chally + Pole = Fail

Found this on LS1Tech.com apparently a tech at a dealership was moving a car. Then the throttle stuck and between hitting a pole or cruising into four lanes of traffic. He picked the pole.

Good thing the Camaro throttle won't stick (I hope)!

Maybe I don't really know the true prominence of a stuck throttle but... couldn't he have just put his foot on the brake pedal?

Probably tried that..and it obviously didn't work. What I wonder is why he just didn't turn the car off and slam the brakes. Sure it'd be stuck in D if it were an Auto, but at least the car would have been saved for the most part.

He panicked.

After reading the thread, I assumed as much. Oh well, cheap R/T on the auction block now.

Free Buick Rendezvous headlight anyone...?

"Throttle stuck."

Translation:

I can't handle the power!

A likely response from a driver who wants to get on it, but can't handle it.
