Default stupid carpet.
so I have the normal car carpet from pepboys and its as if it doesnt fit in well with the floor. It would interfere with the clutch after releasing it. so I wld jst slide it back abit. well today went worse. I was on the beltway and somehow my gas peddle was stuck and I was like "good thing theres no stop sign so it will buy me sometime". shift onto neutral. I was trying to feel if there was a gap between the floor and the peddle so I could pull it back but there wasn't. thats when I looked down and there it was. The stupid carpet pushing down on the gas. Pulled it back and watched the rpm level going down. Got off to the side. took a look at the engine. It kinda was shaking, it readlined for about 15-20 seconds . so I took it back and let it cool down and threw the carpet to the back. and that is my story. Hopefully the car didn't suffer much.
