   A 68 year old woman ran her car through a brick and steel wall, into a   
   laundromat, and damaged the wall and 5 or 6 washing machines, you know,   
   the big industrial ones...   
      
   She was sneaking up on a parking space when all of a sudden the car   
   accelerated and crashed through the wall and the washing machines.   
      
   She was driving a Camry. The accident has been attributed by the media to   
   a 'sticking accelerator'.   
      
   Um, how FAST are you driving when pulling into a parking space? Fast   
   enough to crash through a brick wall?   
      
   If you are, you probably shouldn't be driving.   
      
   I'm willing to bet this is just a good old fashioned case of "Wrong   
   Pedal", but since it's a Camry it must be the sticking accelerator.   
   I wonder how many other people have gotten themselves into trouble and   
   blamed it on a sticking accelerator?   
      
   Gee...I have to go to Vermont next week. When I get pulled over at 90 in   
   my Scion, can I tell the cop it was my "sticking accelerator"?
