Your car won't let you give it throttle when the clutch is in even!?! That's nuts! I heel toe all the time as it's habit from driving non-synchronized transmissions at old summer jobs and I'm anal about not wearing my clutch/gears and I've never been in a car where I can't.

Is your car FWD hences the left foot braking in corners? I thought you were driving a Legacy?

No no... new cars. My 01 Legacy is still a good ol mechanical cable

But now there's talk (and I believe at least one manufacturer) has made their computer disable the throttle when the brake is applied. In this case, you could apply the brake, but the gas won't do anything if you press it at the same time. No doubt this is a "safety" feature, most likely after the Toyota fiasco. Most people won't be affected by it, but some will. Hopefully it isn't adopted.

Yeah, I already posted one of my ride but I like this one I snapped while walking back to it. I had stopped to let the hounds out for a run while going through Jasper last week.
