Manua throttle control

[Trojaneagle]

Has anybody thought of eliminating the gas pedal and route the throttle cable to the center console connected to a lever which could be controlled with your hands?

Would mean you'd be driving one handed ALL of the time....

 

[speed]

unless you're disabled and can't use your legs, that sounds like a retarded idea

 

[MKIIINA]

so throttle control on a stick shift in the same area,,,, yea i can see how that would be safe.

 

[mkIIIman089]

So... are you disabled?

 

[OneJoeZee]

I didn't know controlling it with my foot wasn't manual. :dunno:

 

[AF1JZ]

Sounds about retarded to me if you have a perfectly good working right foot and leg.

So that's what "Manua" means. Thought I'd missed a new product announcement

I did something similar once, the throttle cable broke on a VW Karman Ghia I had so I fished it out through the truck, wrapped it in a rag and drove home with it in my left hand controlling the gas.... talk about hand eye coordination, time the shift for traffic, let up on throttle with left hand, let go of wheel, shift, repeat

No.

Why? Cause its the worst idea in history.

 

[jetjock]

Meh, it's not like the idea is new. Works great, even when having more than one

 

[Trojaneagle]
