What owners wrote

I was driving on the highway and felt an extremely hot drop fall on top of my foot while wearing sandals. The pain was so bad I had to stop on the emergency lane to see what it was. There was a brown oily substance leaking from where the gas pedal is right on my foot. I had a pink mark after I cleaned off and kept driving. Got home about 15 minutes later and never felt it again.
