What owners wrote
The vehicle is driven approximately 500 miles a month, 90% of the time by my wife. On may 24, 2007 my wife drove it to work as usual. When she arrived at work the parking space she usually parks in was occupied. She then proceeded to circle a small island to return to the entrance drive where the parking spaces are. Once one was located she had to make a right turn to access it.
I purchased the vehicle on saturday two days earlier, I drove to work then home approximately 130 miles went to dinner with a wife and friends. One of my friends from norway wanted ride in car and experience the power. Fortunately on a clear 6 lane highway I kicked it hard only the car continued to accelerate. The pedal functioned as normal returning to upright position. I kicked the pedal 8 or 9 times before the engine finally responded. It ruined a set brake pads.
