He could also sell this as a adjustable peddle mod. Just strap it to the peddle and you go from stock to adjustable peddles. Now you're driving a luxury car.

Actually I originally came up with this idea about twenty years ago. But being the procrastinator that I am I never went through getting the patent, producing prototypes, marketing and production.

Pressure treated will resist the rot that will form when moisture gets on the device from wet shoes.

I tried that once. It really works. Unfortunately, it was by accident with an empty coke bottle that I dropped and fell right behind my gas pedal like it had eyes.

I think I am 82007, according to the counter. Man what a stupid thing to waste money on. I know it might be a joke, but you have to stop somewhere (maybe $3.00?).

My god, it sold for $41! Plus $10 shipping!

It is fortunate for sellers that bidders do not think.
