[Red_October_7000]

I too have noticed how in a modern automatic there is nothing for the left foot to do. At CAP we have a 1978 Ford F600 rack body truck that will keep your left food busy forever -not only do you need it to work the (very heavy) clutch, (truck has a 3+low "rock crusher" so you're forever upshifting until you hit 40 and then you just mash it to go faster... tops out at about 70 with the motor screaming, probably limited but there is no tacho so who knows, but you'd never want to hold that speed.) you use your left foot to change the beams AND to dispense windshield cleaner! I understand that on luxury cars from the 30s and 40s, and possibly later, the radio seek was on the floor as well! 4 things for the left foot to do! And now there is nothign for it to do so manufacturers put in a little rest for it because it is of no use...
