Nope, running, in gear, driving down the interstate.

Bah. A good strap to hold you to the front and you'll find it quick. Or a sturdy creepy and a good strap. Just saying.

I did the Zip tie mod today. however. I did it with a Newspaper rubber band. I like the "Spring" feel after driving so many years of iRacing.

I hated spring loaded pedals. I hate electronic throttle pedals even more bad experience with one in a 2001 cummins. Got dirt in the circuit and it thought I was a wot in park. Turned key off and towed it. I also prefer stiff pedals.

I don't like electric ones either. So stupid. They gunk up and turn to crap.

I've only put a mile on it so far. Going to see how much I like it. I might switch it out for a zip tie.

I want to plan a cheap do-it-at-home mod. Ideas?

after everyone on here talking about the zip tie mod, which i have to say is not a Mod by any standards I did it on my 1993 took 6 zip ties to get it snug. a much needed addition considering. then was going to do it to my 94 but it was still pretty well tight only had room to fit one small zip tie.
I also noticed my 93s cats are toast i think because i hear a can of marbles so i guess ill have to gut both cats.
