I agree, I have done that...reach for the clutch and almost drive the left foot through the firewall

I remember the first time I drove an automatic. I was fine until i drove into the driveway at home. When I was close to being stopped went for the clutch and hit the extra wide brake pedal and almost put my passengers though the front windshield.
I was sorta thinkin along the lines of lifting the motor as high as possible to get a high center of gravity, that way the money spent on the roll bar would not be a waste.Stole this picture from XFIRE but it explains where the term "Roll Bar" came from. Plus the engine and drive train angle explains the term "Dragster" for the drive shaft.
During my career, I was the consulting engineer on numerous hydrocarbon reclamation projects. A 10 foot excavation was an easy one. Old abandoned gas station lots were the worst. Underground fuel storage tanks that had been leaking for 50 years or more and migrating underground into adjacent properties and water aquifers. The resale or redevelopment value of the land was only a fraction of the cleanup cost. Which is why we still have abandoned properties that have just been fenced off and stayed untouched. Once you start a reclamation and open these up, it has to be completed no matter how many millions over budget it runs. And they always are over budget.Obviously you westerners have not had to deal with the Ontario Ministry of Environment. I have bumped heads with those guys over PCB spills, used oil barrels that corroded and leaked machining oil into the soil when stored outside for years plus other industrial oil pollution where we had to recycle ten feet of dirt from a storage yard at a cold heading plant. Oh the joys of Alberta! I wish!
Dave I think you misdiagnosed this problem. What is the helper looking at? I think the new raised rear motor mount broke on the last pass......lolI was sorta thinkin along the lines of lifting the motor as high as possible to get a high center of gravity, that way the money spent on the roll bar would not be a waste.
I did that mistake once, the passenger on the right seat was a little surprise, lucky she had the safety belt on, she would probably kiss the glove box
Interesting Rruuff. I spent my career in consulting as well. I've seen Lake Simcoe waterfront stay undeveloped for 20 years because contaminated soils were found. Only became cost effective this last year. but mostly because condos are about a million bucks each. Also seen old service station properties along Highway 11 North of Barrie. The contaminated plumes extended below the highway, property value less than zero, nobody digs up a provincial highway.During my career, I was the consulting engineer on numerous hydrocarbon reclamation projects.
