Accelerator Pedal Attached to Floor---Why?
I know this is a dumb question, but every time I clean the carpets and mat on the driver's side it sparks curiousity... What is the reasoning behind attaching the accelerator to the floor? It's a real pain to get the vacuum/shampooer around to the right side of the pedal where "stuff" tends to build up.
Looking back, I remember the Milennia, LS400 and some BMW cars are the same way. Also, we had an old Buick or Oldsmobile back in the day that had the pedal bottom resting on the floor, but it was not actually attached. You could lift it up and clean around. Trivial, yes, but I'd love to know...Thanks!
