What are all the pedal for? How come they have 4 pedals?
I had to do something that I have never done in my life before. I had to explain to him that one is the accelerator, one is the brake, one is the clutch and the fourth pedal is just a dead pedal (foot rest). Now I feel a lot older than I am

Great story.

In contrast, that kid knows some things we oldies don't know. I "learn" from my kids and grandkids all the time!
