I had an 86 Toyota Cressida. Due to the pedals arrangement, sometimes my foot
hit the gas pedal while stepping on the brake. In this case, the car would not
slow down. I don't ever have this problem with any other cars.

Are the pedals close to each other on your Accord?

The 86 was a pretty small car, not much room for the petals.

Yes the pedals are too close on the 03, but it was a hard pedal. I was
pressing with great force, but the car was not stopping.

You're thinking of the Corolla, Mikey. "Corolla" *means* "petals".

Our '86 MR2 is even tighter than the Cressida. Never hit the wrong pedal on
that one yet.
