yes, driving is unnatural.
and my latest car, 2009 - I cannot get the gas pedal as close to me as I would like.
I am 5 feet tall.
My previous car, the pedal came up closer.

Plus on my previous car, I was able to attach a block to the gas pedal, which helped immeasurably. my present car, the gas pedal is made is such a way that this is impossible to do.
thanks toyota.
I have been told that there is a device that I can buy ($75.) by Toyota, which attaches to the pedal and brings it forward.
I have to look into that. Probably worth it to me to do that.

In this car, when I bring the gas pedal as far forward as it will go, my left knee is right up against some sort of box they built into this model, under the steering wheel to the left.

so if I were to have even a small accident - that would be the end of my left knee!

thanks for the helpful information you provided.

having done my mcKenzie exercises, I am off to take a walk.

have a good day.
