Okay let's tally up the damage:

Born with Cereberal Palsy on my right side, which weakens my right arm and leg to the point where they're good for only the basic movements and not much else

Then in '99 was involved in an automobile accident where a ladder fell of a truck in front of me on the highway, I swerved to avoid the ladder but ended up launching the car into a nose over tail double barrel roll (I was driving a car that didn't have agile handling as one of its assets)

At the point of impact a part from the dashboard broke away and smashed my right tibia into power, necessitating the insertion of a titanium plate and seven screws along with a graft from my hip and in addition a part of my right knee cartiledge was damaged and removed (remember this is the right side afflicted with Cereberal Palsy).

So the sum total of all that leaves me using a knee brace on my right knee and a cane along with a gas pedal on the left hand side of the car.

Holy crap.

I'd love to see the guy that steals your car and can actually get it out of the parking lot.

Actually I haven't had the Focus modded all that much yet just the basic requirement of the left side gas pedal installed. I'm just waiting for the first maintenance visit back at the selling dealership. They installed the pedal for me, wanna take bets as to whether or not they remember it's there? :P

/me imagines Ford dealership car jockey looking into his car, autobox with what looks like three pedals... and their brain implodes! :wtf:
