Well To make a long story short I gotta go to ford tonight at 7:30 to have my Focus checked out. Left this morning on my way to work and it started to spin on the ice so I gave it quite a bit of gas because the traction control was dieing the motor out.
Well when it got to pave the throttle stayed to the floor and almost made me pass right trough a stop sign with cars coming jammed the brakes and they just drug I had to through it in neutral.
Guess I should have just bought a standard like I wanted to then id just have to clutch it.

Duratecs are drive-by-wire if memory serves... so you'll likely just want to take it in to the dealer. You're under warranty, use and abuse it. :D
