    Y’all are funny! The headlight “high-beams” were “left-foot-floor-switch” activated for years. I still miss them there. Especially nowadays when you could dedicate your left hand to the steering wheel so you can dedicate your right hand to texting whilst driving (yes, I am kidding!). The only time the floor switch was a problem was when I’d get caught between clutching-to-shift. But……how often is that a problem nowadays?

    Enjoyed the show. Keep up the great work!
