That's how I got into the 15. I put my nose out there to go under him and when he closed the door, like he had the right to, man, that pedal was rock solid. The thing locked the rears up and wouldn't stop. I feel bad for putting him out of it, but, overall, it was just a bad day for us. At least we didn't get hurt.
