    Speaking of brakes... where are they?  No modern car has more engine 
horsepower than brake, unless really poorly maintained.  60-0 in, say, 
125' takes what, less than 2 seconds?  How many cars go 0-60 in under 2?

    Stomp the brakes, pull over, and don't release 'em until you get the 
motor shut off or out of gear.  Why doesn't this work?
