Does having a loose distributor pop out count?

The "unintended acceleration" thread has been intersting, entertaining, and
enlightening.
 
Does anyone have stories they would like to share on their experiences with
Unintended Deceleration?
 
I observed an instance of unintended deceleration during the last snowfall
in
which a young lady in a BMW SUV skidded on an inch of snow and suffered 100%
unintended deceleration against a light pole. Actually it coincided with an
instance uninstended acceleration of all of her airbags.

That's what I thought until the same thing happened with a brand new pedal,
I bought to replace it!  I subsequently switched to the later 1500
throttle  pedal which has to be the single best part on the 1500 Midget and
a
straight  swap to any earlier Spridget.
