No, it's correct for normal people. Normal people are pretty bad at spelling.
haha true
Your correct.

Peaks of
False. It's an Alpha Romeo, those are all just oil dispensers
On higher trim levels, one of those pedals is actually dedicated to shorting electrical harnesses
Is... This car... Flying?
Yeah that post looks like a car flying, to me. Or... I am mistaken.
Lateral accelerator, parallel forward accelerator, and parallel reverse accelerator
Finally, someone called manual transmission "normal"!
Any other car and it would have been an “meh” meme, the Alfa badge and the misspelling make it so much better, well played!
Pretty sure the left pedal is the clutch, not the brake. And the steering wheel doesn't accellerate.
Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
A change in direction is a change in velocity
It changes the direction of the velocity vector, but not the magnitude.
Which is an example of acceleration.
Meanwhile me noob in physics:-
Left pedal looks more like a dead pedal to me.
And as others have said, change in direction is still acceleration. That's part of Newton's (apocryphal?) apple story
he witnessed an apple falling, and wondered why the moon doesn't also fall. His amazing insight is that it does fall (accelerate), it's just that it falls in such a way that it orbits, rather than hits, the Earth (for timescales relevant to a human).
Agree 100% on the dead petal. Every manual transmission ive owned has the clutch and a footrest, so it actually appears to be 4 pedals if you dont know what youre looking at
