Silly gas pedal question, almost trivia...

["Sean Ford" <sean@nwh.org>]

Helloooooooooo Q-listers,
   Hope all the fathers had a good Father's Day yesterday. My Father's Day
gift was to be left alone so I could clean my car from top to bottom/inside
and out, but whilst doing so I noticed something funny about the gas pedal
and for the life of me I can't fathom the purpose. Has anyone the slightest
clue as to why the gas pedal is a two piece hinged affair? I've never seen
such a gas pedal before. This, of course, cements the notion that Audi's
are just plain *different*, ergo, so am I as an Audi owner.
