Try your local salvage yard. No paint required.

True enough. And if it really did have it, it would be off permanently in my car. I don't mind the reminder, but don't let it try to take control.

It has it, but it's so wimpy compared to some others that his statement is only half wrong.

It's so stupid that's it's probably incorrect.

Why would you suppose that they would fix it there and not here?

Put on a wet suit and head on down to the self service car wash! Or find a touch free.

No idea, but curious: What's your sleeve length?

What happens if you're accelerating downhill with your foot off the gas in a lower gear and you reach redline?

Good idea, but since he doesn't have front radar I think his cruise control is dumb and won't brake. Worth a try. I'd go down in manual. As long as you don't ovverrev, you're not hurting anything.

A simple, excellent solution. Well done.
