Shooting through a toolbooth in the triple digits? Nice piece of driving.

Tight squeeze! I've read about this happening in the U.*. several years ago, lady'* throttle stuck wide open and she couldn't move the shifter. 
I think there ended up being some bolt that fell out of place and caused the problem (I wish I remembered more).

Heard a story something like that once about a KIA when they first came out. (not even half as fast though, KIa'* are slow) Girl claimed that she couldn't brake, e-brake, turn off the car, or shift out of gear.... yea, ok.
