Well I thought about it for a few minutes and decided "Shxt...I guess this is gonna hurt when I hit that tree."

In all seriousness...crap like this is instinctive for me. Gas pedal felt funny, engine revving, throttle sticking, key off, clutch in, stomp gas pedal hard hoping for a release, all within a second. Sorta like landing in the Hudson River I guess, ya just do it......
