Randy - removing the key: that's funny!

Somewhat related: on 3 occasions I've disconnected the main battery pack cable in the electric car by pressing the clutch pedal, which is rigged as the emergency shut off. Each time I did it was an "automatic" combo move: get in, seatbelt on, insert key and depress the clutch. Also each time I was also either tired or distracted.
