If the ride was long enough (just a few seconds would do it) your free fall may have reached some sort of terminal velocity during the middle of it. At which point there would be no acceleration. I agree that it would be hard to mantain a constant acceleration with a gas pedal. But in a...

Poll: Most you'd pay for a pair of jeans?

$20.00 max. I buy all my jeans for the year a week or two into January when they have been marked down 50% to 70% off. In fact I get all my clothes for the year during after Christmas sales.
