A left foot accelerator apparatus, comprising:
- a generally flat anchor plate, a shaft housing, a shaft and a left foot pedal, said anchor plate being configured to over lay a driver side vehicle floor between existing pedals in a vehicle and a driver seat, said anchor plate frictionally engaging said driver side vehicle floor such that said left foot accelerator apparatus is immovable relative to said driver side vehicle floor without the use of any bolts or fasteners to further secure said left foot accelerator apparatus to said driver sided vehicle floor, said left foot accelerator apparatus being transferable from vehicle to vehicle when said anchor plate is lifted and disengaged from said driver side vehicle floor, said anchor plate having a front end adjacent said existing pedals and top and bottom surfaces, said shaft housing fixedly secured to said top surface of said anchor plate at said front end, said shaft housing rotatably supporting said shaft, said shaft housing having left and right sides, a top, a front and a back, said shaft having a left end and a right end, said left foot pedal being movably secured on said shaft between said left end and said shaft housing, said shaft operatively connecting said left foot pedal to an existing accelerator pedal in said vehicle, whereby said left foot accelerator apparatus may be moved from vehicle to vehicle by merely picking up said left foot accelerator apparatus from the driver side vehicle floor and placing the same in another vehicle leaving the vehicle from which the left foot accelerator apparatus was removed totally unencumbered by any base plates, bolts, bolt holes, fasteners, fastener holes, or other structure.
