There are numbers greater than 100.

Like 101, 102, 103, etc

Hey, maybe theres a 200% WOT?
.. and a 100% chance of a blown engine. But lets just look at the positives

I gorilla-glued it back on. After seeing how it was designed, no wonder it fell off. There's a threaded steel rod that goes through the center of the piece. The piece has a very small thread section.
By the way, it wasn't the pedal movement that broke it loose, it was the floor mats that I have (not evolution floor mats, some other brand), they keep shifting around when i get in and out of the car, which was putting pressure on this piece.

Everyone pretty much answer it but if someone left it there and it's an extra one, I'd just save it until it's needed.
