Description of the problem	I was parking the car at an angle and hit the outside wall of a store at 2:30 in the afternoon. Both air bags deployed on the driver's side. Initially, i thought i had done something wrong, and maybe i did but i came to find out much later that this car has a floor mounted gas pedal. I had owned the car about five weeks by that time and had been out of town one of those weeks when i didn't even use it. I had put plastic mats in the car to protect the mats and carpeting in there. That morning i saw that the mat had gone up against the gas pedal. Again, at that point, i did not realize that the pedal was floor mounted. My only complaint is that hyundai should tell people this and tell them not to put extra mats on the driver's side unless they are custom made. I really don't know if the accident was because i did something wrong or because the mat was pressing against the gas pedal and propelled the car forward while i thought i was pushing on the brake. The front corner of the car was severely damaged as was the wall i hit.
