My buddy and I were in his car (before we got hit and it got totaled) racing on the highway, and leaning over the center looking in the rear view mirror; welp, 87ish mph and from 3rd down to 2nd and that car became known as the blue dragon because of the flames it shot. LOL.

yeah it was about 30 minutes after we boosted it, and i just did the max recall feature on the VAFC and snapped a pic. Figure it's just a matter of time until it eats itself... :-\

I was at the road cours e going about 65-70 on a straight not waiting for a car to pass me, as soon as he did, I went to shift to 4th and somehow ended up in 2nd. I don't think it went past 9k, just enough to stop my heart.

i cant believe anyone who acually shifts into a wrong gear with a working linkage/shifter

all you have to do is pull the shifter down and it'll guide itself into the right gear. must've been a newb ricer

i put my dsm from third to second racing a ls1 t/a that was right on my tail, spun the motor past 10,000 rpm, only damage it did was stretch the alternator belt, everything else was fine...

i smoked a ricer on my way to work for breakfest, when he owned himself going from 2nd to 1st :P

then he wanted to go for a round 2, and we were even.. until he shifted his stock d-series into 2nd, slow shifting + slow motor = car length gain before i hit 2nd gear ;)

NA still gives me mudbutt :-[

lol, looks like my freinds rsx. .. or His Mom's. he shifted from 4th to 1st :-X

4th to 1st?
Thats tough ::)

Best mishift is in my buddy's Lamborghini Diablo.
Those italians like to put their reverse where 1st gear goes.
Can only make that mistake so many times :P

Re: Miss shifting is fun
 
the worst mishift excuse i have heard was this LS1 we took out in the sohc hatch. He said he shifted 3 to 5th...
