And here I thought the people on this shithole of a forum couldn't get any more stupid

It's always only a quick one second brain fart tho. Usually o my happen S to me after busy day at work and too tired to think. It sorts itself out almost immediately upon looking at speedo and tach

>>15199345
I do this on my bike maybe once in a blue moon, but in a car you have to be retarded to not be able to reach out and find which gear you're in.
>>15199408
Let me reach out and feel what gear you're in bb
>not being able to look at your shifter and know by where it is
>or just by speed and revs
>>15199421
>looking at the shifter
>not knowing the gear by touch
>>15199357
>>15199345
>glancing
>not knowing with the speed and rpm
>not feeling the gear knob in which position
it's like you're new to this.
>>15199389

damn noobs.
>>15199477

Sometimes I have to double check the nigga is still running
Shit happens

>>15199634
you suck at life oh my god.
>miata
>nothing of value was lost
Sometimes when I'm driving on the freeway I feel like my car is reviving high. Then I realize I never shifted onto my top gear.
Does this happen to anyone else or am I a retard?
>Tfw super short shifter
>want to downshift from 5th to 4th
>Shift to 2nd instead.
>Get home and buy a 500$ rebuild kit off ebay out of OCD like autism
>on Interstate in fourth gear almost 6k RPM
>shift to fifth
>accidentally third
>needle jumps to 8k+ screaming
>can't even rev past 7.1 normally
That was scary and the only time I did that.
>>15199887
No, but sometimes I do this.
>Be late at night driving my Subaru
>Get on highway and just cruise without looking at speedo
>No other cars
>Finally another car passes me going much faster
>Realize I'm in 4th doing 55-60 mph
>Shift to 5th and speed up
>Wonder if other car thinks I'm a fag
>Continue my life

Money shifting won't really hurt your gearbox. It will destroy your motor though.
>>15199896
I drove a guys Honda with a short shifter and it sucked. I never hit the gear I wanted to
>>15199902
>drive automatic ef hatch with the engine swapped for an HF motor
>original redline was 6500 or 7200
>engine now can only handle ~5000 rpm max. makes peak HP at 4400 rpm.
>still using same intake mani, injectors, dizzy, and ECU from the stock engine (i HAVE to, because its automatic)
>auto trans has to be tied to DPFI intake mani and stock ECU.
>HF engine wants MPFI intake with HF spec injectors and ecu
So i'm left with a car that rev higher than the engine is built for.

>>15199961
Obd1 or obd2? I have a p28 auto ecu laying around here somewhere and I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to chip it and lower the redline somehow. That's a lot of work to fix something that isn't a huge issue though.

>tfw always in 1st
If my car was stick I'd only use 1st and 2nd gear so it'd always roar and wake everyone up. Screw blowing the engine, I must let everyone know I'm here.
>-every honda ricer that drives a 4cylinder civic with a fartcan
>>15199595
did retard put it in first or what?
>>15199896
I did this the first week I got my car. Luckily I was coming to an off ramp so I had managed to slow down enough that I didn't redline. The wheels locked the fuck up for a second tho. Kept control and went along my merry way. Fords 4.6 is a hell of an engine, can take quite the fucking beating.
