Thats crazy.

One time I left the auto in second and was doing 60mph wondering why it wouldn't shift to third.

I beat a v6 mustang in 1st on my automatic once. Hell if I know why I did that, but when I realized it my friend was like "Man his car sux if you beat him in 1st the whole way." Fun stuff.

Once at the strip the little metal spring thing on the gas pedal snagged some carpet, and as I went down the track it was like I was flooring it past the traps in neutral when I took it out of gear.

Thank god for rev limiters
