Selecting reverse while going forward, even in the wet, couldn't exactly be good for your car, and isn't something I'd do without expecting to break something...

Then I asked myself, "Why aren't I drunk?" and I didn't have a good answer.

It's 2nd hand info (Park @ 80kph)... It probably really was reverse, but the outcome was he bought a Charger after that incident :P He's an I6 man, & drives a 4.5L (?) Landcruiser now :Reverend:

I wasn't drunk at the time but I am now. I actually did do this. It really did feel exciting, being in a little Holden with cross plys on, on a great angle. It made you feel like you were driving a big ford.

I put my old XF in to R once doing about 100kph. Comming home from high school down McIntyre Rd. Back then petrol money was short so I would put it into N at the top of the hill and coast it - If you got a lucky green light at the bottom you could roll for k's. Anyway this time the sloppy selecter went a bit far and grabbed R. Did surprisingly little though. Made some awful noise like draging a cardboard box on concrete but the car didnt seem to slow down that much. Very surprised nothing broke.

things you should not do:
1: get ****ed, remember (hazily) something that happened 20+yrs ago in a commodore, then write a thread in e-series chat about it. 2: bother reading this thread. spose its a bit late for that though. |

WTF would you put a car into reverse deliberately?
You can kill ya self and damage the car, also loosing control and hurting or killing others, it is just stupid!
