Thus far we’ve showcased guys really getting it done with manual transmissions with our Parting Shift items. Today we take an ominous turn into the world of fail. See that tach needle buried way, way beyond the 9,000 RPM redline? Yeah, that baby has found some uncharted real estate because the driver of the car has expertly moved the shift lever from third to second gear at full song at nearly 100-mph. The hilarious thing is what the guy says after he does it. This is adult language so don’t break our chops if it hits your virgin eardrums and offends you. You’ve been warned.
Oh, and on more thing. This is not a “bag on the ricer kid” video. There are plenty of us who have found the unintended slot in the shift pattern while screwing around with our cars. Yeah, it happens to be an Acura Integra or something similar but if it was a Chevelle or Fairlane, we’d run the story just the same. Truth.

Dumb ass! Even my 15 year old grand daughter who just got her learners permit knows better than that.
It’s bad enough to admit you can’t shift but to post it on YouTube!
Sometimes there never enough chlorine to clean the gene pool.
Looks like it’s JUST old enough of a vehicle to not have a rev limiter…lol
Even if it had a rev limiter, going from third to second would still rev the motor up to over nine grand. All the rev limiter does is shut off the ignition.
vtec yo….
One more reason automatics are a better option for most 😛
VETC kicked the hell out of the block, yo
