No Sixth Gear!

So for my birthday...my dad let me have his Black GT for the day...so to make the best of it...I drove my wife to work and picked her up in it was well...(I had the day off)...So I was headed back home...and was going up through the gears...driving normally...and for some reason, I tried to make a 5th to 6th shift! Glad that reverse is on the far right!...I thought it was funny....guess I've been spending too much time in Terminators!

Been there done that. Who else has gotten in a rentaracer and went for the clutch? After 10 hr travel days, I do it pretty frequently. Which would be a lot funnier except for the worried looks on co-workers faces after those episodes. I drive. Always. They don't get the option. Its in my contract.

well D&D has one with the driveshaft, shifter, and everything you need for 5k. if you get rid of the shaft ill bet it drops it around 900 bucks or so. 4g isnt too bad but it will drop over time

You know the other day after driving my mustang. I parked it and then pressed the imaginary parking brake pedal with my left foot. The last vehicle I had that used that style of parking brake was my Ranger over 4 years ago.

I was stepping on the imaginary clutch in my Crown Vic, and trying to find the e-brake pedal in the Stang.

At least the highbeam switch is part of the turn signal stalk... Our old E-150 had a foot switch for the high beams.
