Thumbs down Always check if it's a manual or an auto!!!

This car was rented in Hungary by a 30 y.o. woman who drove it for almost 150 miles on the highway in 1st gear, thinking it had an automatic gearbox. The result... see for yourselves:

pictures don't work?

but, if you drove a stick like it were an automatic without using the clutch, it would stall right away, so this woman was blonde, right?

How can you drive 55 mph+ on the highway in the first gear? My Mustang can't go faster than 38 mph in the first gear.

She didn't drive 55+ mph, but a distance of almost 150 miles.

Well, when you said she went on the highway, I assumed she was driving same as the speed limit. Not under 40 mph.

when i worked at a service station several hundred years ago a customer pulled their car on the rack ..the mechanic serviced the car and reached in thru the open window and started the car .. it was in reverse .. cranked rite up .. out thru the big roll up door it went and promptly into a pole .. the mechanic was not fired .. later he left a mercedes up in the air on the lift and did not set the safety down latch .. it came down during the nite on top of a corvette .. he still was`nt fired .. i think he is still there today

Wow!! That is incredible. Not a very bright driver. You would think at a minimum she would have thought something was wrong and stopped!!!!

In the morning isi facu an termos from coffee its il aiba at road Panama at of her erau from gone vreo 400 from kilometer for careƂ prima jumatate pe autostrada.


Cobora at masina, isi puse coffee close, belt from safety, porni engine. With her look fugara herself uita in mirror. Era multumita why vazuse: her blonda cute, at 30 from ani what looks like from 25, safety her. Baga in rate si porni at road.

Si gone…. merse….merse…. aproximativ 200 from kilometer from autostrada dupa what engine of cedat. Masina non avea bin automatic how credea herself. Ci manual. Si dupa 200 from km in treapta 1 from rate, masina her cea noua s- of converter putin…

I'll translate the translation.

She recieved some cute data from a primate. It was a Friday and her house had been vacant for three days even though she lived with her friend Peter. But it was May and they had lived there for nearly a year. She decided to give herself some extra motivation to kick him out. So she invited him to the carnaval to see the Prince concert.

In the morning she would throw coffee in his face. He was burnt so badly and the nearest hospital was 400 kilometers away down Panama Rd all the way to Autostrada.

The Cobra Mustang; better then a cup of coffee, has seatbelts and a porno engine. She drove it backwards while looking in the mirror. It had a multivalve engine, but what would she care she is 30 years old and only looks 25. She took off down the road at porno speed.

She was gone, faster... faster... until she was about 200 kilometer from autostrada. A Camaro with an engine pulled up. To her, he looked really gay with his automatic transmission. They decided to race the next 200 km but the torque converter blew out of the camaro just 1 mile down the road. The End.
