LOL still cant drive an Auto.
 
Something funny happened to me earlier today. Went to overtake a slow moving car in front ( 39 mph in 50 zone ), put foot on gas pedal and downshifted, the Z hit 2nd gear and hit the rev limiter a couple of times. Rev limiter works better than my old e36 m3 LOL.

Now unbenknownst (sp?) to me when I floored it a little she had already automatically dropped to 3rd I am guessing. Moral of the story stick to D mode and go cut off the padle shifters tomorrow as this old dog dont know shizzle about auto. Second moral of story, downshift first, then put foot on gas pedal :roflpuke2:

Perfection comes after practice.
and one more time. and one more time. and one more time. :icon17:

I'm still looking for a 3rd pedal when I get in the family vehicle (is an automatic) and it happens every single time.

My favorite is when I go for that 3rd pedal and it ends up being the edge of that retardedly wide brake pedal all automatics seem to have.:icon17:

The only automatics I drive are rental cars and I will inevitably jam on the brakes, hard, with my left foot at least once per rental.

My left foot just hulk smashed into that foot rest thingie on the far left. I turn the car flintstone style and use my shoe to stop my left wheel from it going through the wheel well looking for the clutch.

he floored it to get around a slow driver, car downshifts by itself, he downshifts again with the paddle shifter not expecting the car to downshift on its own and bounces off the rev limiter.
