I've only had the car for 3 weeks, so just this once will you please cut me some slack? Hey, none of us are perfect. We tend f up most of the time on most things, just ask our wifes and girlfriends. We all got a good laugh out of it. Lets move on. Welcome to the board and enjoy the car!!!!!

I've done this before while crossing the double yellow and passing someone, very dangerous. I held the shifter to the left and hit it left again while I was going about 25mph and my ESP kicked. This was extremely dangerous considering there was another car coming straight at me. I flashed my highbeams and honked my horn and he slowed down just in time for me to make it between him and the car to my right which I was trying to pass. From now on, I just usually leave it in D (S Mode) and floor it if I need to gain some speed. You guys have more powerful cars than I do, so I'd just be careful that you don't downshift too low causing your car to basically die on you for a couple of seconds.
