I'm probably the only person on the forum that can do it. I've already increased my mpg one mile after driving it thirty miles total to and from work

someone tell me how cool I am...wait...here it comes... ...nevermind I'm good

All aboard the Fail Boat!

Wow, this kid thought he invented skipping gears.

Very nice for a chuckle.

In other news, this forum is seriously lacking substance lately, except the GT-R forum, which seems to be the best place to get GT-R info that I can find.

ha who cares about racing an srt 4 when you know you're fasting than them...

honestly...i just said it for a rise...Z drivers are such cannibals...

get over myself? did you know that you too drive the sickest car on the road bra?

the DD miles i put on this car don't warrant such aggressive shifting...it's just something you should play around with if you're not so paranoid about beating the ricer to the right and left of you

Sickest car on the road? Sorry, my car is trumped by many exotics, and some cars known as Corvettes, especially the Z06 variety. Btw, I don't wear a bra.

You buy a sport car and then worry about gas millage... Nice, now sell it and go by a hybrid!

As far as going from 1-x gear, who in the hell can't! You can just start from 6th if you've got the road and time so that you don't bog the hell out of your car. But why, to save far less than the damage you will most likely do.

Thread failure!

No, you're probably the only person on the forum that wants to do it.


Oh wait.... this is a joke thread, right?

I see you've only been here about a year and a half. Most threads here have been ridiculous since before you joined.

HA! I got you beat on that one. Whenever I say "It's Yabba Dabba Doo time!" my gf runs out and pushes the car while I'm in neutral with the engine off.

No, no! I can do it! There's a little diagram on my shifter that shows me how.
