Brain Fart Driving

Anybody else done this - drive around in 5th and forget you have a 6th? Go to dim your lights and cut them off by mistake?

Yes, and I've also mistaken 6th gear as reverse every now and then. It's confusing having 2 5-speeds and 1 6-speed.

you don't have to worry about, making an mistake and going into reverse, when driving, because, there is a block set in place while driving, that will not allow the shifter to go into reverse.
Ahh what a relief

760 miles on my car so far, and don't remember going that far. i must have been doing a lot of cruising.

I am at 1700 and can't believe I have gone that far in a month when I work from home!! I do sometimes forget where I am going and just keep driving until I come out of my fog and realize I should have gotten off two exits before.
