You can tell a lot from the types of slips people make. Like when Clinton
did that Oval Office thing or when GW said "won't get fooled again" you knew
that that was their normal behavior. I don't believe that SnoMan has ever
driven a manual shift vehicle.

Then you're an idiot.

You said to select a gear that is not even an option, then you said to
select a gear that even the manufacturer does not suggest. AND, you reason
to select unavailable gears or gears that the mfg does not say to select is
based on something that 1.) can not happen, or 2.) if it does happen, the
least of your problems will be a blown engine because of the tires turning
so fast.
