Worst part about a manual

...as a guy, shifting quickly uphill. This has happened to every guy that has shifted quickly while driving uphill. Today I was pulling out uphill on a 2 lane road, rpms hit 7k and I shift into second, and *Ouch!*, so I pull off to do a readjustment.

Try this one:

Guy in a GTI comes aside me on the Autobahn. Wants to race me (clearly doesn't know what 335i stands for). I shift back in 5 and punch it. He clearly is loosing meters. Then at 6k i shift... in 4...

F*CK

Be careful... don't want you to start a money shift thread.

Not sure many people want to say they f*cked up no matter how much anonymity there may be here.

FTW for people who can't drive. It's too complicated having to work the left foot and the right arm.
