I've been in full auto before and forgot (thinking I was in MM) and shifted up into neutral then I tell myself what a dumb@ss I am... but I'm never in MM and forget to shift - the revs (sound) tell you, and its hard to ignore

 

LOL...I've almost done that...but have caught myself before it happened.

Okay, now that we're all being honest here... When I was 16 or 17 and had my license for a year or so, I had an '85 Camry (auto) that I could use at free will (it was my parents car that they let me use) and would try to save gas (you know...when gas used to cost like $1.19/gallon ) by popping the car into neutral when going downhill (I know, dumb idea...I was a kid). Well one time when I did this, I accidentally pushed it into reverse (no joke). The car automatically stalled, all the lights came on and I drifted to the bottom and pulled off to the side (yeah, almost $hit my pants...not knowing if the car would start again!). Sure enough, the car started and luckily drove away! A few years later, my reverse was completely shot (yeah...no longer worked) but car drove great going forward! In college, my buddies used to have to help me at the gas station if the only open pump was one that I'd have to back into...it was quite amusing when we would have to do this.
