So you abused your friends ITR with a miss-shift and have nothing else to say?

Other then the error, how did you like the caR?

Nope. I can't say that I missed 5th when I picked up my previous car from the dealership. You really gotta suck at driving a manual to miss gears in an ITR (DC2R).

first congrats to your bday

and wow **** man..... don t do that again or i ll come all the long way from germany and force you to do something shitty that you don t like *hehe*

but its like my first ride with an R - I didn 't miss-shift - after that ride i was infected and tried hard to find a good one with low miles - what is normally not to find in europe.

in the end i found one with 25000 km on the engine and 60000 on the wheels.
so it was best choice to get - even if some tuning parts are crappy.....

missing 5th by not getting it into gear right away = just a silly mistake

missing 5th by putting it into 3rd instead = dumb and expensive

Good thing yours was only the first category.

Sounds like you should look for an automatic ITR.

First time I drove an ITR I bought it. Had .8 miles on it when I took it for a drive and had 5miles that I put on it when I bought it. I have never missed a gear. The car was destiney. I hapend to go home to Florida for Xmas. Me and my wife had taken her altima and I left my Si at home in Georgia. We were going to eat some where and I hapend to catch a glimpse of the spoiler behind another car at the dealer. I told my wife to turn the F**k around. The car had just been pulled of a truck and still had the white plastic on the hood and roof. I took it for test drive and fell in love. That was Christmass Eve 00 I went back the day after Christmass bright and early and got her. Best damn Christmass ever.
