So, feel free to leave all of us "assholes" trying to talk about this to it and find another thread to get all butt hurt over. Mmmmmm'k? thanks.
Oh and by the way, So you killed a A/T when you were 16.. I'm guessing that was no more than 5 years ago. Further you neglect to share what type of car it was, the condition, and whether you only down shifted into turns. All this tells me is a another teenager killed a car.. Whoopie, name me 2 teens that did not kill at least one car in some way or another as they learned to drive, thats why it's called "learning".

wow dude. I am not getting pissy, I admitted that I was apperantly talking out of my ass.

I was 16, that was about 7 years ago, it was a brand new 3spd auto chevrolet cavalier. I downshifted into turns, and also used the 1-2-D method when accelerating. So yes, I did learn. I learned not to do that, and I tried sharing my personal experience here.

Spare me your high and mighty attitude about how I am the one that is hostile....your first reply to this thread you used the F word. I responded after several replies of yours that I was wrong, that you were right, and that if your transmission took a dump on you that I would laugh, and I will laugh if I see a post about your transmission slipping. So, admitting that you are right and I am wrong to you, is my butt hurting?

I offered my opinion to this debate and all you could do is say "that it has never happened to you" and then get hostile when I point out my reasons for thinking this is hard on transmissions.

Also, read that manual that was posted in PDF form, it says "Never put your foot on the accelorator pedal while shifting"...its the thing noted by the little caution sign...thats what I was refering to...I mean, you guys are the ones pointing stuff out in the manual, I was just reading what it said.

So, to recap, I am not pissy, I have shared with you the information about my car, I have not yelled or hollered yet, and you need to read the manuals that you post that are a attempt to prove me wrong. Mmmmmm'k? thanks.
