I was coming home from work today, I was haulin butt doin some corner carving. I was goin around a long left hander and I decided to kick it up and notch. I meant to move the geat selector from "OD" to "D", but I accidently moved it to second. Well I was going like 3500 in "OD" and my car relines at 5000. Anyway the tach peged past 6000. It was only there for a few seconds but it still scared the crap out of me, I spend 15 min. checking over the car to make sure every thing was Ok.

Have any of you guys ever done anything like this before?
