Message	....um...going "too fast"... I nearly sh!t myself when I went to downshift and the shifter hit the drive drive shaft and started bouncing up and down... It was braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkes..... oh sh!t!!! oh sh!t!!!! shift DAMNIT! braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkes..... oh sh!t!!! oh sh!t!!!! shift DAMNIT! Finally I got it in gear and made the corner w/ at least 1ft to spare from the wall. It was absolutely retarded, scared the hell out of myself, and decided that I should probably try to refrain from being stupid. Chris.
