Step 1 - Rev it until it beeps.
Step 2 - Shift.
Step 3 - See Step 1.

So you have the first convertable RX, that nobody knows about? Interesting...
Just because you can drive around in first doesn't mean you should. Second gear is your friend.

I used to drive my Z like that between speedbumps(not reverse)

Ya I dont realy drive in first, i was joking. I do drive in second most often around town and 3rd on the Highway when i need to move.
Secondly... no It does not look like a fat a** torque monger. And i never said I actualy had a convertable, i just describe my car like one
. I also decribe my cars top speed as the rate of acceleration of Earth's gravity, or 9.8m/s/s.

I modified my shinka to be green and have a cloaking device that makes it Black Chery Mica
is your top dessert color?
