Default Oops!

After a really long day of work and then class (14 hours straight), I took 'our first child' out for a little run. I still only have about 250 miles on it and have followed break-in directions to a "T". Anyway, I decided to pass someone before the 4-lane turned to a 2-lane, missed a shift (3rd gear at 5500 down to 2nd gear at who knows what RPMs), quickly got back into 3rd... then 4th, and on my way.

It was a little embarrassing.

Anyway, the sad part to me is that my baby lost it virginity in a downshift!
