Default Freeway speed in second gear?

A series of Facebook comments from friends of mine. Considering severing these relationships.

Angela: I drove on the freeway for 10 miles in 2nd gear. No wonder my car sounded funny. *facepalm*

Carla: dude you can drive stick? you are my hero.

Elizabeth: lol I've done that a few times.

Angela: it's actually automatic. I think that makes this more embarrassing, haha.

Elizabeth: glad to know I'm not alone.


yep. Is it worse that this (1) happened or (2) she didn't feel too ashamed to publicly admit how bad she is at driving? Not a new driver, either.

^^She can't drive manual, no problem! Is this a reason to never buy an automatic/DSG type car?

I'll rephrase.

Remind me to never let her attempt to drive my S2000.

Doesn't make sense unless she shifted it manually into '2' otherwise the car would autoshift itself.
