HI. Today while pulling into the driveway I accidentally left it in third instead of putting it in first to slowly ease the car in. The engine bogged pretty badly until I put it into first. Because I do everything smoothly, artfully, like a matador, while driving, this disturbed me a lot.

How bad is bogging the engine? I feel like going out and driving right for a while to undo what I've done.

 

ouch. you should really go to the dealership and have them check up on the car. sounds like you really messed it up! hehe

 

Nowhere close to the harm caused by mis-shifting that leads to mechanical over-rev. The worst that bogging could do is load the rod and main bearings while the oil film is thin due to low rpm. Even then, no big deal when it happens once or twice.

 

OMG you bogged it you'r definetly dealer bound

 

not that big of a deal if it's not frequently done (bogging)....dont worry about. just try not to do it again in the future and u'll be fine

 

OMG I didn't know I damaged the car this bad. Im just gonna donate it to the junkyard.

 

/sarcasm

seriously.
