Default Cruising in the 5th gear

I recently (yesterday) got a 2006 S2K with 21000 miles on it and little did I know that it had the 6th gear. So I drove 120 miles at around 70 mph in the 5th gear. Do you think it did any damage to the car? Just wondering.

lol... no, the car is fine. You burned more gas than you probably should have, but you didn't do any damage.

You have an aftermarket shift knob with no engraving?

When I bought the car I would keep it in 5th for a few days for a few minuets I kept for getting. Then again when I hop into 5-speed I always put it in reverse thinking I have a 6th gear lol. Thank god I am getting better
