Smartass > dumbass.

Yeah, everyone should just be able to jump in any car and find where reverse is. I've had cars mario andretti couldn't find reverse in.
Why don't you stop being rude in every single thread you walk in. No one is impressed.

RTFM :stirthepot: :tup:

Was there a salesman involved in this transaction? :icon14:

I thought his comment was funny. In fact now Ima go back and give him +1 rep lmao:tiphat:

Well that's the POINT you don't sell someone a car without giving the person who just spent the better part of 30 or 40 GRAND on a car a thorough walk-through on how it works? WTF? :hello:

I already knew but my dealer did tell me about having to push down to go in reverse.

I learned the hard way years ago back in high school auto shop class. We had a VW as a shop car and it was out in the lot and i went to go drive it in the shop. Well i didnt know at the time that you had to push down to go over in reverse so i had put it in drive. So im looking back over my shoulder expecting the car to go backwards, gave it gas and hit the wall that was like 1ft in front of me.

Didnt leave any marks and no one saw me do it so i just pretended it never happened. Went inside and asked the teacher if there was a trick to getting it in reverse and he was like "Oh yea, you gotta push it down and then over"

:icon18: +1 ftw

When I test drove one, they didn't tell me either, however I figured it out in 3 seconds. I helped that my first job out of high school was working on cars. I believe it was volvo that had a button type deal under the shift knob that you had to pull up on in order to go into reverse. And the shifter on my '69 Camaro had a red lever that you had to push to go from neutral into reverse. B&M Pro Stick.

I personally really love that function because in spirited driving I've found myself going into reverse on my SVT focus trying to go into first (left and up just like first but a little resistance to go into) around a sharp corner. Luckily I've always stopped myself from ripping it apart because I realized what I had done.
