When I drive my gals car I must plant my left foot flat on the floor to avoid this.
Ha I'm guilty of doing the opposite. I got my z for Christmas and hadn't driven a m/t in 5 years. I had just finished about an hour of hwy driving and when I exited I was zoned out and came to a stop with the car still in 6th. Wondered wtf happened... Then I realized. Luckily I was the only one in the car and no one was around to hear my engine restart. Sooo embarrassing

These things happen.

RE: Sooo embarrassing. Locking up the brakes at a crosswalk is far from a pat on the back from pedestrians.
