hehe, I have done that. Thats the one downfall to switching back and forth to manual. You can get confused.

No big deal man. Mine is still running perfect.

Oh oh - the car is now worthless. I'll take it off your hands for $1,000.

Don't sweat it - going into N will rev the engine (assuming your foot was on the gas pedal at the time), and the ECU will prevent any damage when you slammed it back into D. I wouldn't make a habit of doing this though...
