I did the R mistake many years ago in my Dad's new 1958 Buick. It had a Dynaflow transmission. I musta thought R was for "Race"! The engine wined like it had been kicked in the ***** but thank God for my a$$ it didn't hurt anything! I broke out in a cold sweat!

 

ockie a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one.

 

how did I miss this thread....

 

I've done this in the other direction before, otherwise none as a "reverse slam". Yup, that didn't end well. Try explaining to your dad how the tranny fell out when he worked on cars enough to KNOW what happened. He just sat there and let me squirm for awhile before dropping the hammer. Let's just say that I rode a bike to work for the summer that year.

 

My Dad works at the truck assembly plant in Oshawa, ON and the first thing a truck goes through right off the assembly line is get driven to 35 mph and then thrown into park - the rear wheels lock up and there is a bunch of tire squeeking going on. The theory is if anything is ever going to break, its going to break then. I don't know if they do this to Hummers or just Silverados.

 

Interesting...never heard that before.

 

COOL JOB!!!

 

Forget kicking her, give her a nice big mushroom to the face!!!

[:@][:@][:@] Hope the rig is okay. My stepdad did this in his 1980something 300zx and he said nothing happened, the car just howled really loudly and shut off, worked fine afterwards, but I'd run it up to the dealer and see if the tranny checks out.

 

And why is that HummBob??????

 

Your girlfriend is a moron, I hope everything works out for your truck. Being pussywhipped must be a bitch! Your name is awesome though.
