With a powerband like the one in my car (heavily swayed to the top), it's worth dropping down and getting a jump with a 4500+ burst.

Haha, its okay. I remember that feeling. Just make sure you are positive you know what you are talking about before you say something, so you dont look like an ***...

Oh, and just so you know... the thing that shows what speed you are at is called the speedometer... The tachometer shows the RPM's and the Overdrive, well that is something entirely different

Look at kevin trying to act like he knows something. "The thing that shows what speed you are going is called the speedometer". Good thing you're here, I know I was stumped.

Kevin, feel dumb again, the Odometer is what shows how man miles you have driven, and even it might have the gear selection choices in that section as well...


what shows the RPM's is the TACHOMETER

now you can feel dumb again
