When I had my Mazdaspeed MX-5, I swapped cars for a little bit with a buddies Civic Si. Well, he starts off slow in my car, then guns it. So I slam the gas in his Si, hit VTEC, and shift it. Well, the shift lever breaks. Complete at the ball where it goes into the transmission. I'm laughing my @ss off and waving his shift lever out of the window while rolling down the road in neutral at about 15mph in a 45mph zone. So I get out and push his car into a parking lot. He pulls in a few mins later wondering WTF happened.
After explaining to him that the lever just broke, we laugh and try to figure out how to get the car home. After about 15mins of brainstorming, we have our other buddy show up with a drill and tool kit. We actually drill down into the ball of the broke shift lever, then jam a screwdriver in it to create a make-shift shifter to get home. All this the night before NOPI. :lmfao:
Just a sidenote, I was nice enough to pay for half of his new short shifter. :)
