I absolutely agree.
I HATE driving Girlfriend in town.
Each and every stoplight is an open invitation for some (pick distracted driver of choice) to run into the back of me.
I just know that Allstate would total my car if they found out that just the rear bumper corner trim of my '90 was made of unobtanium. (we won't even talk about the bumper cover or rear quarter panels)......
Open road, no problem.
The "Go Pedal" will save me from nearly all the other idiots on the road, no matter what they might try to do.
My real fear is watching that minivan in the rear view mirror at the stoplight that can't stop in time because she/he's on the phone or distracted by the 399 kids in the back.
Think I'll probably need therapy.......

Oh yes, shifting.....
Usually between 2500 and 7500 depending on the mood.
