Driving in top gear at 105 mph. I'm gonna need to really give it the beans if I have any hope to pass them. I increase throttle for the down shift, pop the clutch, increase throttle just a little more, pull too hard on the shifter and jam it into second. I slam on the gas but there's a hard lurch, the tires chirp in agony, I weave around trying to control my car, and a rod launches from my engine.

Just when it seems like I'll never recover, I grit my teeth, hunker down over the steering wheel with white knuckles, grip the shifter knob, and slam on the gas. My car makes a sound like a lawnmower misfiring. I engage my NOS and burst into flames then explode. Guess I won't be back for the sequel, but I'll be in the one after that.
