One day, someone gave me a car.

The next day, on the way to get the title exchanged, he took the car back. He asked me to drive it to his house, stating some BS excuse.

I told you that story so this one would make sense:

As I pulled onto this guy's (paved) road, I accelerated to about 60 MPH, put the transmission into neutral, redlined the engine, and dropped it into reverse, stalling it instantly. (Not what I expected to happen.) Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone actually damaging their car by accidentally putting it into reverse, even on the old GM 2speed powerglide auto.

Unfortunately, nothing happened to the car.. this was 5 years ago, the guy still drives it.
