My car talks to me.

Another way of doing such a thing would be to turn off the overdrive, or shift out of D and into 3, then 2 and then 1. It's also the recommended way to slow a car down if the acceleration pedal loses its recoil, and just sinks to the floor (causing the vehicle to continuously accelerate, regardless of braking).

Granted, this will all but destroy the motor and gearbox of the automobile, but which is worth more to you? Up to $9000 damage to your engine, or the vehicle itself and possibly your life?

The only problem is that the auto settings, at least for my country, don't have 1, 2 or 3. Just D.

Then I would be in a bad fix.

But if I chance upon an auto setting like that, I'll remember.

Omi owns a a talking car. A Transformer, perhaps?

Okay, I'll remember that the next time I drive 100 mph.

Really, I dunno what the conversion is, but if you go more than 60 something MPH, you start losing fuel efficiency, and just waste more gas against air resistance or something. So maybe be more conservative by driving slower than wrecking the gear box.

Sure, manual may be better, even though I'm too lazy to learn it. But going slower works for me.
