The other day we revealed the secret to shifting in the Fast and Furious movies. Fascinated, I decided to investigate this further, and found that while the Fast and Furious franchise obviously required something a bit more robust, there actually did appear to be a special version of manual transmissions used in movies.
Luckily, I was able to find one of these specially prepared movie cars and take a picture of the shifter — there it is up top.

My biggest annoyance is the use "shift into high gear"
Obama used it recently in conversation about the economy.
I don't want to shift this economy into high gear, I want to downshift it so we can make some torque. You'd think a guy who drove a Hemi 300C would know that.
