    Honestly, if your posts are real, you need more training. Whoever gave you your license and cut you loose solo should have their license pulled as well.

    A lot of less experienced drivers would have pulled over at the slightest sign of catastrophic mechanical failure.

    Not an endorsement. It's a restriction

    You noticed it working hard and lots of smoke, and didn't stop to see what the hell was going on? Then you essentially slam shifted it off the road? I better shut up.
