Definitely. I was pulling up on the knob trying to get it into reverse like how I assumed it work, but I was just knudging myself forward in first. Luckily, there were only a few cars, and the worst it got was some honking and what not.
I decided to pull over into a parking lot as quickly as I could so I could review the manual. Once there, I practiced some starts, stops, and reverses... all with fairly poor clutch releases so there was some slight wheel spin and screaching. Did this for about a half hour. When I finally felt comfortable enough to make it home, I proceeded to leave the parking lot. As I did, however, I saw a sign that read... "Buena Park Police Station."
So... I was essentially burning out, revving loud, and making a shit ton of noise in general... in a police station parking lot.
