I always shift into neutral after the stripe, but really smacked the shifter hard on that one! Didn't total the car, but sure scarred it up. Not to mention the car in the other lane and the guardrail........not one of my finer moments and a really crappy way to make friends and influence people.......I shift into neutral very gently now
