That's cool to hear. I just got mine a few weeks ago and it still hasn't sunk in yet. Do what kabob said. Most people make the mistake of shifting too early. Be careful though b/c the shifter is probably quicker than your previous car if it was stock. If you really want a rush try this on a two-lane road. When passing a car on some rural road, try droping it into 3rd at about 65 or 70 and punch it. Upon engaging into third it will jump directly into Vtec and roar away. Throw it into fourth, look down and see you're doing 90. Now, slow down, put it back into fifth and try to wipe away that silly smile. It's a feeling like no other...
