Were you trying to punch your center console and you forgot to take your hand off the shift knob?

125 lbs of pure steel baby, haha naw i just always have slammed gears real hard mazda is warranty it thank god but driving it off the linkage is a real good time haha...
funny you post this .. a friend of mine just did this in his WRX on thursday! snapped it right at the base of the shifter. Good thing he had a short throw at his house from his old 08 wrx. however, he does have like 90000 miles on it. i think im gonna get some re-bar and weld it to my shifter base lol. no breaking that!
Man, you sure do shift hard...do you drag race, too?
