For some time now, we showed you a video with the consequences of shifting to reverse gear at 100 km/h. Now, we bring you another video with the answer to a question you probably had never asked before: What happens if I shift into 1st gear while riding at 90 km/h in an old Opel Astra?
Well, YouTuber mastermilo82 wanted to answer that question and so he picked up the old Opel Astra again and took the 1st one while driving at 90 km/h and, as you already guessed, the result was not positive.
The engine complained, it seems to have lost one… or two cylinders, but despite the violence of the test, it didn't die! That's why he was submitted to a second attempt (this time only at 50 km/h because it was no longer possible) and even so he gave his soul to the creator, even being able to drag the Astra to the trailer!
