ARG! Mythbusters! Arg!

I’m watching Mythbusters tonight and they are testing the “put the car into reverse to stop” myth.  They totally miss it.

Their automatic had an interlock that prevented it.  But, I know that some automatics support this (see http://www.gt-legends.de/faq_en/q13.html)

The manual they used had a synchronized transmission.  Of course that won’t work…the synchronizers in the transmission are preventing the gears frm meshing.

I think they missed this one.
