If you have to take your kid's tree swing down because that tire is better
than the ones on your truck, you might be a redneck.

It is my understanding that shifting to first is locked out above 8 MPH, 
but I've not tried it. Since it is really the same as the kickdown 
switch, it should only downshift to a safe gear.
