I'm such an idiot it makes me wanna cry!

I can't beleive what I just did. I was trying to get out of the parking lot at school and I was on a really steep hill. Sooo...... I went forward a little but I thought I killed it, sooo...... I tried to start it again, but it was already started and it made the worst sound in the world. I couldn't beleive I did that. That's gotta be horrible for the poor thing.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Yes.... I have heard this noise also. Thankfully, not in my 2k1 civic, just in my 1992 civic. Just happen to turn it the wrong way from time to time.

I have done that before too. It's a gosh awful sound! It does make you feel like an idiot though. Don't feel to bad. I was at the lexus dealership one day and a salesman was talking about the ls430. Apparantly, a lot of ls430 owners burn up their starters doing exactly what you did. The car and engine are so quiet and you can't tell the darn things running.
