Well, not on a public road of course...
Only in rush hour traffic and I have to weave like a mofo to keep up the speed

In all seriousness it's normally on open, near empty freeways outside major urban centers. Say on the way to LA on the 5

Haha this is pretty funny. No harm has been done, but now you know what it would be like if you had some 4.77 gears in 6th gear.

The worst is when your in a 5 speed and actually get the car into Reverse (sometimes if the RPMs are just right I can go right thru the reverse gate on my other car) and then right as your about to let the clutch out you think hmmm something doesn't seem right. Done that once or twice

I'm just curious what made you think you hurt the car in 5th @ 70 ??

You can cruise around in 4th at that gear and be fine

Your not gonna hurt the car @ 70 unless you drop it in second gear by accident.
