Had one occasion where I had to check my shorts. Not gonna lie. There's a little side street next to the development that I used for the test drives. Nice little stretch of road that nobody takes since it dead ends. After I took the car out a few times and made sure everything was kosher I got it on a few times and rowed through to 3rd gear. Scared the crap outta me and I was giggling like a kid at christmas time..
I will say that the little poem is true. Respect the car or it will kill you.
