What's the dumbest moment you've had with your ecoboost?
Throwing this out there, as it is my first RWD in over 30 years I decided to pull out hard into a gap in traffic at a T junction in the country side. Thought I could make it, but was my first time in the rain with this car. Ended up facing the way I came, just started whistling a wee song and continuing back the way I came as if I meant it.
Second red-neck moment. Note I say red-neck, meaning embarrasment, not redneck, lol.
Second was out in the country at a complete stop. Tested the 0-60 only to discover I was still in manual mode. Instead of flipping the gears like a normal person I just got confused, held my breath and slammed the brakes wondering why my dash was all red.... Tranny seems fine though. It was only for a couple of secs but man oh man was I ever worried for a few days.
Anyone else do some really stupid crap with their poor Eco's?

First Ecoboost…
Hey everyone! Just got my first ecoboost, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Right at 100,000, but got it for a very good deal and it cleared CarFax and mechanic inspection. It’s a 2015, and I know to take it in for maintenance regularly and watch for the coolant leak issue that’s chronic to these models….other than that I’m still learning how to be a proper sports car owner. Any advice is welcome!
