Getting out of neutral
Hi! I've been a lurker on this list for a while and a 05 MCS owner for about a year. Now I'm finally getting out of neutral

Here's the skinny on your gear milestones:

1st Gear: 11
2nd Gear: 51
3rd Gear: 151
4th Gear: 301
5th Gear: 601
6th Gear: 1101

Once you get into 4th gear, it'll take a while to advance to the upper crusing gears... :-)

You're at 9 right now.

Couple more posts and you will be out of neutral.

(Hoping to graduate to 2nd gear soon.

Hey you fellow Lurkers,

I've been in neutral for four years! This site has really grown since the early days. I finally decided to add my 2 cents! I think I just hit 1st.
