I was in 3rd gear around 3000 rpm. Had an itch on the bottom of my right foot. I turn on cruise control real quick while I give a quick scratch.

Traffic was catching up to me and I was still struggling to scratch that itch. So I hit the accelerate button up to 4000rpm then to 5000rpm. I was thinking... hmm this can't be healthy for the engine.

Still struggling to scratch that itch and traffic was on my butt. Eventually I just held the accelerate button all the way to vtec. Felt a slight push when I cross over 5800rpm. People pass by anyway looking at me all weird. I guess because my exhaust was roaring but I was hardly going anywhere.

Well anyhow that is my random story. I'm wondering if I'm the first to vtec in cruise mode?
