Me either. The only "oh ****" handle is the one you pull the door shut with. The dashboard is a popular alternative.

I always hear about the oh **** handles being broken on rx-7's... wonder why....

The worst I ever scared a passenger was my dad, when I had just gotten the car (90 TII with as much HP as an FD) The car still had a straight pipe on it too (later replaced with high flow cat)

I was taking him for a little ride around the neighborhood, explaining about turbos and boost lag, and he didn't quite get it, so I turned a corner in 2nd gear at maybe 1500rpm and mashed the throttle. Of course, nothing much happened. The car started churning forward in a halfassed way until it got to about 3500RPM, and then took off like a rocket. He started screaming, so I stomped on the brakes with full force to show that everything was ok. muahahahaaha

There's nothing like seeing the expression on your dad's face as he white nuckles the oh **** handle and the e-brake.
