    Don't you think he's tried that? It's quite obvious that he forgot to take the car out of park :P.

    I don't have this game, but try messing around with the change gear buttons. Your car might be in park.

    Well, nowhere in his post did he ever mention holding down the right trigger.

    He said he's at Tier 3, so I assume so.

    You have no sympathy for him, do you? Maybe his daughter used up all the gas driving to her friend's out-of-town party the preceding Saturday :P.

    Why is this not on the NSF: Shift forums? 
     
    Anyways, that sounds like a weird bug. 
    It's pretty clear that you've turned on the controller, since you wouldn't be able to navigate through the menus without it, but some people are just too dumb to figure that out. 
    But that's their parents fault.

    Christ reading back on my comment I don't know what I was thinking. Sorry. 
     
    I still don't think it was needed but I shouldn't have phrased it that poorly. Haha. 
     
    Sorry, again. No harm intended.

    Apparently this is a pretty prevalent glitch in NFS: Shift and it's not just limited to the Corvette at tier 3. Try going away and racing with another car and then trying again to see if that fixes the problem.

    And all of your contributions to these forums are a representation of intellect and witticisms.
     
    What did he expect getting NFS: Shift anyway? The fact that there is a bug is annoying but my suggestion was that he get a qualit racing sim game. Clearly from his giantbomb name he is a PS3 user and I am aware that GT5 is not yet released. However patience is indeed a virtue, and surely that racing sim fix could be better fulfilled by waiting for a quality product.
