Going 60 mph in neutral...then accidently put in Rear Options

[mrgrape]

So i was going downhill and since i didnt want in drive
i changed the gear to neutral
then when it was about to flat out i accidently put it in rear
and then i heard a sudden thump....and the car stalled
so i pulled over and turned off the car......
then i waited a few moments and worked fine
but how exactly did i **** up my car

before i sold my old auto st celica i put it in reverse, drove backward till i was around redline i think i was around 40mph. (its been awhile), then dropped it in drive expecting a good burnout or something to break. to my surprise no tire spinning, no burn out, no nothing. it just dogged on its face an eventually picked up in drive. boring. surprised nothing broke.

while yours was the opposite of mine, i bet it was pretty awesome.
