Damn I'm Stupid!

Hope I didn't cause any damage...

Alright I was driving home from the gas station. I got one of those big ass Arizona Iced Tea's that are 99cents. I tried to put it in the little area behind the shifter and the rear window controls, but it's too wide so it just barely stood there.

I was going down a steep hill to make a left turn at an intersection and I shifted the tranny into 2 to help me slow down, but some douchebag in a BMW cuts me off trying to make it into the left turn lane before me. So I hit the brakes to avoid rear ending him so the full Arizona nails my hand and pushes the shifter into Reverse and the rears lock up and the engine stalls.

I just put the transmission into neutral and started the engine back up. I hesitantly put it in Drive and drove home. It feels like it's driving normally.

Do you guys think I may have caused some damage?
BTW: It's an Automatic and sorry for the long post...

At slower speeds, you should be fine.
My buddy used to do that on purpose valet parking cars for a hotel.

Well I had just shifted it into 2 that's why my hand was still on the button and it allowed me to shift it into Reverse. I was probably going around 40 mph.
 
Your buddy sounds like a good bloke.

No doubt. I'd want to beat his @#$ if I caught him doing that to my vehicle. Some people have no respect. You work at a low paying valet service, yet want to trash my expensive car? When you and I both know you don't have the means to fix it? Sheesh!
