why is it that bad to be in neutral at 80 mph? if the engine isnt connected, whats the difference in idling at 0 or 80 to the engine?
Because if your engine should stall when you're at 80 you will have no power to your brakes, steering and whatever else. If you can't get back into DRIVE or gear you will really be up a creek!
