i almost shat in my pants on my way home

comming up to speed on the on ramp, i go to shoulder check, all is clear. i turn back to find every one infront of me breaking really hard. i had to swerve though 3 lanes just to avoid the saturn Ion infront of me. it could have turned in to about a 10 car pile up. i'm still shaking, heart is pounding. just happy to have my summer tires on. if i would have had my all seasons on, i would never have been able to avoid the Ion infront, and i would have lit up my tires for sure. *prays to the Toyo Proxes gods* just freaked out a little, had to tell a few people. thanks for listening.

Your good tires and your small firefly were looking over you. And the Jesus Pimp was watching over you too :)

3 hours later and i still can't get over it. but the freaky side of me had fun. it was kinda like turn Number 1 in any F-1 race. sorta get dafuck out da way sityation. i sorta got a high from it, but i really don't want to try it again any time soon

Man i'm glad your are okay. I have the same accident that totalled my GSR back in 98. I was getting on the freeway looking over and dthen ahead a hold bitch in a taurus locked up her brakes to stop. WEll I didn't have enough time to brake in time. there was construction on both sides of me so i had to choice. I rear ended her. My integ was gone :( but the good ol' taurus only had a dented muffler and a bit bend up bumper. I'm glad you are okay ... just hate thinking about it.

too bad you didnt have a dash camera to record it. Kinda like when you are racing, dash cams capture the most spectacular videos

I hate when that happens!

I was driving in my 635 a couple years ago, doin about 75- 80 on an empty sunday morning, im cruising along in the exit lane behind some random car, all of the sudden he changes out of the lane as it begins to split into the offramp to reveal a nice little FIRETRUCK, going 5mph a couple hundred feet in front of me! I slammed on my brakes and stopped about 10 feet away. The guy sitting backward in the truck watched me do it the entire time and started laughing and gave me a thumbs up when i finally stopped.

Good that you're ok.. I was workin on the SkyTrains above the freeway once out here.. you wouldn't believe how many near misses there are at onramps/offramps...

[beaty-k_87]

stupid saturns! could have been worse it could have been some (a little exaggerated...) f-4550505055527 v-10 quad turbo diesel in front of you that would have taken up all 3 lanes of traffic, you'll only see that in my town!

yeah i had the same shit happen to me yesterday but it was on city street i was going about 65-70 under this under pass in the middle lane and came upon this red light wasn't really paying attention i thought it was still green till i seen everybody braking luckily the fast lane was open so i slammed on the brakes.they didnt catch at first till i heard screaching and i seen smoke and everybody body looking i was like oh shit?yeah i felt the same way till i got that rush?i just lit up a cigarette afterwards and was like hmm?i had only about 20 feet available in the fast lane?trying to control the car?

the moral of this story being that shoulder checks are an unescisary (i know i cant spell) evile...
