Here's my story. I was driveing In Pollock Pine's, It was winter, but no snow. I was takeing this left, It was a wide left turn a little long too, Im rockin out to the music, Then, my 6gc just spins out, Now Im going side's down this turn, one side there a ditch, on the other...a cliff...Im trying to correct the turn and I look to the right...Two vans are comeing....."F@$!" Im gonna die!" I thought to myself, Then, the tire's caught and I rolled backward's Into the ditch, just In time. I was hella shakeing, I started her up again, and pulled out of the ditch and Into a flat area. Left her running got out of the car, still hella shakeing, lit a cigarette, and just looked at her. Man, that was some crazy **** that day.

In the line on scary and stupid things I have done as a driver there are 2 that are still fresh in my memory:
#1 being my trip to player158s house for the car meet a couple years back.
It all began with a trip to Virgina... then we all started cruising. Not till I took a very formidable 90 degree turn sideways I realized that I perhaps do not need to follow the caravan going 50 on a winding mountain road. Skip ahead skip ahead 2 days later on the way back I decided to traverse that very same route again but forgot that you need to drive like 20 miles under 25mph speed limit there to stay on the road. So im going like 60 going up the hill almost reaching the crest. All of a sudden I hear vroooooooooooooooooooooooom as my gas pedal sunk, I saw the birds... I saw the trees then maybe a solid 2-5 seconds later I fall to the ground breaking all my suspension and well if you read my posts on these forums I pretty much destroyed the structural integrity of my vehicle. By my crude estimate I had to be in air for at least 100ft and dropped from at least 20 ft height as the mountain road went for a sharp 45 degree down slope. Needless to say my car stalled, my car slammed to the ground.. I cant turn, cand move. Had to walk for a mile to see a house, payed some guy to basically drag my car across the asphalt to a safer place. Cut 2x4s.. jacked my car up and placed them things in between what was left of my coils and body of car. I was determined to make it to work the next day so I drove to new jersey like that.. leaking many different fluids and probably hurting the car even more.

#2 being stuck between 2 18 wheelers when they sandwitched me between themselved and we drove like that from exit 8 to exit 9a on i 95 in new jersey.. something like 20 miles. They did not hear my horn and neither saw me. I was pretty much stuck between where their trailer starts and right before rear tires with half of my car under each trailer. I was set free when one of them decided to switch lanes. Never in my life have I spent so much time trying to explain my coworkers why my roof was bent in, my pride hurt and I did not drive that highway again for at least 6 months.

And THATS why they made that new law this year in FL stating that all trucks MUST be on the far right lane on I-4. Besides that, truckers are a nuisance here in FL. There are so many of them in the mornings till noon. They constantly block all the lanes.
