Whats the scariest thing that happened with you and your Celica? Options

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.

EDIT-
I forgot to mention, the left turn I was takeing, It was a down hill turn, So Imagine, takeing the turn and all of a sudden, you lose traction and start going side ways down the two lane road, with a ditch on one side and a cliff on the other, then you look to the right, and there's two car's comeing at you.

I was minding my own business in my Celica, just listening to some Above & Beyond tunes. The light turns yellow and all of a sudden, I hear this screeching THUUUUUUUUU followed by smoke. I thought I was going to get hit or something. It was loud, and it took me by surprise. I was shaking. What happened? An 18 wheeler driver decided to do that cool driveshaft brake thing right besides me.

Oh, I did an involuntary Tokyo Drift when I started hydroplanning a 70 MPH. The road looked dry from far away. It made me shake, too.

2 things for me, got passed by pickup towing a boat, the boat trailer tire exploded, and the whole thing jackknifed!!! had to go 70 to 0 immediatly, stopped with about a 1ft to spare and the truck behind me stopped with only half foot to spare, i thought i was dead for sure.

other thing driven minding my own biz and bam! a frickin deer thru my windshield, bastard kicked me a couple times too.

driving home just now was pretty scary. driving at night when its snowing hard with no visibility and an inch or two of fresh snow overlaying ice on the road and hydroplaning on slush spots is not fun good news, my new tires have been pretty good in the snow last couple days and i can make it up my driveway easier most of my scary moments have been in snow. last year i was going around a corner and understeered right off the road and came about a foot from hitting a pole.

SCARY TREES:
over a year ago i was driving my gf back to her house one night during a storm, and vermont roads are far from straight and have alot of ups and downs. I was doing 50 in a 50 in the rain with my summer rims and i crest a hill in the dark and as my eye catches the road again i see a down tree laying across both lanes, all i could do was slam on the brake and brace myself. You all know that sound of locking up your tires in the rain right? well add that to a huge bang and in my situation the tree was about 5" in diameter and I nailed it so hard it jolted me and my gf in our seats frontward and sent my car a little sideways...I thought I nailed it with my tires but luckily since i lowered my car the log hit those closed off small hooks we have sticking out of the underside plastic....I made the log roll almost 75ft from where my car stopped.....all that happened was i ripped the underbody plastic out of my passenger side...


MY WORST SO FAR:
Another scary incident i had (which is why i don't race around anymore...happened 2 years ago) was I was following my friend in his brothers audi...this audi was running on 3 cyls bc it had an issue so my 1.8 celi was able to keep up...I was riding his ass and our lane went from 1-2..well we hit 80mph and the road we are on has 2 lanes for us and 1 for the other side...well we come up to a van and a red honda side by side blocking us and my friend goes around...well i'm 20 ft behind him and as i'm going around too headlights are no longer blocked by his car and I'm not going to make it..(he made it just in time)..so all i could do was slam on my brakes and turn the car into the 2 lanes i should be in and I locked up my tire and put the car almost sideways and I was so close to the honda that i couldn't see the ground under them.... my other friends who were about 300 yards behind us and said ...they couldn't see the road through all the smoke i left.....i drove home at 30 mph due to the case of the shakes and i had put such a huge flat spot on my tire...never race on the streets....bc i would have killed not only myself but the people in 2-3 other cars that night

I was driving down I-540 and I saw what looked to me like a piece of sheet metal lying on the road. I thought to myself. Ha its a piece of sheet metal and i'll just run it right over. Well upon 15 ft of running it over, It turned out to be a 25 ft long Steel ladder lying in the middle of the road. I was on the left lane and there was a car next to me on the right.
Unable to do anything I swerived to the left going into the grass I came to a stop and my car died, because I forgot to step on the clutch *not auto*, 5 secs later a huge semi Followed me and came into the grass too. I was scared as hell because it came in there to avoid the ladder and was closing in on me. All I could do was either run out of the car and jump away as the celi gets destroyed or stay in there and die. Luckly the Semi guy saw me and quickly jumped bac on to the road. I was so lucky. I just turn my car back on drove as far as I can on the grass to get away from that area.

So far my rim was scratched and the tire had a gash in it the size of a dime. I was so lucky I didn't ran the ladder over or get hit by the semi.

Damn these are some good storie's! Keep'em coming!

meeting a fully loaded gravel truck in a turn on a winding road. i came down into the tight right-hand turn from uphill with all four wheels on my side. he took the left-hander very wide with his driver's-side wheels on my side of the yellow line. truck on the left, 40m drop on the right, i thought we were going to bounce of each other. i held my breath and nudged the shoulder on my right with the tires complaining. everything seemed to happen in slo-mo even though we were travelling at around 80-90 kph head on. check out the link if you want an idea of the roads i was on.

back from the dead

I was driving right before prom back in may. I go up this hill into a turn and all i see in my lane is a tour bus coming straight for me. I was so scared so i just whipped the wheel to the right and skidded off the road. I ran over 3 plastic caution poles got out to see if the bus stopped but he just kept going no damage but scary as hell
