Re: Crazy close calls?

About 2 years ago I was driving to the Chinese Buffet for lunch. It was me and my co-worker in the Talon. I turned onto Hwy 96 and was driving normally. My co-worker wanted to see what the car had so he told me to gun it, so of course I did. Got up to speed real quick, then had to slow down quick because the buffet is pretty close. I hit the brakes fairly hard but my car has a horrible allignment. The car starts sliding, pointing towards the curb, I turn left, the car grabs and whips back and does a 180 right in the middle of Hwy 96. The car died as it was still in gear, and I had gone slightly past our turn. So, we're looking at the oncommoning traffic slowing down, just started it right up and drive the wrong way into the parking lot. That got our blood pumping pretty good!
