Near Death Experince

ok me and brandon (me612) were on our way back from the mitsu dealer. we were dropping off our friends evo for the 10,000 mile maintnance for it. well this time of year is when the old people come to our part of this great country and they think they own all of the road cause i guess they have been paying taxes longer or sumthin. any way we are come back from there in my talon tsi and this lady in a jeep charokee pulls out trying to make a u-turn. she has plenty of space and time to complete the turn without comeing in to the far lane that i was in and for a moment it looked like that is what she was going to do. so i keep on going at the same speed as i was but my speedometer is all wacked out and it doesnt read the right speed so i might have been doing anywhere between 35 and 55 the speed limit is 45 btw. well when i was about 100 feet from where she was turning she suddenly starts to come into my lane so i slamed on the brakes went into a skid and for a second i was parrallel with this lady that is in the middle of a u-turn i thought for sure we were about to be cheek to cheek with this lady. then at the last second all 4 tires grabbed and i shot into this turning lane to go into another car dealership. i pulled in to check my car out cause at the time i thought there was no way i missed hitting that car. as i get out i see her driving away like nothing out of the ordinary happened. well i check over my car and it looks like the only thing that happened was i might have scrapped my rims on the curb shooting in to the turning lane of the dealership. well ofcourse i was stricken with a itsy bitsy tiny bit of roadrage and i chased her down and gave her the international sign for "your #1" :fworld: but me and brandon are ok and most importantly so is the car. someone up there must like us i guess.

WOW that brings back memories.
I was driving down brooklyn blvd one day in brooklyn center. The light in front of me turned red and I was slowing to a stop, I look up and there is a Yukon just HAULIN, so instead of taking it up the..... in the stealth I decided to get out of the way, ended up shooting for and missing an amoco parking lot, curbing the car 1/2 into the grass, and the Yukon Just misses my car.
Glad you are okay, there can be some really dumb people out there, be careful!

OMFG, ok now about maybe 4 hours after this just happened to us, we went to go pick up the evo. so we get it, and we're driving back. well we miss a light that is a REEEEALLY long light, so Chris (tsi dwarf) hops outta his car and pretends to car-jack me. Well if u didn't know already we are both in the Marines. And so i guess some jackass Lt. Colnel saw it happen and calls ahead to the front gate of our base, so we get stopped at the gate, they take our ID's, tell us to pull to the side, then the military police guy asked Chris what happened, Chris told him, the officer just laughed, and said that he didn't care, he just kinda had to make it look like he cared because it was a Lt. Colonel who called in and so he had to just make it look like he cared, so then they let us go. God what the hell is wrong with this city

A//// Guy · 11-12-2003

What city is that?? Are you in MN or not... I wasnt sure. How did the guy see you and know it was you??

**Halon** · 11-12-2003

im from MN, and will be going back there once i get outta the marines. But right now im stationed in Yuma, AZ. the guy in the truck new it was us cuz he saw chris jump outta his car and pretend to jack me, and he followed chris all the way to base, and told the gate guard on him
