Taking a left hand turn in my 3 week old 95 GSX. Headlights come sailing at me, BAM. An OFF DUTY COP ran a red and hit me at about 45-50mph. That was the end of my 1st DSM. Scary, really fucking scary!

1994 Dodge Caravan LE 3.8L V6, It had balls, Faster than probes, grand ams, etc We were like 17.

2 AM Long road that (Mosher) outlines SW Owatonna, We decide to topout the minivan, in town. We hit 90 mph at the spot we realize its about a 40 degree turn, which isnt easy to negotiate in a minivan at 90, I slam the brakes and let off not wanting to lock them up, we full extreme drift around the corner, much to the amazement of some drunk kids outside from a nearby party. It was fuckin scary, but no damage.



330 AM For some stupid reason, we go driving through alleys. We drove through this one and my friend just tells me to floor it, Im game why not.

Explanation: This alley slowing goes up with a sharp up hill at the end. The alleys come out on a steep street that goes downhill from left to right as you look out the alley. Across the street is a huge brick retaining wall. I continue

We are goin 55 in an alley, felony speed. At the end of the alley you have to move to the right side because of a wide garage, right before that a dog walks out on the right side. I swerve left swerve right, no time to brake I slam the brakes, the brakes lock as we leave the pavement sliding. SLOW MOTION, we are slowly turning to the right (down the hill) while in midair. We both look to the right to see the diesel duallie coming up the hill, no more than three feet from us. We land leaving huge black marks, we landed half on the sidewalk, about 4 feet from the wall. We haulass, the long way to my house to make sure no one followed us, and didnt drive the van for a week. My friend still says its the scariest thing that ever happened.

First one, losing control in my sisters MX-3 with 175 tires on it on the hwy, going 70 mph on 694 cause a old bitch was going to sideswipe me with my little nephew in the car so I accidentally turn the wheel with skinny tires too much.

Second one:
Going around that one sharp curve at opus too fast, losing control, slidign sideways with a person in my car, flying over the curb and luckily using the brakes to stop and straighten her out.

Scariest moment was when I almost lost to a 3g on the freeway. One of my sparkplugs was screwed up so it would misfire horribly over 5000 RPMs. I was still able to take it down with three cylinders but it was close! :razz2:

Probably when I lost control at Opus after my potato chips locked up. For those of you who know the course, I was well into 4th gear before I got on the brakes (very stupid, I waited way to long). I avoided all hard things and went into the grass rather violently. Nothing broke so I was happy. Wonder if those black marks are gone yet....

My 3 scariest moments have been on my motorcycle. The worst was when I was being followed by my buddy and 3 hot chicks in his Honda Passport. There were these railroad tracks a little before his apartment. I had started screwing around on them the last 50 times or so that I had went to his place.

I would hit the gas on the bike and light the rear tire up while on the railroad tracks (plastic stuff in between the tracks) then on the other side the tire would grab and pull me up into a wheelie. It was sweet! I had pulled it off great the last 25+ times. With the chicks back there I hit the gas a bit too much and ended up going into a huge wheelie. I was so far over that I scraped the bottom of my license plate on the ground. This is a relocated license plate, so basically my tail light was scraping the ground! Luckily there was a hill on the other side of the tracks, hitting the hill gave my rear tire a bit of traction and got the front end back down. I was WAY past vertical.

My buddy had locked up his brakes because he thought I was going to crash, but I brought it down fine. I racked my nuts harder than hell though!! They all thought it was awesome as hell.

A few scary times for me:
When I was 16, I was heading to the ACT's and hit loose gravel at the end of my driveway. I was going about 50 and started to fish-tail, I managed to straighten my car out but I still was going too fast to take the turn that was about 2 yards away. I tried anyways and can still see my car going in the ditch in slow motion: Ditch, grass, grass, sky, tree, Side of the ditch again. I landed on my wheels thank God. Very scary.
Another time I was hit on the passanger side by some jerk without any lights on. I was making a turn when I looked back and saw him fly over the top of a little hill. He slammed into me on the passanger side. Then had the nerve to tell his mom that I hit him. We didn't call the cops because I was being nice and trying not to get him to loose his license. I had to pay for everything on my car because of that!
The last time was scary but fun. I was in a my friends car and he was racing another guy that we knew along a pretty curvey road into Decorah, IA. We got to a stop sign and after we stopped, we started to race again. There was a 30 MPH curve coming up and we took it on two wheels. I'm glad that he is the best driver that I know, because I don't think anyone else could have made that turn without getting in an accident.
