I almost got broadsided today!
It was my fault. I was sitting at a stop sign, a truck just passed and I didn't check to the right (the truck was blocking the road). Darted across only to see a Civic heading right at me. He turned just in time and looked like he wanted to kick my .... I appologized but was driving very slow the rest of the day.

Re: I almost got broadsided today! (HG)
I almost did too. Not my fault though.
It was on the freeway at a bottle neck. 3 lanes go to 2 lanes.
This dumb bitch rides all the way up the lane that is going to close and thinks I need to move over. She wasn't slowing down and was right next to me. She starts coming over into me. I couldn't move right, another car in that lane. She some how didn't hit me and got in back. My budy also in his vette behind me and said it was about 6 inches between my car and her car when she came over.
I guess she couldn't see the red corvette! :smash:

I raced a Z at the Cruise-In III that pulled a 17 something. I smoked him haaard in the lowly L98. He was probably running on 4 cylinders in valet mode. :lol:

Re: I almost got broadsided today! (stormy652)
Yea, I agree. They really aren't that fast.
I should be going back to the track this weekend and I am hoping for low 17s. I have drag radials and it should be cooler out too. 70 degrees or so.
I will be thrilled with a 17.000
