**another near miss**
i need 2 vent a little...i'd just cranked up the engine and was about 2 exit a parking lot after using an atm...i'm the only car in the lot.(there are @ least 10 empty spaces on either side of me)..all of a sudden,here comes mr. speed racer/DAMF out of no where...some guy in a pick up truck is coming right @ me.. 
.i dont know if he over steered or just lost control of the steering wheel.. he's try'g 2 swing into the parking spot right next 2 me..it was a wide swing..he missed my car by inches... 
..i just sat there 4 a minute and put "the look" on him...he had that "i almost f'd up" look on his face...i'm thinkin "yeah,if u would have hit my car because of your stupidity....." i vented,i'm done

Whew! Glad he missed you. Imagine how you would have felt had he hit your baby.

Anyone here ever see "Final Destination"? You better figure out "the plan" PDQ ... especially if we're gonna do the oil change at my house this weekend ... on second though maybe someone else will crawl under the car .. I wonder what Marcus (CircusVargas1) is going to be doing that day?
How much is it for a REALLY big roll of bubble wrap?
:
BTW, if stuff like that happens when we all roll out ...
on the looks ... that way they know something bad is about to happen. Don't give them a warning. 
Just glad things are okay.

So are you Irish? You seem to have lucked out here. Some idiot doing exhibition driving (say did he have a Hemi in that thing?) Just proves that if stupidity were an energy source we'd never worry about the price of gas.
