Guys you ain't gonna believe this. I'm comin back from Columbus from getting my "active handling" prompt and rear end chatter noise taken care of just headin home about 50 mi. from the state capitol, listenin to the Allman Bros. on cd, when out of the blue an oncoming p/u truck carrying a sh!tload of moving items(things), looses a boxspring from a bed set, decides it don't wanna ride in the pickup anylonger. This freekin thing misses me by inches @around 65 mph. I didn't think I could be so lucky. Wife said we should play the lottery tonight. Oh by the way Junior never did stop, hope he has to sleep on the floor for a long time.

Glad for your good luck. It's amazing the crap people pile in the back of a pick-up and don't bother to secure a damn thing.
