Default Totally almost S'd myself today.

So I was on my way to meet up with my old assistant manager to get some mongolian food (mmmmm) and on my way there i seriously came as physically close as possible to getting in an accident as possible, some idiot in a crappy 90s impala pulled out no more than 2 car lengths in front of me on a 55mph road, i literally came with in inches of smashing into him, luckily vidja games gave me awesome reaction time and i swerved outa the way, thats enough adrinaline for the day

dont know i hauled *** past cause there was just enough room between me and the car in my blind spot that if i stomped the gas and the wheels hooked up and didnt spin id shoot right between them and i just kept on the gas, plus that lane was ending so the guy that pulled infront of me prolly merged into them without looking, this all took place over a matter of fractions of a second, im still winding down, i woulda cried about my truck or killed the idiot in the impala if i hit him

you never know, your bumper guard may have just plowed through the rusted body of the impala. and no damage to you.

This is why I always wished I kept my 85 power ram alone it was a tank with front and rear steel tube bumpers. When I first got my license it was winter hit a ice patch and hit a tree doing like 30 never put a dent in the tubes. Out of all the people that have pulled out in front of me I wish I would of had that truck cause I just wanted to slam them

She wasnt pretty but it didnt matter if it got scratched or anything I could kick myself in the *** for getting rid of it.

have you seen what holds a bumper guard on? like the chepos that the flashy chevy, GMC, Ford, and Dodge guys have? theres only two plates that bolt to the front bumper/support crossmember....

example: of a Trailblazer

We had that happenin a parking lot. Approaching a T in the parking lot, we're going straight, and some idiot just flies from the left and cuts us off. Dad blew the horn for a solid 5 seconds, the guy flew a bird out the window and sped onto the service road.

Some people.
