Scary Driving experiences!, NO STREET RACING PLEASE!!!!! Options

[goferris]

Ok i just thougt that i would start a post to see some things that have happened to others on the site.

doesn't have to have been in the celi. basically what i am looking for are stories of where the car and driver shoulda been hurt a lot more than they really were but due to extreme luck very little to no damage at all was done.

Ok
heres mine.
this was when i still had my 97 ST Limited. i was driving to my parents house for a sunday night dinner. i had just got on the freeway. i was going about 75 when all the sudden there was a tire tread in the middle of my lane. i didn't see it til i was about 20 yards away from it. i swerved to miss, over corrected then over corrected again, did a 360 on the freeway and landed on the side of the road. heres the lucky part. not a scratch on my car. it was in traffic too.
where i slid off the freeway was level where most everywhere else drops 20 feet or so, there werent any signs or posts or anything. i must say that is the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.

what inspired me to start this was i just read someones story about how the lost control of their car but the only damage was a screwed up rim.

PLEASE POST GUYS! Interestered to hear your stories.
Thanks

i have a million stories...i prolly should even be here right now....where do i start..lol..ok ill go in order

i had a 86 honda accord hatch 5 speed....girl really pissed me off one night so i was drivin home thinkin about all the bullS#I^ and it had just rained so the ground was wet...i was close to my house but i was on like this 2 lane winding road...for some reason i was like fcuk this siht and pulled the e-brake doin like 55 around a turn...got it sideways...oversteered so it swung really far back the other way so i was almost verticle...went through a red light/intersection sideways and i was facin people at the bus stop as im sliddin through the intersection, then i cut the wheel real hard again and finally i straighted it out but i almost missed the curb...i couldnt believe it caus it happened so fast

ok im on the turnpike and im on my way to my dads house...im in my 87 camaro v8...im rollin at like 75-80mph and im commin up on this u-haul van thats goin way to slow..so i give it a litte bit of gas and start to go around him...car just completely shuts off...now im doin like 85 mph..have no power steering caus the cars off and the brakes are gettin harder because of the vacume...so i had to cut the u-haul van off and i cut the steering wheel as hard as i can so i can get over into the shoulder...im standin on the brake peddal to try and get this big hunk of crap to slow down a little and as im on the shoulder theres an over pass commin commin up and it cuts the shoulder off again..im like fuuuuucckkkk this..cut the u-haul van back out so i can get a little back into the lane so i dont hit the side of the overpass an then i get back onto the shoulder...luckily there was a rest stop commin up n there was no one in there so i pulled the hand brake...stood on the brake and finally got her to stop...that time wasnt too much fun considering the whole time i thgouht i blew my engine caus my oil press. dropped and i was thinkin about what im gonna do about another engine and how to stop the car at the same time

Last im in the celica commin home from my dads..it was like a cold winter day..no snow or anything just a little cold out..drivin on this other major road called 222...2 lane highway...messin around with my head unit and a not lookin where i was goin...i driffted onto the shoulder which is like gravel and a little bit of ice on the side of the raod and theres no warning grooves to let you know..i look up and im like shhhhhhiitt, cut the steering wheel like your not supposed to and the whole as$ end kicks out..now im like facin the gard rail on the other side with a semi commin up on my...rip the steering wheel back the other way and luckily the back tires grabbed and through back the right way so i could straighten it out...that one was quite scary too but those are just a couple of the storys i've had....not fun encounters
