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

riding shotgun drifting at Shannonville Motorsports park, SC400, 240 infront of us that had his diff blow up, big oil spill, SC going about 70km/h mid drift, hit the oil patch, start spinning, my buddy Arty tried counter steering, and then we hit the ditch. The track is about 5 or 6 feet above the bottom of the ditches. Landed in the ditch sideways, rolled over onto the roof. The rear 1/4 got crushed in, roof and rear left C pillar completely crushed, the roof above me crushed in, not completely, roof line came about half an inch from my head, and the helmet i was wearing wasnt FIA or DOT approved. Found out the helmet wasnt safe after i got out of the car and had the safety guys check us out. Thank god for Sabelt 4 points..lol
