[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

Oh, once while driving my oh-so-reliable 91 Eclipse, lol, my alternator started to die. It was about 1100PM in the middle of a blizzard and I was coming home from work. I had to turn off my radio, heat and had to keep turning my headlights off so it wouldnt die. About halfway home, I flipped on my lights for a second to see the road ahead of me when I spotted a downed tree about 20 feet in front of me! Luckily i managed to avoid it and make it home in one piece, but it definitely scared the beejeesus out of me
