I just got home from work--check this out------
Thismorning on my way to work at 4am--a main State Route--( 2 lanes)
I'm driving doing 55. A ways ahead, coming towards me, I see a set of healights. OK no biggie...until...it comes into MY LANE!!
I slow down and move over to the shoulder thinking "hope he gets over quick--I'm 1/2 way in a ditch!!"
NO DICE!! He comes STRAIGHT AT ME! I take 1/2 the ditch--HE"S AIMNG AT ME!!!!
I lock the brakes and start fishtailing and headed for a telephone pole--I nail the gas to pull out of the ditch-- HE'S
so fu****g close I hear him gun his motor!!
WTF!!! I start fishtailing across the road towards the other ditch! I lock 'em up again--now going 60---Go completely SIDEWAYS in what should be HIS lane---tires screaming for mercy as tire smoke completely engulfs the Celica!!
I come to a dead stop RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD! The Celica dies...there's absolutely NO NOISE except my heart beating from the bottom of my stomach!
I sat there watching him disappear, hearing him mash his gas!! WTF-- If I had my Sig... but that wouldn't solve anything.
(Except he'd never do it again)
The ol' Celica staretd right up. I couldn't get a license #--my a** was about to eat the seat!!

I thanked the GOOD LORD nothing else happened,and that no one else was on the road!!

So on my way home,I checked the scene--I was ALL OVER THE ROAD according to the tire marks!! Almost like a figure 8!!
If this were the Camaro, I don't know if I'd be here!!
I owe it all to the EXCELLENT HANDLING & RESPONSE OF THIS CELICA!!!!
I am now going to have a BIG Rum & Coke and a cigarette!!

Be defensive--watch out for the a**holes out there!!

Hanyo--
If I had an extra 45 mins to an hour I would have followed him to get his lic #.
I got to work with 10 mins to spare!

I thought about calling but with no info & no witnesses....

Thanks GriffGirl--
Yes this type of thing makes a person put things into perspective, then there are the " What IF "...
I would rather DEER run the road!! wink.gif

richee--
you're right too. It just doesn't make sense to do something else while driving. With all the fields around here, I scan for the road kill wanna be's.
SlvrCelica09--
Did that on the way to work, during the day, & b4 turning in for the eve!!
