Well...I may not be Dale Earnhardt...
...but I can do a damn good impression in a pinch.
No more than 45min ago, I got run off the highway by an 18-wheeler. I was passing him at about 75, and he decides to pass the truck in front of him. I had nowhere to go except into the grass. So there I was, in the grass, on about a 45 degree hill, doing about 75. I tried to let off and stop, out of fear I was going to hit something I couldn't see in the tall grass, but every time I let off, the rear end started to come around. So, I held it for about 200yds or so, until I could get back onto the road. Then I caught back up to him and called him into the Staties. I just thank the heavens for AWD. But now I need to have it checked out professionally to make sure the SVX is okay. The ride was rather bumpy. "The whole F'in world's against me dude, I swear!"

Glad you're ok.
Wow, Sounds like a real pants stainer! Glad you're ok. How did the staties respond to your call? Interested? Unresponsive? I'd love to know if they did anything about it. Good thing you are able to drive defensively when needed.

Update
Well, I just heard back from my wife. She talked to the trooper, and he just got the report within the last few minutes. So that means, with the time past, the trucker could be almost anywhere in the state. He also said that because the truck never actually touched me, it would be considered a single vehicle accident, and I'll have to pay for any damages to the car. I guess I should have just let him hit me.
But, I guess the trooper wants to talk to me, and is still going to find out who the trucker is. Like I said, hopefully he at least gets slapped with wreckless driving.

I think you should check your car for "damage". Actually I'm sure your alignment will be off.
