I was nearly killed yesterday.

yesterday i was coming down this road (macon) here in memphis doing about 65-70. i think the speed limit is about 45-50 so i was speeding but the road is three lanes wide. there was an acura integra to my right just behind me and to my left was a jetta a little further behind. up ahead i could see a shi$$y toyota tercel about to pull out of an apartment complex. he pulled out halfway into the lane to my right with all three of us coming so there is no way he could have made it across. but instead of backing up he decided to go for it. the acura slammed on the brakes and locked up his car and the jetta was far enough back that he just hit his brakes and he was out of dodge. but as for me there was trouble because it was too late to try and brake and i could not dodge to the right because the acura was too close. my only option was to nail the gas shoot to the left in front of the jetta and go around the stupid tercel as he was coming out across the street. but in order to do that i was going to have to go on the other side of the road into oncoming traffic. i noticed a red firebird coming but he was in the far lane which left the near lane open. so in a split second i punched the car, cut hard to the left and then quickly back the the right. i missed the tercel by a foot or two if that. the car performed beautifully! but trust me i did not think about that until i was home. i was less than 24 inches from having my car totalled! had not reacted so quickly and if the car had not performed so beautifully i would probably be in the hospital today. i cannot comment enough about how well my suspension performed. by the time i got back on the right side of the street and out of oncoming traffic i was doing almost 90mph. this is an amazing car and sometimes it even shocks me with what it can do. i just thought i would share my hair raising experience from yesterday. good god did it scare me!
