Thumbs up Clean living pays off for Merc!

Merc:

Whoa! Scary situation seeing a 'potential' challenger wipe out big-time right in front of you!

I've seen it too, but not for quite awhile.
Some guys just don't get it and think they can control any driving situation, but under acceleration in a powerful machine, things happen way too fast. One mistake in judgement and it can be over, as it was for the Camaro guy who ended up sitting there with a wrecked car, tickets and insurance problems to come, saying:"It all happened so fast"!

No kidding, Bozo. What do they think will happen when you floor a high-performance V-8 musclecar - in traffic?

Yeah, I've done it too but I stopped a long time ago after a few 'close ones' that woke me up to the danger of 'playing' on crowded roads and in congested areas.

Glad you weren't suckered into this mess (by default) and got away O.K., as you really weren't culpable. Good object lesson for all of us - if we still need one.
