my worst was in my thunderbird. I was 16 and invincable.

I was going to mcdonalds for lunch with some friends and I had my course layed out, nowhere for cops to sit, always a good place to speed like hell. so I used to go about 75-80on the lil 35MPH road.

well. I was on my route that is almost never traveled. but comming up fast was an old pickup with a trailer..... so being the drinving God I thought I was I just decided to pass him. I'm all happy and watching the road.... just not what is ON the road.... Chris was next to me and said "dog" it didnt click till he yelled "DOG" at me, some old *** yellow dog was crossing the street. so I ripped the wheel to miss it, just barely missed the pickup. only problem is that my back right tire went off the road and caught the gravel. back end came around and I yenked the wheel to correct. knowing I had a pickup comming at me if I stopped, and I would stall if I did a 180 I dropped the car into neutral and tried to regain control.

I did end up getting control going backwards looking at the fragrently swearing pickup driver. riping the wheel hard to swing myself around again, I put it back into gear and hit the gar HARD. correcting back to going forward the power bit the wheels and pushed me in front of the pickuo who just so VERY lightly tapped my bumper as the car accellerated.

never a day in my life had I passed up lunch till then.
