Z28 Losses Control and Wrecks infront of me!

Today (Friday) on my way to work, I wittnessed first hand how dangerous the combination of Powerfull car and Moron driver can be.

I was driving to work, minding my own bussiness, enjoying the unexpected warm weather, with my windows down and my oldies CD spinning in the player. I was excited, Saturday is just a day away, and Saturday, I get to see Marya again.

Traffic was heavy, its Military Pay Day. Traffic is always heavy on Pay Day Fridays. Cars stacked up at one of the bussiest intersections here in town. Morganton and Skibo (Near our mall). I tucked in behind what looked like a brand spankin new White LS-1 Z28.

I noticed the guy is looking at my car in her rear view, instinctively, I turn off the Radio. Sure enough, I wasnt disapointed. I heard a Rev, and watched his car torque. Under his watch, I make a yawning gesture and give him the brush off wave. Another time he revs, I shake my head no. Not at this time of day, in this traffic, at this intersection. NO WAY. I learned my lesson two Tuesdays ago, not to even consider it.

Then, I distant rumbling can be heard, more like felt. Over the buzz of near by Stereos booming, I heard a low frequency that didnt quite fit in with the rythm, then I felt it. I looked in my rear view and saw a 2nd Gen Camaro behind me. Sounded pretty healthy. I wasnt really intimidated, but it did sound pretty nice.

"Man, why couldnt this be a Saturday night." I thought outloud. I thought of the potential fun there was to be had in this situation.

The light turns green. The White new Camaro Z28 slowly pulls out, no hard acceleration, no nothing. No big deal, I wasnt going to race anyway. The lane opens to my right, so I get over in it.

Not driving aggressively, or fast, I slowly neander by the white LS-1. The 2nd Gen Camaro stayed behind the LS-1. White Z28 to my left, in the straight lane, me in the center straight lane, and then a 80's Blazer pulls out uphead and occupies the Right straight lane.

Just as I pass the Z28 (WHite LS-1) I hear him floor it. I gather he was holding it in first. He shoots past me, and cuts the car hard infront of me, cutting me off.

Well, this is where things get intersting. Still accelerating rapidly, he obviously over shoots into the other lane, and rather than put the brakes on to avoid the Blazer, he whips the car back to the left, still under full throttle. He looses control! My mind thought, This can not be happening right in front of me.

I let off the throttle completely and begin slowing down because I knew what was going to happen. The guy slides sideways across two other lanes, just avoiding hitting cars sitting in the turning lane. Still under the gas, he tries to correct it, and goes flying back to the right............And under great speed, Slams sides with the Blazer. He hits the Blazer so hard, both cars lift off the ground a few inches, and the blazer gets shoved into the curb. Of course the energy from the impact deflects the Camaro back into the left lanes where he does a 360.

Tire Marks every where. I watched as mirrors and bumpers fell off, Hell, I had to dodge them. I glance over at the Lady driving the Blazer (At least it looked like a Lady), she was alive. I looked over at the Z28 dude and he had this dumb look on his face, but he was alive, so with a split seconds judgement, I kept on trucking. I will tell you all why.

Shortly afterwards, the Rumpity 2nd Gen Z28 pulls up beside me. I look over at him and yell over.

"Hey, werent that some S##T. What a Moron."

"Man, We just ran from the scene of an accident. Thats illegal." He says back with this blank look.

"No we didnt. I wasnt directly involved in the accident, you werent involved in it. We wittnessed it, but werent part of it. Thats not running from the scene of an Accident. Anyways man, what do you think the Cop would think when he see's a wrecked LS-1 Z28, a Bright Red modified loud New GT, and a Rumpity Old Camaro????" I yell back.

He looks at me and says "Good point man, Good thinkin."

"Hey, Do you know what happens when your racing on the street and you wreck into someone? You can get charged with ManSlaughter Dude. I'm not going to take the chance of gettin Falsely charged." I then wave, beep and drive off. Of course the whole time I was afraid peopel might be following me taking my plate number down because they may of thought I was involved.

I half way expected to get a phone call from the City Police while at work, or have the City Police come to my work.
