Red face I have more repect now....

so, on my way to work, there is this u-turn that I make every morning....a nice wide U-turn, and usually, I'll play and do a little power-over slide. Lots of fun, but goes nice and easy.

This morning though, some chick figured she'd cut under me while I was making the turn. all of a sudden, there she was. I was so sideways that I could see her face through the front windshield. I whipped back to keep my car from hitting her. I jerked the wheel nice and quick, but too quick. The car whipped right around, and all of a sudden, I'm facing on-coming traffic. I kicked it in reverse, whipped it around, and continued my journey to the office.

I know the chick was shaking in her pants. me....a little bit of jitters, but I'm okay. Thank god NO DAMAGE to my car. Anyways...I now have more respect for this beast, and I have this feeling that I will be doing alot of doughnuts in Ocala....

Yeah, I don't think you chose the best place and time to realize this.

and on 66th street.

and on race track road.

street drifting is gay
Had I not been "playing around", I probably WOULD have hit her. While I was making the U-turn into the left lane, she came along side me and tried to make a uturn into the same lane. 2 cars, 1 lane=trouble. She was totally at fault.
