Smile GRRRRHHHHHHHHH!

I am so because I saw my S2K's life flash before my eyes. I was in an outside turning lane today, when this guy in a pickup truck, in the other lane merged into my lane with me right next to him. He didn't even look to see if anyone was there. I had to swerve into the oncoming traffic lane to avoid being hit. Luckily for me, there wasn't anyone in that lane for a while. I wasn't even speeding around the turn. It's been pouring all week and the S isn't wet road friendly. He must've been .

Congrats on missing him. A U-haul truck T boned me and I couldn't get away.

This happens to me sometimes when I leave work. There is a double left that I have to take and lots of times when your in the outside lane people either don't look or look but can't see me and change lanes right into me. The only thing that saves me is that it's a double left onto a three lane road so I have a bail out lane.

I'm talking about Deerwood onto Southside for the Jax people.

Question

S2000 = Blind spot nightmare ( meaning we have large ones while driving with the top up AND we often are too low or small to register in other driver's blind spot)

Yes, we disappear in traffic! I was side swiped by an f250. Took out my rear quarter panel and bumper. You really have to watch out!

Question

I always run with my lights on because in the rain or on US 19 my car does not exist to other people. I have almost been James Dean'ed 3 times on the roads since I have my car

I always run with lights on in the rain. Even put on hazards in downpours. What is James Deaned?

Cool

A bad pun


Famous last words "He's got to see us"
He died in a silver convertible (Porsche Spyder) hauling ass on a desert road. He was creamed by another car that could not see him because his car was camoflauged/blended in with the scenery. Or something to that effect.
