So a Turbo RSX almost killed me tonight.
Ok guys, this has to be the craziest thing I have ever experienced. Me and two other friends were out riding on our motorcycles tonight to a female friend of mine's house. We were trying to make good time on the late night highways by crusing at 120-140. Our trip was 50 miles and it was 45 degrees out. On the bike, it kinda sucks lol. I've been back for an hour now and I'm still cold.
Anyway. We are proceeding through a toll booth when we pass 3 or 4 cars, one being the Turbo RSX. I'm on a dot approved race compound called the power race (similar to Advan A048s for the s2000) so in cold weather they aren't too friendly. I let my friends take the turn at about 130 while I back off a bit to 120. This makes my friends have a 2-3 car gap on me going into the turn.
About this time the turbo RSX comes flying by in front of me going 140 into the turn. As soon as I saw how fast he entered the turn, I backed off of it.. he entered WAY too hot in an attempt to catch up to us. I watched in disbelief as he began to lose control of the car 20ft in front of me. We are both going about 100 at this point as he is sliding sideways and then he slams into the wall followed by a cloud of debris and the car disappears. Here come pieces of headlights and big bumpers that I'm frantically trying to dodge all over the highway so I don't wreck. The car flipped a few times and finally came to a stop.
I slammed on my brakes in front and pulled to the side of the highway in front of the car. I threw down the kickstand, turned off my music and prepared myself for what I was about to see. I ran to the car screaming "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!?!" and I finally get a weak, "Yeah, I'm fine." He only had a few scratches...
He and I were both REALLY lucky.
Heres the pic.
