Default WoW!

I was going down 240 top down today and suddenly a lady slams on her brakes in front of me and luckily with the S's WICKED turning it saved my life as we came to a halt within an inch of hitting her at 80 miles per hour literally, and inch i probably would have died if i was in any of my previous vehicles

Glad there wasn't a wreck.

Folks have gotten in the habit of driving "Dallas style" and follow way to closely which leaves very little time to react and avoid issues. I drive a 5500lb truck and can't turn, or stop as quickly as an S so I keep my distance...

Remember the rule of thumb, a MINIMUM of 10 feet for every 10mph, makes it at least 6 or more car lengths at 60-70 mph, most cars run 2-3 at that speed...
