Default Poor SRT-4

So I was cruising around the Oakland Hills in my friends 350Z. She STILL can't drive stick very good and I left my neck-brace at home so she let me drive... but that's another story...

So I'm cruising around looking for an old friends place when I spot this...


I'm like POOR thing!!! so after my second or third pass (I was still trying to find my old friends place), I see a guy poking around the car so decide to pull up.

Me: Hey... was that a SRT-4?
Guy: Yeah....
Me: What happened?
Guy: Well I was doing about 90 down 13 and there was this guy half in the right lane and half on the shoulder. The guy had his door open and was trying to wave me down. I swerved, and lost control.
Me: Oh.. that sucks, is it a total loss?
Guy: Yeah.. it's ok though.. I'll prolly get an EVO or an STi.
Me: Oh... cool.. take care.




That poor poor car..... My only encounters with them have been while they have been parked... and this by far the worse.



Maybe I should have told him to invest in driving school first.

Not much of an excuse given that he only had to move over half a lane, and never made contact with anything other than what I'm assuming was the center gaurd rail.

Add to the fact that sometimes there are deer crossing, if that guy didn't handle that situation correctly, I'm afraid he really had no business going that fast.

I'm just glad that he didn't tell me that he didn't mix it up with someone else too.

Worst part is he is planning on getting an STI or EVO... probably to do something stupid like this and destroy a great car, or who knows maybe hurt somebody. People like this souldn't be allowed to drive.
