Default Almost ran off the road... I love this car.

Well I was passing someone in a "Crusing" manner... and not in a redlining fashion. I knew the lane ended, but I didn't know where... there weren't any reflecting arrows or ANYTHING! No white lines, nothing.

Thankfully, I saw the line of the road and quickly jolted to the other lane, squealing the S-02's.... I was going about 65 also. I gotta say if I were in a different car, say a civic, I woulda been toast!!! Yes, I love this car.

The problem with passing is sometimes being in the S makes you a little more daring because you know it's got it where it counts. So, I've consciously made a mental adjustment to only pass when it's ridiculously safe. I had a close call once myself and I don't want to ever pass under those conditions again. Luckily, there's not many areas around here other than the canyons where it's an issue anyway.
