I'm driving up 99 in Fresno this morning. As you all know, in California when a man has a flat tire the entire f**kin three lane highway must come to a dead stop to watch him change it. Anyways, we were slowing down when this old fart in front of me loses his RIDING LAWNMOWER out of the back of his beat ass pickup truck. Still traveling at 50mph+, I swerve that shit and end up in the middle lane, where I am greeted by about 60 feet of road before I plow the lady now in front of me. Well, the S was up to the challenge and I'll be damned if that thing did not stop with about three feet to spare. Some poor lady hit the lawnmower behind me.

Now I sit here at my desk with a new appreciation for what our cars can do with sh*tty circumstances. I never would have been able to pull off that quick maneuver with my old G6. Has the S ever saved your ass from someone elses stupidity?
