Close Calls

So me and my folks are in Texas right now buying a new house. on the way back to the hotel it was freaking hurricaning on the highway, we could not see a damn thing. We were doing about 50 in the middle lane but slowing down fast as it got worse. I saw a 4 banger access cab Tacoma pass us on the left lane. then going down a little hill after an overpass there was standing water, and the tacoma going 65+ hit the water then turned right sharply spun out went infront of a mazda and a ford nearly smashing them then he did a 360 on the shoulder then went down into an imbankment then spun around again and then stopped having his head lights facing across the highway, thank God he didnt flip. My dad hit the brakes and avoided an accident. That freaked me out on how quick and crazy it was and got me to think, WHO ELSE HAS HAD A CLOSE CALL LIKE THAT?

 

sketch once i was driving down I-5 and a 18 wheelwer truck tire blew out right in front of us and the tire flew off and it almost hit us it went right over our bmw

 

Almost hitting Colin's truck....

 

ooooohhhhhhh man that was horrible, i think that was one of the times i can really say that i really almost pissed myself no joke

 

I was driving in a heavy Iowa snow storm a couple years ago. I got caught up in the drift on the shoulder and when I tried to get back in the cleared out rut from traffic I ended up doing a complete 180 at about 35 mph. There were cars in front, behind and to the side of me. I then proceeded to spin out down an embankment - had zero control.

My car was turned sideways going down the embankment and somehow, someway my car turned in the right direction and proceeded back up the embankment on the shoulder.

It all happened withing 5 or so seconds and I have no idea how I came out of it without a scrape.

 

LMAO!

I got another.... almost rolling my truck... Too sharp of a turn on a back road. I believe i was in tripod mode

 

That musta scared you shitless, i swear that Tacoma was gonna flip had it hit the embankment any faster and if it was steeper.

 

hahaha damn

 

oh that was a close call too....
i thought the damage woulda been a lot worse.. i was drifting in the parking lot at this large off road trail down here i was going like 20 and i ran into a tree a fence and some brush...
scared the crap outta me... only like $300 in damage though

 

what was the damage?

 

Dude... I was less than 5 minutes from home. I turned right around went home.
Lets just say it was a memorable experience.

I've had a few people run red lights and almost nail me. They get a taste of my train horn now when it happens. I almost enjoy it because of how bad it scares them lol.

 

hahahahahah nice

 

the valance area on the front bumper had a hole in about 3" in diameter and thats it and the guy that fixed it for 300 and painted it black!
so it looks better now...

but since my crash my parents said i could off road anymore... thats kind of a bummer

 

Oh then I went trailing right after it rained (different time Colin) and I was having fun doing donuts in the mud... truck kindof got away from me and was headed straight for a 5 foot deep ditch. ABS was on my side that day. I was half a foot away from not having a pretty truck.

 

dang being young and having a fun truck.... i definatley have learned my lesson...

im 18 though haha i still have a long life ahed of me

 

Kids

Lol, Jk. Good thing you didn't go in that ditch.

 

The thing I rarely do anymore

No. It was stupid. I was trying to be a hero... Almost costed me my truck or life

 

....offroading? with a PreRunner
