Took a criuse in the cuda and a close call!
« on: November 05, 2006 - 01:58:31 PM »
The wife went shopping for a while early this afternoon so it was a perfect chance to get maybe my last criuse this year.It was a chilly day in the 40`s but nice and sunny so I hit the back roads for about an hour or so and then on my way home coming around the corner towards me was a full size truck 3/4 into my lane.  :22yikes: Luckily there was enough time to swerve and even more lucky there was a nice wide paved shoulder on the inside of the corner so I never had to go off road.It wasn`t real close but any incident like that in the cuda is not fun.Otherwise it was a nice ride with the engine loving the nice dense cold air and the cuda is safely back in the garage.  :burnout:

That would not have been a nice way to end the cruising season!  :22yikes:  Nice reflexes!

I think I might have done some finger waving.   :swear:

Why is it always the other drivers that we have to watch out for. I am always on the defense when driving my car, so much that sometimes it just ain't no fun.

Whew!  I am so glad it all worked out alright.  That could have been a horrible outcome!

Took my 69 Camaro Convertible - top down of course in 60 degree weather on beautiful MS Gulf Coast - to go work on the chally & go run off the road by an AMBULANCE being careless just driving down road - then he pulled into a gas station. :scared:
