Default Almost

I just get back from 350 miles to Ashville and 350 miles back. I am 10 miles from home on the outskirts of town just as happy as I can be. It was my first long trip on the sidecar and it seems I had made it okay. Out of no where this ^&#))$* car shoots out of no where across the line of trafficfrom my right side. He couldn't of seen me as the lady in the lane to my right was slightly ahead of me. She slammed on the breaks. Me? I caught him out of the corner of my eye and just managed to lean and turn hard right while shutting down the clutch/front/rear brake. we passed each other side by side across traffic by about 1/2 and inch!!! Luckily that lady to my right had slammed on her brakes as it allowed me that manuever. It was my only out. Azzhole kept going and I was stunned out of my rejoicing for my recent long trip. I go 700+ miles, up and down scary mountains with the sidecar begging to toss but I get home and 10 miles from my door step this jack off? He was flying. Had we hit, it would have been real hard.

He was a illegalimmigrent mexican in a **** car. Welcome to North Carolina.

So did you ask to see his green card or is that just an assinine assumption?

Glad you're alright though.

Glad you're OK.

Most illegals drive modestly because they *don't* want to risk getting pulled over. But you Border Patrol guys in NC probably have it figured out.

Good story....'til the end with the whole predjudice bit. I guess while you were shitting your pants pulling your escape maneuver, you had time to look into the car, check his ID and whatnot as he sped away.

I know you were pissed, but c'mon...

90% of most accidents happen within very short miles of your home, I think I read that in some statistics report years ago...

Anyhow maybe he was still hung up from his "Cinco de Mayo" celebration!!!!!!
Are you sure he was not a trailer trash tanned dudein a shitty car?[8D]

Glad to read that you did not get hurt!!!!!!
