DFW Hot August Cruise - 8/7/10
#93
Lol yeah, some of us literally did have a near death experience today! Surprised Brandon isn't actually giving me crap about it hehe.
So the story is I was right behind Scott and we were both pushing the cars really hard on this one turn. Scott hit's a dip in the road and tells me later he's like, "crap, we're going to fast on this road to be hitting this bump." Well I hit the dip, (initially I thought it was a reflector cuse I'm hugging the crap of the yellow lines at this point) and literally a split second later the entire right side of my car is in gravel and I am kickin up a dust cloud something fierce. It's hard to explain but it happened so fast I don't think I really had time to process how the hell my car got off the road. Well of course Scott sees this in his rear view and is like, "**** he's gonna end up in a pole, or a sign, or the field" and starts to freak out alittle. Meanwhile, Joe is behind me, and apparently he thinks’ I'm a gonner at this point. Luckily, I managed to get the car back on the road without losing or wiping out at speed. What's funny about the whole situation is that during this whole event, I had a new buddy with me to show him what we were all about, and he's like meh, I had confidence in your driving ability, while Scott and Joe both thought I was gonna die after driving with them for like the last two years.
Anyway, wouldn’t be a cruise without something crazy happening
