RX-8 and accident avoidance
Traveling down a 4-lane at 85 mph and some idiot pulls out from my right and stops!...in my lane 
! I put the 8 into a controlled slide to gain a second (and bleed off some speed), dart just in front of the vehicle and continue through the median and back on the road. My 8 did exactly what I wanted it to do...I don't think I could have avoided the accident in many other cars. Probably some teenager out for a drive. I wonder if I broadsided them at 70-75mph if it would have been my fault?

Pretty good story.
This one time I was in a 4G inverted dive with a MiG-28 at a range of about two meters. I started up on his six, when he pulled through the clouds, and then I moved in above him. It was a sweet move.

Nice moves - you might want to check out this contest Castrol is sponsoring - the prize is a trip to Japan to learn how to skid your car around like a Movie called Drift - I think it might have some slip-slidding Mazda's in it... Someone posted the web site earlier today!

The last time I nearly crashed a guardrail, the DSC activates but not enough to recover the skid, that's when I yell "transform" and "god on", a rotary machine gun appears in my hand and I blasted the guardrail into smitherins...
