Driving down the highway southbound this morning and in the northbound lane a rock truck loses his rear axle which bounces over the center median and come within inches of hitting me in the 914 and just misses a cayenne turbo that was next to me. Holy shit! Thank god for my little car's ablility to swerve hard at high speeds, otherwise you would be reading my obituary.

Two hours after the "incident" I was heading back the other direction and was caught in the traffic jam from the same truck. The axle apparently broke off of the tractor. I hear it made the news. If my diesel truck would not have been in the shop and I would have been driving it, that would have been bad. The assembly would have definately hit me.
