I drive the Interstate in the morning since I leave after 9am, but in the evening it seems like the backway and through Tampa is the faster way. Most of the time the worst thing is playing Busch Blvd Frogger where the low-lifes don't know what a Crosswalk is.
But this evening is different! I drive my Ford150 Harley Davidson daily and on the way home this Douch-Nozzle pulled out into a 4 lane Road in front of me! I was in the range of the Speed Limit which was 50. I bought my Truck 2 Months ago with 21,000 Miles and there was a Brake Line Problem (after I tested a bunch of Stuff) I replaced Calipers, Rotors, Pads & Lines. They were put to the test tonight when I went Full On ABS to stop 4 Inches from this guy's door & noggin! He just Waved & left! I kinda saw the guy out 100 degrees a few seconds before. I would never have seen him in a 914 and I don't think a 914 would have stopped without skidding like the ABS did! Be Careful out there! |

QUOTE(carr914 @ Nov 5 2014, 04:29 PM) I was driving my Harley Truck - I would have splattered the little fuch! Kind of a combination of several replies... I was riding my Harley when I was hit broadside by a flatbed truck that ran a stop sign at a blind intersection. It was four years ago this month. I was well and truly farked up but thanks to the excellent care of the first responders and the subsequent medical professionals, and to God above, I managed to eventually recover. Not that it would have been a whole lot better, but the 914 would have protected me...at least a little bit. |
