Close call on a highway.
Driving, minding my own fucking business, when a semi truck starts to swerve into my lane. No trucks or buses are allowed in the left lane.
Watch the video and ignore the gay ass radio song.

That happened to me the other day. Lifted f-250's passenger (left lane) and a truck driver (right lane) were trying to communicate with each other, with me in the middle lane. Both converged..

Never a good feeling when something like that happens.
Care to explain the choice of music? Last I knew they installed tuning buttons on the radios to avoid stuff like that. Also, out of curiosity, did you post a thread showing your dash cam install?

Ipods work well when I hit areas of poor reception (Meaning having no Metal radio stations or XM sat is out)

Hell...I've been on the Thruway and 287 and had folks veer into my lane...with their windows open. These folks must go completely braindead when they turn the key. I mean...come the hell on.

Navy Blue Metallic- 2000 T/A Firehawk M6
almost got creamed in NJ the other day. Was coming home from the mustang cruise and there was a group of 7 of us heading back into NY. I kid you not it looked like this..
New Edge stang
White WS6
Black SN95
White Trans Am
Black Termi Cobra, leaking gas.....
NBM Firehawk
Black New Edge convertible
So we are merging onto a road, I forget which I was just following the pack, and I am trying to stay with my group.
I drop the hammer to catch up and pass a 3 series along the way. Now I don't "fully" get by the 3 series before I'm with my group. It's front bumper must be about mid door for me.
What's the reasonable thing to do if you are this bimmer??? back off yeah? the road is narrowing to one lane and you are "behind" me.....
Nope... sticks with me till my passenger side is less than 6 inches from the curb and the bimmer bumper is about the same from my drivers door.
Finally the bimmer MASHES the brakes falls in behind my friend and as soon as the curbs were gone and we were on the main highway FLYS around all of us blaring the horn the whole way....
Gotta love NJ.....

I would get pulled over within minutes with all that stuff hanging from my windshield. Nice insurance policy to have though.

I think I will invest in one of those on my next sports car.

Yup...has happened to me too. Was cruising through Englewood a few nights ago and some blonde in a twin-turbo 3 series kept trying to keep up with me while passing Englewood Hospital. Heard the turbo hiss and I mashed the gas and she almost rear-ended a few people in the process. I dunno why folks wanna try to keep up with a modded car if their car is stock. Just like when ya pass a slow driver on the highway and the next thing ya know, they're on your rear bumper. It's like "OOOHHHHH...A SOUPED UP CAR...I WANNA RACE!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" It's ANNOYING!!!

I am daily driving the Falcon, well... I am not really daily driving anything at the very moment. But soon I will be driving the Falcon everyday. I don't consider that very sporty at all, maybe if it was Sprint model. I intend to buy another car, but I plain to take my time and get what I trully want... I do not know how long it will take me, but I been picky.
