Guys, today I went through one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. Driving through rush hour traffic on 69 South in KC I was coasting in the right hand lane at 65mph when I was approached by a large SUV barring into my lane. He had no turn signal and couldn't hear my horn. The jackass was going to take me out. I had two options. Take the hit and fly a hundred yards into a ditch to my right or James Bond the crap out of it. My instincts took over and I broke and swerved right. Unfortunately, since we were going at high speeds, my car started to wabble like it was about to flip, so I pulled the wheel all the way to the left until my car turned around in a 180 direction crossing 3 lanes and slamming into the median. I hopped out of the car and ran to safety. You can see the pic of my car facing traffic on twitter at @fanningksu (I don't know how to post pics here). Moral of the story, be safe this forth of july and don't take life for granted. I thought I was going to die. I'm going to do something with my life this time around and you'll see. Something big! Let the games begin.

Look at fanning, trying to one up manbeck leaving by claiming that he almost died and is going to change the way he lives.

Maybe you can start here

Glad you're alive Fanning. You cheated death. Any other posters who start with "fa-", I would consider changing your name.

That's a great story fanning. You will be the life of the party some day when you bust it out and have photographic evidence. Embrace it.

Were you able to get the drugs out of the car before you went running?

mocat · « **Reply #15 on:** July 03, 2012, 03:27:19 PM »

How the eff did your tire fall off? Didn't know that was a real thing.

You need to watch the Duke boys more often, but watch more closely. crap was always flying off the car, but then they would cut to a different angle and Bo and Luke were

like bosses. God that show was awesome.

I slammed into the wall after I slid at a 180 angle. It was the first thing to hit. It just snapped right off. Bolts were still attached to the tire and all.

I love this story. Probably an asian driving the SUV.

btw it's possible that you're misinterpreting this and it wasn't your second chance. maybe you're supposed to be dead and death is hunting you for sport now.
