OT: be carefull!!

i almost got into a wreck after not driving my truck for a week. go to take her around the block, and as i'm getting on the street go get to my street, i guy is looking down and swerves halfway into my lane!!

i had to jerk the wheel hard and slam on the brakes. they locked up and i slide about 10 feet on the road. he looks back and keeps going.

i swear he was arms length from me. if i hadnt have been paying attention, it would have been a head on collition at 50mph

You have to watch other people more than you do yourself. I bet you had to go home and change your undies after that.

Damn, is there a hit out on 73-87 Chevy/GMC trucks or what? Within the last month some members have had their trucks hit and/or stolen.. Mike is right you have to drive for everybody else.. Everyone be careful..

Yeah well - Last year I was driving the Tahoe on a narrow 4 lane street (it is now just a 2 lane street beacause of these insidents) I was stopped at the stop light and a truck pulled to the left of us and rammed out mirrors together. Scraped up ours pretty bad and made it pop around backwards - theirs got a chunk taken out of it and broke. Stupid drivers!
