The scariest moments I have had in a vehicle were on a motorcycle and thankfully they were near misses.

Detroit Bill,

Likely a similar story to many. Got to respect the power and understand the ramifications of a short wheel base car. From a rolling start jumped on the Cobra, hit second and the back end came around and I was driving in the opposite direction! Fortunately it was on an industrial road at 6am and no traffic. Once is enough!

BTW, check out Great Lakes Cobra Club - we'd love to have you join the group!! Great Lakes Cobra Club, Great Lakes Cobra Club

I already did Jeff. I am the Bill that was at the last meeting with my wife Teresa. Looking forward to future events after the most recent ice age ends.

No Bill, was not me. I'm a road course guy. As far I know the driver had just some minor scratches and a concussion.

I suspect in addition to those injuries he may have crapped himself a bit.

The day I rode in a Streetbeast, that was built by an idiot...

This Saturday we did go out for a ride,
Just out of town we came to an intersection.
When we approached it we had to stop(cold engine so I was looking at the meters)
The light turns green.
When I look up the car in front of me was already moving so I take off.
There was a gap about 60 feet,I take off and notice a pick up standing at the intersection to turn right.
When I could see the white in his eyes, he takes off!
Front wheels locked up,pumpt the brakes and just missed him.

There was so much smoke I couldn't see a thing left or right
