Holy crap guys... I just narrowly avoided a huge collision on my way to work. If I had been in the old 370 or the 5.0 I would not have been able to fit through the hole I had to slip the S2K through. The car in front of me and the car behind me are totaled. I think the one behind me also got hit by a few other cars as well.

I was in the far right lane of the highway. Volume was high but the speed was up. Was behind a Silverado doing about 70 mph. A work van was next to me on the left. All of a sudden I see the Silverado lock up the front brakes, then make a hard left into the next lane.

Through the tire smoke I see a Prius at the back of a line of traffic stopped dead ahead in my lane. I get hard on the brakes but knowing I'm going to hit him if I stay in my lane I let off the brakes and chance it that the van to my left is paying attention and quickly dart over as far as I can to the left. I was able to get partially over into the left lane and managed not to hit the van and just narrowly squeaked by the Prius at about 40 mph.

The Corolla behind me slammed into the Prius and a couple other cars piled into the Corolla. Airbags off and everything.

Madness.
