Near-miss Rear Ender
...just barely escaped a horrific rear ender with my Z. I feel SO lucky, but so Pee'd off at the same time. Either a young punk or a very young female driver in a BRAND NEW ACURA SUV with the Temp Plates still on... I look up checking my rear view as I am slowing down to make a right turn from the main street (Collins) onto my street, and I see this White Acura SUV accelerating like crazy towards me - about 50 yards away and closing the gap fast... I am in second gear about 10mph now, blinker on, brake lights + F1 Flashing Brake Light and this Dodo is not even checking up off the accelerator. I punch it and zip over to middle lane - at that speed and gear it feels like forever before the car responds and gets in the middle lane. The Acura's grill is filling my rear view fast and I can just almost sense the crash about to happen, the Z finally darts over to the middle lane, the SUV's nose gets squirly as he finally realizes that his/she is about to hit me hard - but passes my rear right quarter panel about a C** hair off... I sit in the middle lane screaming at him/her as the SUV passes me the driver is looking at me like the idiot he/she is... I cannot believe my luck - I don't know how I am still in one piece... That's it! The Z is in for the day... gotta settle my nerves...
