When I had my '08 350z for about 2 weeks I had a truck dump about 15 wood skids across both lanes about 50 yards in front of me. After I didn't feel anything wet/squishy in my pants, my focus shifted to dodging the stuff in the road lol. Now I always look at everyone around me and especially way up ahead of me.

Before I had the vehicles I posted above, I had this until I met with a motorist running a red light. This rolled where another car wouldn't have (especially not a Z):

Made me a more cautious driven; right of way ain't no guarantee.

Ouch man! I drive a '99 Chevy Silverado on crappy days. I can't believe what people pull in a normal days drive to work. I have to think to myself, they have a death wish and this rolling metal that can't stop fast has their name written all over it.

I 100% understand you. Just a week ago, I'm driving on the highway doing about 60-65mph on a 55mph zone. Just going with traffic. On the right lane blasting music enjoying the ride. Out of no where I see a hubcap flying at me. The maneuver I pulled made me feel like if I was on Fast & Furious. I put the blinkers on quick and went left than right than left again. 3 of them sh!ts came at me. . . After the adrenaline rush, cars were passing by me giving me the thumbs up. When I parked the car and walked out of it. I felt like I was moving in a slow motion hot scene on the movies though lol.

:tup: true dat.

Bad storms in tulsa last night with strong gusts... 40 or 50? i had an orange barrel instantly blow sideways into my lane at 60 mph at about half the distance you would follow a car on a DRY day.

I knew traffic around me was non existant. twitched around that sucker in milliseconds, car never lost composure.... I bet the stability system was involved too.... but I was quite impressed.

That 4runner trail is so sexy :yum:

But did the cars behind you blow up in a fiery rage after the hub caps hit them? That would have been sweet. :rock:

Awesome OP. Your story was actually better than Iron Man 3.

No sarcasm.

wow, I'd be too chicken to make any fast maneuver with Z's huge blind spots.

You need to adjust your mirrors...lol.

I own sports cars cause I enjoy them. 49 here

:tup: :hello: 51 (omg)

Part of defensive driving is constant situational awareness. My eyes are constantly scanning all 3 mirrors so I usually have a good idea who is beside and behind me. Situational awareness is another reason that I did not want Navigation in my car and even though my phone is Bluetooth linked, when I get a call the response is usually "I'm in my car, I'll call ya back when I can". I do not like distractions while driving. The jokers who have a bunch of feathers and beads and crap hanging from their rear view mirrors and stuffed animals on their rear decks and a 32 oz. Big Gulp in their cup holders who think their cockpit is their living room are the drivers that I avoid.
