Sh*t Your Pants Behind The Wheel?

[Ryan T]

I'm not real sure I would consider this the "scariest" moment, because it all happened so fast and caused so much damage that I barely remember it. But it is certainly the most eye opening. Following my friend to his house in Georgia in 2003, going about 35-40mph in a 35mph zone and I have a blowout. I was driving my supercharged 96 gsr integra. It only had 17k miles on it, which seemed awesome to me, but I didn't think much about the 8 year old tires on it with only 17k miles. Front passenger side blew out on me and in a split second I was yanked to the side of the road and right into a tree. Broke my right arm in 7 places.

Butt-pucker moment:
Summer of 2004 I was driving back from Huddle House at 2:30am in my hometown with my college roommate. We were in my 96 Z28 Camaro. Just cruising on the interstate right before my exit and a deer runs both across and towards me on the interstate. Were going about 73mph in 6th gear when it happens and at the same time that I swerve to the right I shift it into 5th gear. Back end goes sideways and instead of overcorrecting I steer into it and we proceed to slide with our back tires in the right lane and our front tires in the exit lane for what felt like forever but in reality was probably 250'. Gave it some gas and opened the wheel up and it came right back in line. My roommate almost shit himself.
