[69882000]

With death??

[Francis Sollozzo]

once as a 10 yo kid , drowning

once as a 30 something yo man driving a car

[69882000]

Really bro? That's some heavy sh*t.

[pat venditto]

encounter with the crips in my neighborhood

[69882000]

Where they trying to rob you or something?

[FreeFall]

jumped out of planes w/ a chute, if you can even count that.

Otherwise I don't think so. But then again I doubt most people will remember as the mind will shut it out from the conscious mind so you dont think about it. It will have to be triggered off again for you to remember it.

Really bro? That's some heavy sh*t.

the drowning as a kid was painless and fearless , hard to explain. just drifting off then a man pulled me up.

The car thing was like in super slow motion , 18 wheeler in front of me on the interstate locked up. i was going like 80mph and was about to go under the trailer. then it was like slow mo , i ended up doing a 360 and landed in the median on I65. car still running , i got back on the interstate but got off at the next exit then started shaking.

once as a 10 yo kid , drowning

I was 5 or 6 and almost drowned.

[goldengoat]

some kid on a bicycle blew through a stop light at night and pulled right out in front of me

i did not have time to hit the brakes but instead whipped the car into the other lane and just missed him

his eyes were the size of the moon

quick reaction saved his worthless life. couldn't see him til the last second cause it was dark and he had no lights.

[topcat]

i was 18,and stupid.i was coming from my cousins house,and i was driving 120 miles per hour.it was a straight a way,then the curve came.the car fliped 2,to 3 times ,i cant really remember.i hurt my knee really bad,but by the grace of god nothing else was hurt.the wreck was so bad,my sister,and her husband saw the after math,and my sister started to cry.i promised god i would never drive that fast again.

Pat Venditto if you are still out there. What were those crips trying to do? Rob you? ask you where you were from?

[robzilla]

Hit by a Drunk driver who went through a stop sign. BTW, he was driving a Cadillac coup de ville, i was driving a honda accord. It went through my car like a hot knife through butter.

A couple of times...rolled my mustang at 110 once and the other time I was on the side of the interstate outside of my car and someone fell asleep and swerved off the road smashing into my car just as I dove inside.

Driving on sleet ice back in my Texas days was the closest I came to death. I had a situation where a semi was driving so slow due to the conditions on the road that I almost rammed him because he suddenly stopped. My car would of been crushed if I did, because I would of ran right into the back of the semi-trailer's rear at at least 40 mph if I was to slam on my brakes.

As you can see, you cannot slam on you brakes if you are driving on sleet of road ice. Your brakes will lock up, and you'll go flying down whatever road your on until you hit something. We'll luckily for me I made the right split second decision, if I was wrong I would of been seriously hurt or dead. I decide to do a hard left turn instead and missed the diesel by a hair.

My advice to anyone is to never ever drive on icy road condition without tire chains, it is not worth the risk.

thats what happen to derick thomas,a former kansas city chief great,not the trailor thing,but the slick ice thing.

[69882000]

My cousin on numerous occasions had that happen to him. He is a very impatient driver. He lives down in Texas. And I can agree Texas has very slick roads when it snows.

Twice...Once when I was living in Clark County in my early twenties. Break-in at my house while I was asleep (I kept a little cash there). Shoot out in my living room after killing one in my downstairs bed room. To this day I don't sleep in my upstairs master bedroom anymore.

Second time....Driving right before Thanksgiving about 15 years ago. Busy intersection and I had the right of way. Straight through the light at about 50 and the kid turned left on the other side of the road in front of me. Head-on under the stop light with no brakes. The cut me out of that car. The shifter broke off in my hand. BMW is not only the ultimate driving machine, but it's the ultimate crashing machine too. That car saved my life. NOT A SCRATCH! Man those germans know their shit about cars.

[69882000]

I have had great experiences with BMW's. I know exactly what you're talking about.

[69882000]

I have gotten into minor accidents while in a BMW and gotten away without a scratch
(on the car) That whiplash pain the next day is bit*h though.

[Bet Shooter]

I have had great experiences with BMW's. I know exactly what you're talking about.

The engine is designed to drop out of the front of the car at impact to keep it from going through the fire wall. They know their shit.
