    Really rattled...I almost died this morning.

    I was on my way to work, zipping along at 75 mph when the car in front of me hits something with his back left tire.

    It's a huge black toolbox the size of a freaking television set. It was sitting on the yellow line, but when he clipped it, it spun right into the middle of my lane.

    I had a split second to swerve right or left, and I didn't think I could miss it on the left, so I went right, and there was a semi beside me. I came so close to him I clipped either his fender or his gas tank.

    Another inch and I'd have gone under the truck and wouldn't be sitting here right now. You can see where my right front tire actually touched the truck.

    I'm still shaking.

            Thanks guys. I'm quite shocked actually that I didn't crap my pants.

            I guess there really is such a thing as being scared ****less! LOL

                Any day you cheat death is a good one. It means you're here still and you appreciate how it can come for you any time

                Not being facetious. Glad you're still with us.

                    Whew, glad you're ok!
                    That's a chilling reminder of how easily this can all be taken away; any time you get behing the wheel of a motor vehicle, you're at the mercy of so many variables that are out of your control.

                        Glad to hear you made it through this ordeal relatively unscathed (at least physically). I've had the unpleasant experience of being in two mvas, both of which left the car I was in totaled. One was a head on, the second a t-bone. It's been several years since both and yet I still cringe when I see the car crashes and the like on TV and in movies. I'll agree, sounds like you have a really good guardian angel looking out for you, Dwayne.
