putty got his first fast car while living in san luis obispo.
when buying the car, the sales guy showed how fast the car can corner by going 65 on a highway entrance.
after getting used to the car for about 8 months, putty started doing the 65 trick on the same highway entrance.
after a few good times, hit some sand and the car spun 270 deg into a highway barrier on the left lane 3 lanes to the lane.
the car had $17k of damage and was fixed pretty well.
no major injury or even whiplash.
the biggest almost accident, driving on the left lane of a highway 880 in the east bay south of oakland.
the car in front of me veered to the right very sharply, revealing a car stopped on the left lane of the highway.
there was no time to slow down or brake, and fortunately there was no car to the right as i systematically shifted one lane to the right.
the slowest almost accident was when going from ardsley ny towards nyc.
it was icey and the car lost traction on an exit.
while the car was going really slow, it spun around 180.
there was the smallest of impact on the railing.
no damage or even a scratch on the paint job, but really slow-motion scary.
