We headed out on a deserted bit of road behind the high school and I was winding her up and banging the gears haha, when there was a dip and rise in the road. Since I was hard in the gas at that point the tire began spinning then the car spun around 3 or 4 times. It finally came to rest with the rear bumper just 2 feet from a utility pole. Not a scratch on it. Some time later we all learned how Pintos were subject to gas tank ruptures when rear ended. That could have been real bad. Lesson learned.

Heck I used to get nervous just driving behind those Pintos! I think Id be buying a Lotto or Powerball ticket after something like that!
I think we could probably compile an Encyclopedia like series if we all put our stories together.
A1971Blazer's story gives me anxiety just thinking about it.
Davischevy's story reminds me of the snow plow that was clipped by a passing car in Utah - caught on a dash cam. I won't link it BC its disturbing. Again, gives me chills.
That moment when the out of control feeling crosses paths with the resignation that you're luck has probably run out..... thats the stuff that nightmares are made of.
