i almost died on rice road today...

[Riverat84]

yeah.....im on my way back from parker this afternoon around 1-ish and just after the checkpoint on rice road going west, i was following a motorhome towing a dodge dakota so it wasnt going 'fast enough'. there was a silverado in between us, and the road was clear on-coming so he decides to pass him up, well im not in a huge hurry so i figured we would wait till later. he pulls to the left, and OUT OF NOWHERE comes this little focking geo metro! he swirves to the left shoulder and gets sideways, the geo swirves towards me so i QUICKLY swirve to the right shoulder and get sideways and NEARLY miss this little metro!......i stop on the shoulder after getting completely backwards at almost 70.
i tell you it was just about the scariest thing in my life! thank God there was no one behind me.....im just glad that errbody's okay. i thought this would be interesting because of the recent 'rice road death thread'.
sounds like the last time ill be on that road.
what do you think would happen if i were towing my boat? shit!

Glad it was a miss... I quit taking Rice Road, especially after "Madeline's" incident...

[Riverat84]
