RALFFERS 0 #1 August 3, 2007 I just got home, and glad I did, because it almost didn't turn out that way. About 30 minutes ago, I'm getting on the expressway to get back home andb almost got smushed by an 18-wheeler while at the end of the on-ramp. It wasn't a "normal" on-ramp, in that it had a sharp turn from start to finish; usually, you still have some time to merge with traffic as your coming on the expressway, this one however ends right away. As I was coming on, the truck almost hit me on my side, going 70-80 mph. It didn't scare me too much (it did scare me though) but I, yet again see how fragile life can be...Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #9 August 3, 2007 Really? I was too angry to shit-muh-britches when that happened. Some coked up douchebag was shooting at our car. Hw was in a corvette and we were in a Kcar. he would race up past us and get out and shoot at us. Lucky I wasn't the driver because I was yelling at the driver to ram him. good thing he was a shitty shot and it was a .22, .also. The car was full of holes (3 of them...does that qualify as full?) Finally, I told the driver to turn down a dead end where there was a trail to get to the other side. I wanted to ambush the guy but they all ran away. I stood by the trail ready to hit the guy with a pipe I found.....he never found us. I guess its a good thing, but I would have beat him til he stopped moving.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #17 August 3, 2007 QuoteJust curious, what state and why did you decide to want to confront someone with a loaded weapon? Glad you escape that situation though. one guess. NY I wanted to confront the scumbag because if I am going to get shot, it's going to be in my chest, not my back. I've had a few friends shot and killed for no reason and If I was going to be one of them I was going to beat the living shit out of the guy while I was bleeding to death. BTW- this whole thig started because he thought we shouted something at his girlfriend. QuoteWhat have the police done about this? HAHAHAH! that's a good one.

Muenkel 0 #21 August 3, 2007 On the Northern State Pkwy on Long Island, they have several entrance ramps like the one you described. The only difference is commercial vehicles are not allowed on the Pkwy. These entrances would make my heart pound as the traffic was always heavy and cruising at 65mph. I think half the time I would just close my eyes and merge. Also, if you were in a vehicle that was sluggish, you were screwed. You usually would get a ton of horns honking and plenty of the finger. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACMESkydiver 0 #24 August 4, 2007 Exact same situation happened to my mom and I a few years back in my car. We were merging on right in the middle of the semi's trailer. All I saw was truck and multiple wheels coming right at us. The next thing either my mom or I knew, we were on the other side of the truck. We didn't go in front of him, we didn't go behind him...and we damn sure didn't go under him. To this day neither of us know how we went from one side between a cement barrier and a semi to the opposite side without ever having moved around him. We are religious so we've a good idea why...apparently, our purpose hadn't been fulfilled here yet.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
