Ah now I remember!

I was driving on 41 and was going 55ish and I needed to get into a turn lane and there was a row of cars blocking the turn lane so I speed up to about 90 to get to the end of the row of cars and swerve over to the right and just make it into the turn lane and have to slam on my brakes to make the turn. You could feel the ABS working it was freaking sweet. Stupid, but sweet

That was not as stupid as my buddy (in a Mustang of course ) using a turn lane to overtake someone

Just remembered another one, 6 weeks ago i was heading to the dreaded dentist to have broken tooth out. The car in front of me was doing 40 in a 40 (how inconciderate is that), i was in a hurry so i started to pass him and he decided to speed up abit. When i passed i was hitting about 60mph, coming at me in the other direction was a bus and behind it was 2 cops in a 4x4. They flash at me and wagged their fingers at me, i braked down to 50 then drove sheepishly to the dentist. I was looking my mirror all the way there, later that night I was in agony and thinking i hope they dont come to have words considering i couldnt speak.

it was the first day i had the car....i was showing my family and friends. They loved the angel eyes and i had turned them on but left the low beams off. We were all pretty excited and i ending up leaving the lights on. Come out to drive it the next day....drained the battery I had never seen the idrive flip out because of the low battery so when i tried to start it, i freaked out. Called the dealer i bought it from freaking out saying the car was messed up. Ended up charging the battery overnight and everything was fine. Pretty stupid by me but whatever...
