Today I had to make evasive manouvers while crossing a major intersection which required yours truly to get all sideways to avoid an oncoming douchebag that decided to turn in front of me. Fast Five is not my typical driving style (especially through highly visible circumstances), but it came in handy today!

Click through to see the live action sequence!
( Click to show/hide )
I approached intersection and awaited vehicles to pass. You can see where I am located (ME) and where the douchebag was located (NOT ME)
http://i50.tinypic.com/35mnwxf.jpg


( Click to show/hide )
As you can clearly see in this slide, I have begun to enter the intersection.
http://i46.tinypic.com/qoulg9.jpg


( Click to show/hide )
At this point, sir douchebag (NOT ME) has decided to enter the intersection as well.
http://i48.tinypic.com/b6ol5i.jpg


( Click to show/hide )
Now...amazingly, as seen in teh live action sequence (neah, huh??), said douchebag (NOT ME) has decided to direct his douchebagmobile in my general direction. I had to take evasive manouvers by punching my accelerator thingy (the one on the right) whipped the wheel right, then corrected left, which brought my azz end swinging out (note arrow indicating azz direction) while turning my front tires into the slide (note arrows indicating tire direction). At this point in my evasiveness I was in full Fast Five mode, with racing engine and sliding azz end.
http://i48.tinypic.com/2woaxs4.jpg


( Click to show/hide )
You may see at this point that I have moved successfully through the section with a happy smile on my face, while sir douchebag has finished executing his doucebaggery. Good times!! :ugh2:

Good work, Brantly. I had to make a similar maneuver last fall when a woman decided to turn left from the side road I was turning left on to. She did not see me and I had already committed to the corner. I had to crack the throttle and spin the rear of my car away from her (while avoiding slamming into the curb on the right). All I could see was the big H from the grille of her Honda Pilot right in my driver side window.

The bumper is the most expensive one, mainly because it's one very large piece with all those weird angle cut and shape, and it takes 2 person to put on the bumper piece, I remember the bumper cost me close to $500, but from the experience of the 350z... the bumper piece is well spent!!

Funny you should post the shirt picture. I just ordered a similar polo in red, a Nismo cap, and a "pit crew" shirt - basically a button down shirt in white and black with Nissan embroidered on the front and back and several "sponsor" logos - NGK, Castrol and others embroidered on the sleeves.

Excellent mr. kenchan! :tup:

I've been doing a set of exercises for over eight years now, and no further back issues. It still can get sore but not to the point I can't walk or are bed-ridden.

It is tough getting old!

Ken, I went with stock sizing since the PSS did not come in 285/35. I would've liked a 285/255 setup, but it was not meant to be.

Darn...electronics are outdated the moment you walk out the store. I have to find an adaptor to connect it to my headrest camera bar. Gonna be a few weeks before I can $$ it. Will need to read up on the GoPro2 differences. :tiphat:

Glad they got there safely mr. happy. Fingers crossed that you can use the lug bolts. If not, I really don't think they cost that much.

Mr. kenchan, apologies for not keeping up with the thread on an hourly basis (like most here do) sheez must have 15 pages since this morning at least. I do not know how you guys do it and still get any work done on your jobs.

Did not get the whole enchilada on the your back, gathering from above post. Might suggest the sports/health ball. I had lower back issues and it did wonders. It works the inner muscles. :tup:
