What did you do with your Z today IV

m4a1mustang · 06-27-2012, 08:54 AM

I was paying extra attention to the Silverado since I couldn't see through him. Next time I'm going to leave double the gap.

I am pretty sure what happened is he wasn't paying attention then saw the Prius at the last second. Everyone behind me assumed everything was fine since he was going at a good pace.

It did sound really cool. Heard my tires and then the big crash sound from impact. My hearing was extra sensitive because I was trying to listen to see which side of the car I was going to rip off... left or right.

Today we run through soemetechnology issues with their IS dept and show a few key workflows. If I don't blow it, then the deal is done. Sales has their pricing ducks in a row, their management team has signed off, and we have delivered proof of concept to all other departments. There you go.

good luck today, mr.onzedge!

selling a 6 digit software is tough business (not that i am any expert in software).

Also, this is the second close call that has me thinking I need to order PSS for the S2k right away. The last one was a giant metal pipe getting kicked up 20 ft in the air from a big truck ahead of me, then slamming down in my lane. Had to cross two lanes quickly to avoid it and the Hanpoop tires did not want to hold on.

i knew this was going to be some sort of PSS commercial/advertising campaigne...

just kidding! glad you made it okay!

i had a similar situation back 20yrs+ ago when i was driving a pos civic-hb with no-season tires i saw a cavalier or something PARKED in the middle of the fast lane. we were all going pretty fast 75mph-ish and a trunk infront of me (blocking my view) suddenly swerved out of the lane to avoid hitting the parked cavalier giving me less than 0.5 sec to react.

with pos all seasons on a stock pos civic with 90K miles, i knew the only option. i went into the grass to avoid

hahaha. i thought my pos car would fall apart into pieces with tires blown and all.

cars behind me also did the same and luckily noone hit, no blown tires.

we all got out of our cars, and did the wtf dance.

then hopped back into our cars and drove off.

Thanks, Mr. Kenchan. This one will be 7 figures over a year. No pressure. Geesh... These guys are showing up in 1 1/2 hours and then it's all on me. I need a nap or a vacation or something. I may as well burn off my nervous energy on the forum.

Sit on your hand until it goes numb, then rub one out. It's called "the stranger".

You're welcome

Wow! So glad to hear you're ok man! You know what's sad about leaving extra car lengths gap? Every azzhole out there wants to fill it.

Isn't it funny tho that during times like this we are hyper aware and vigilant due to the proverbial sh!t hitting the fan all around you? Time CRAWWWWWWLLLS
