First coming to the I-91/I-95 merge their is a hill that you go over and you can't see the other side. A road work truck was sitting their of course. In the left hand lane blocking it. I missed the pile up thanks to the great handling but a few cars rear ended each other and side swipped eachother.

Then on I-95 a big truck almost rear ended me a 70mph, I guess I wasn't going fast enough.

Then I get off the highway and a red Sunbird almost slides into me because she was going way to fast around a corner.

Holly crap! Does someone want me or my SDL dead today? Thank you MB for those great brakes they have saved me more times then I care to remember.
I think Alan Hamm planned all of that so your SDL would be out of commission for a while, and he could reach 250K miles before you could.
