Lolz Paulie- and entertainingly-written as usual.
And totally laughed at the cab sliding through the intersection too. Shame, shame!
My only loop was on-track at Monticello where there might have been some witnesses from this board. Sort of brain-farted where I was on the track layout and waaaay over-cooked a kink, tried braking but bailed on that and then tried to just turn and pray the car could do it somehow... nope!
Nothing but the pride hurt thankfully.
My other pucker-factor was on some local streets showing my brother what the car was capable of. Really dumb and could have been very very bad... I wound out 2nd to redline/wastegate wailing so that's what, 90MPH? on a straightaway on a 30MPH road. A car pulled out of his driveway like he's entitled to do, having no idea some A-hole is going nearly 100MPH. There was no time to do anything- I stabbed at the brakes too hard and it immediately smoked the RF, tried it again and the same thing and now I'm about to rear end them at a fatal speed. There's an oncoming car too, but I end up getting back on it and crossing the double yellow to go around the driveway guy and crossing back into my lane with just feet to go on the oncoming car (who never gave an inch of room for me to increase my odds of saving their life). That was one of those heavy-breathing holy-**** what just almost happened moments I used to only get on motorcycles in my early 20s.
I'm not that guy anymore, thank God. To be old and wise you first need to be young and foolish, right?
