soooo, about 1/2 hour ago I'm heading home in my rat rod and see the yellow light flashing warning of the light changing to red at the foot of the bridge. I'm sitting there watching the cross traffic pass and leaning down so I can see when the light changes. I lean back and check my rearview mirror and all I can see is the grill of an 18 wheeler doing about 60 about 50 ft behind me. he locks em up and swerves at the last... the very last... split second. I think he might have taken a bit of the white off the lettering on my tire. he's blasting by, smoke rolling from the tires, and manages to squeeze thru the crosstraffic..the cab bounces off the guardrail but the float jumps on top and he wipes out about 50-60 ft of that before finally stopping. I pull over, walk to the truck and thank him for missing me. a 1926 model T and an 18 wheeler? they would have cleaned me off the road with firehoses.
