Drove my FR-S today, did not crash... - Page 53 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Driving back from lunch. Notice a silver Camry pulling out onto the access road. "Surely this Camry isn't going to try to squeeze between the spot in front of me to get into the U-turn lane when I'm going 50mph".

*Slams brakes and swerves left to avoid being t-boned by said Silver Camry, who proceeds to honk and flick me off*

Didn't crash.

I thought there was a good chance of getting shot for doing that kind of shit in Texas .....

Started to get slippery, but I gotta improve my time on public roads, so I drove fast couple turns were probably not as safe as they should be.

I also tried to pass someone, the guy I'm trying to pass matches my speed up to 145kph in a 90kph, and then a wild car appears in the opposite direction. Slowed down, guy next to me also slows down, he's clearly trying to get me to crash. I accelerate and safely merge into my lane. It was very close, maybe another 3-4 seconds and I would have had a head on collision. I did not crash, no one died. I hate retarded drivers though, let me pass you and I'll go on my merry way and you can keep doing speed limit.

I wonder if they realize that the person passing them is more likely to run them off the road than get into a head on collision... Cause if theres no other option I'd rather be alive and them dead.

In other news...
Drove my FRS yesterday. Did not crash.

*converts kph to mph*
Yeah, sounds like a total retard.

Also, a wild car appeared? Is this Pokemon now?

Must have been too busy driving without crashing to post at the time.

Might as well be, off in the distance a car appears coming in the opposite direction.

Probably not, especially when my options are to either drive into the rock wall to my left or to push them into the river to my right...

Not so bad when it is off in the distance. Much worse when it is all of a sudden THERE.

Drove to work and stared at all the cars in the ditch from the sprinkling of snow. Did not crash.

By distance I mean like 10-15sec ETA until collision, which is still fairly close when assholes are preventing you from passing. But yeah, I don't pass on those when I can't see what's coming up.

Drove FRS this morning, what a great way to wake up (did not crash). Hate living in California sometimes, I can't seem to find 5 minutes to enjoy myself without catching traffic

I think you will find that driving through any large urban center is about the same anyplace and is not just a California thing. I spent two days driving around the Bay area and would take it over Toronto traffic any time.
Still have not crashed.

True. Trouble is with California, *everywhere* is bad. At least somewhere back east there's plenty of open roads outside of the main cities/urban centers. But I digress, I'll just have to wait for the next track day for safe speeding.
