on the subject of scary experiencese,
one time about a year ago i was tooling along the freeway in my '57, in the
fast lane, bout 65,. and all of a sudden everyone slams on the brakes, all 4
tires locked up and my truck got a lil sideways accross both lanes (good
thing there was no one next to me) i didnt hit anyone but i was about to go
off on to the shoulder to miss my dad (who i was behind). i brought it back
straight pretty quick though, only a few seconds. then when traffic started
moveing again i found out they all stopped for no reason, just becuase one
person apparently freaked and decided to stop on the freeway. quite an
experience for a 16 (at the time) year old. it did teach me how to keep the
truck straight when the tires lock up though, so some good did come out of
it all. and no one wanted to be near me the rest of the way home, no one
passed my 55 in the slow lane. and they didnt get to close to me from behind
either.
