Your first "oh shit" moment in a vehicle!

[VTMi'kmaq]

I have had many but the most two memorable(that I want to remember mind you) are 1. 1985 My uncle let me go for a ride in his 440 6 pack superbird, lol I shoulda known when he put in those weird restraints that reminded me of a ride at the great escape I was in for it! The minute he stepped on the gas my insides went into my throat and I had the very first oh shit moment in a vehicle at a very young age. The second was my older brothers cobra mustang that he had modified alil too much, I;e when he hit the gas on the damn car the doors popped open, he said cause it was slightly flexing the frame! Another oh shit moment for me. Share your first "oh shit " moment in a car or any vehicle!

On the back of my husbands V MAX 1300 motorcycle on a new road that had just been opened, infact he had help build this road and wanted to show it me. He was speeding and as he went round a bend my leg shot over the seat leaving me hanging on with one leg I said my prayers that night, he righted the bike and all was well but I will never forget it. I thumped the shit out of him when we stopped, he won't forget that either.

my brothers gmc typhoon, worked over to 400+ hp. a lot for its day. sliding around corners before it was cool. handed down to me.... Was thrown from a friends Jeep wrangler when he put it in a ditch. another friend was passing the school buses on the way home in his restored 944, mail car was turning left, we clipped it then jumped a ditch into a corn field. Just had custom Porsche rims put on. a guy test driving a brand new escalade pulled out in front of me, I t-boned him with my snow plow, sending him into a light pole. oh shit moment for that guy.

A ride on the Back of aFull dress Harley when I was Seventeen, the road was curvy and long.
It went across the border of NY in CT Greenwich.
It was a 20 minute drive I had been on it hundreds of times but that day on that Harley it took Minutes.
It was the first time I ever had the feeling of flight.

Forgetting to pull carb heat and landing on a freeway, thank god for high wings. There were worse later but that was the first.

driving on the free way goin the speed limit in my cousins 2006 evo and it starts pouring.

they had the freeway all fucked up with construction so they had us merge over a few lanes.

well when we got to the part that merges you have to turn slightly left then back right like an aggressive lane switch.

the second we turn left we hit a puddle, hydroplane a little and all the water splashes up on the windshield

the wipers go 3 times back and forth before we could see again. luckily my cousin is a pretty good driver and started turning back quick enough.

a little fish tail and we were back to where we needed to be.

ive had some other snow storm slideouts and different things like that but that was the classic " OH SHIT " moment.

I rolled my first car (1985 hotrod ford tempo) 8 or 9 times.... Sky, ground, sky, ground

Riding a Kawasaki ninja down a straight highway at about 160 and my helmet started lifting, couldnt
tuck any further and just had to ride it out while gradually slowing down.

My first was riding in a 72 Ford LTD my Dad just bought. I was mixing a Jack & Coke for him and he was messing with me trying to make me spill (I was 10). He used to whip the steering wheel on the last car he had and make it wiggle back and forth. That car didn't have power steering... The LTD went sideways at 70mph and why it didn't flip I'll never know. Luckily that stretch of road was 4 lane and nobody was coming toward us. He managed to get it straightened out and stopped without killing us both. I handed him the 3/4 empty bottle of Coke and asked him if he was happy now. He told me to shut up and make him another drink.

The worst moment with me driving was when I drove 18 wheelers cross country. I was running late but worn completely out. I pulled into a crowded rest area around 3am and laid my head on the steering wheel with the engine running to catch a quick nap. When I woke up I was sitting upright in the seat and all I saw was the back of a trailer 5 feet in front of me. My heart stopped as panic consumed me. I jammed on the brakes and cut the wheel as hard as I could to the left. But nothing happened. That's when I suddenly realised I was parked and so was everyone else. I looked around to make sure nobody saw me. From that point on if I slept in the seat I put a pillow on the steering wheel. If I woke up and the pillow was there everything was cool.

Amazing we survived this shit, ran my first motorcycle into the back of a station wagon doing about 40...with no helmet.

Jumped off head-first before impact into oncoming traffic...and walked away.

Bike was hit by 2 other vehicles traveling the opposite direction.

It is amazing, but when you play hard you start to react quicker or learn to ride it out so you don't
cause yourself more harm.

You got very lucky but that would be the best possible solution, ride it out and paste yourself, or lay it down and
ride the pavement until you paste yourself under the vehicle. Quick thinking saved you, I lost a friend in a similar
scenario to yours except someone pulled out in front of him and he hit the drivers door, the impact caused his bike to explode
and he never had a chance.

im in awe from what ive read!

 

[Sunbiz1]

EPIC dismount!! Glad your still with us

It was that, or go head first through the rear window of the station wagon.

Err, I've wrecked 3 motorcycles...in 2 different countries.

Fortunately, I grew up before losing any limbs.

Objects in motion right? {damn you Newton!}
