I almost got ****ing owned

It was New Year's Eve and i was doing about 120 up the dark, wet Hamilton bridge (the one over the lake and factories). I was about half-way up the bridge, in the middle lane, surrounded by cars, when i realized that my car was slowing down. I pressed the gas and the engine revved, but nothing happened. 100... 80... 60.... The cars behind me were closing in, fast. I swerved right to get out of the way, which (as i was now doing about 45) translated into a very slow, gentle lane change. This turned out to be a good thing, as that delay left enough room for an Esso fuel truck (which would have otherwise ended up in my rear end, or on my rooftop) to fly by. Somehow, now barely moving, i made it to the right shoulder and stopped. The car started rolling backwards. HANDBRAKE!! Stopped. Whew. Wheewww. Luckily, my friend saw what happened and pulled over on the shoulder several hundred feet away. He slowly backed up towards us, picked us (me and gf) up and carried us off to the Falls for NYE. Later that night, i got Nissan Roadside to pick the car up and drop it off at the dealership near my house. It's there right now. The clutch is gone, perhaps the tranny too.

Haha exactly what i was thinking.

You can always spot the wank on the road who loves to burn his clutch cause you can smell him a million miles away. usually the same guy who is taking 90degree right handers in 1st @ 5000rpm.

And yet you still haven't learned not to drive like a mental patient.

How many threads have you already made about f*cking up your car due to stupid moves made on the road? So now instead of the old car you used to beat up, you have a brand new car that you spent a ton of money on, and are still turning it into a beater.

Aggressive driving is fine if the driver actually knows what he/she is doing and can keep up with what's going on around them... but you obviously cannot.

AND/OR not complaining when shit breaks because of it...
