Default Some D-bag in a white work van...

Almost f'n killed me on 295 north before rt. 70 today. I was rolling with my friends from C.I. and this f***head decides to cut me off in order to make the exit. I had to swerve(an understatement) into the center lane nearly losing control. I fishtailed ALL OVER the center lane. Thank god I always wear my seatbelt because I got thrown around inside the car. I finally get it under control. Brandon(Demonicbird) was kind enough to flip the guy off for me as he went by. You can ask him how it looked since he was right behind me at the time.

This was done at 65 mph with slicks and skinnies on

Good job fighting through the pucker-factor. He'll get his turn, everything comes back around.

Glad you ride is ok.

This is why automobiles should be optioned with a roof-mouted machine gun. Good thing you're okay.
