Mustang Cobra Destroys itself on freeway About three weeks ago I was on my way home after fropping my wife off at work when I noticed to my right side a 2001 White Mustang Cobra getting on the ramp onto the freeway...I have to admit that this thing was absolutely beautiful....complete paint job, rims, etc...I guess he saw me in the far left lane (the fast lane, #1 lane) and he guns it to catch up to me. He has to cross four lanes of traffic (their are 5 lanes at this point and as many as 8 lanes in certian parts of the freeway) Well there was a car in the number 3 lane and the number two lane was clear and that was what this Cobra was gunning for to get next to me....well at this point he was doing almost 100 MPH I would have to say (I was doing about 80) when the car in the number 3 lane switched into the number two lane, cutting him off and causing him to brake hard....he wasn't gonna slow down enough in time so the guy sends himself into a 540 spin, avoids the car in front of him just to get smashed frontside by a Chevrolet Suburban that was behind him...this hit caused his Cobra to go flying into the center barricade, ripping his rear end out from underneath the car and completely disintegrating his rear body...the car looked like it was split in half at this point... things got alot worse when two more compact cars crashed into the Suburban and then him sending him skidding in the number one lane...by this time I was up ahead watching this all unfold in my rearview mirror....never knew what came of the accident but I didn't hear of any serious injuries or deaths so god bless...this is the fourth Cobra thats tried to race me and has lost or been totaled...I should change my license plate to MSTNG KLR....( all the Cobra's where as follows...I believe a mid 90's, 2 2001's and this one that totaled....and another thing...my wife raced int the 1/8 mile for her FIRST Time the other day and beat another Cobra at the track) So that is 5 Cobra kills so far!

I wanted to stop but I thought about it and the problem with that is when the cops would show up they would see a wrecked mustang and then my car and automatically think there was a race going on when in fact there wasn't. I would of probably been arrested for street racing, got my car impounded and fined heavily....it was the guy in the mustangs fault for being an idiot and he probably would of tried to say something against me like I cut him off or something to make it look like it was all my fault....a chance I'm not willing to take....but I honestly do feel bad for everyone else involved and I heavily researched my cities sig alerts and no one was reported as seriously injured or dead.
