well, 2005 brought me some very weird occourances and unusual events, things that aren't really supposed to happen to "you" my way while i was in my R and i'll share them with you. watching a trailer for FD3 kind of reminded me of these "occourances"

back in July right before the 4th i was heading out to an Indian Reservation to get some fun 4th of July goodies for a party i was throwing, i was on I-15 heading North cruising at about 85-90 MPH, coming up to a little bit of traffic slightly slowing my speed i start to pull up on an 18 wheeler. waiting for a white Tundra to go by in the fast lane so i can get behind him, out from behind the 18 wheeler. at this moment the 18 wheelers stainless steel bumper decides to come off and bounce between his wheels which i didn't see happening at first, by the time i pull up to it it's just too late to do anything and i had to hit it, well run it over. a big shinny stainless steel diesel truck bumper taking up the entire lane i happened to be in looking kind of like l.____________.l ... when i hit it the impact was quite hard and i ended up catching a little bit of air after running it over. thank god it didn't pop or lacerate any of my tires (week old 615s), it did shatter the CF front lip i had on and put a pretty big gash in my front bumper, and bending a few odds and ins behind it. all said and done i got a brand new front bumper from Falconis Acura with all of the other parts that needed to be replaced along with the lip, a full paint job all courtesy of my $500 deductible at Falconis Honda/Acura Paint and Body. it was quite amazing on how i was able to keep the car under controll giving the situation and having all 4 wheels about 2 feet in the air after an impact like that going approximately 75 MPH.

exactly 7 days later in the same hour of the same day (Friday between 2:00-3:00pm) and 2 days after i got my car back from the previous story. i went to Nevada Power to pay my power bill. i go through the drive up teller thing and there's like 2 cars in each line so i go to the line at the far left. after waiting i get my turn. i put my bill and payment in the plastic container and send it up through the chute to the office. (most of you probably know what i'm talking about but for those who don't, the first section of it is a clear plastic conduit that goes straight up and sections into a 90 degree steel piece and heads to the direction of the office) so i'm sitting there listening to some music as i await my change and the the unit to the right of me decides to detatch itself and go through my back window (clear piping with the steel 90 degree section) missing the back of my head by about 8 inches. it basically looked like a 12 foot clear & blue candy cane. it scared the living **** out of me. just a freak accident really... they ended up closing all of the drive thru lanes and had had all sorts of people from techs, the people who built the things, Nevada Power security, claims manager, and some other people. all in all the claims manager from Nevada Power gave me $4800 for my troubles where i got the factory glass put back in and a nice little chunk of change to go along with it.

it was just out of the ordinary on how these events happened the way they did and the days and times ect... makes you think heh. is death after me??

if you've had anything that usually don't happen happen to you in your R tell us the story

you southerners have some weird *** sayings I cant figure out

 

well my occurance has nothing to do with a near death experience..

but one friday night on my way to walmart.. i just so happen to be on the "strip" when a modded suby STi was next to me and constantly revving and setting off his blow off valve every time he got next to me. we proceeded down the "strip" til i turned off @ another intersection... he followed, and from there.. i got tired of hearing his blow off valve and looking at that park bench spoiler of his.. i decided to drop gears with him... little did he know what was lurking under the hood

we went from a roll three times to about 100 and each time i would walk him like a dog... i would immediatly jump 1-2 cars up on him and pull farther and farther away... by this time we had passed two intersections and a doughnut shop... as i looked in my rearview mirror, there was 4 police interceptors giving chase with lights and sirens going.. i turned left at the next light and pull over... while the sti went straight or right and disappeared? mind you the sti was black and it was dark out so they may not have been able to see his car as well as they did mine... not to mention im running the buddy club spec 2 that is just a wee bit loud.

anyways to make a long story short.. all four of the popo had me pulled over and surrounded.. 3 what seem to be "new" young cops and 1 older officer.. the older officer asked me for my drivers license and i immediatly admitted to racing blah blah blah.. mind you I have a class A cdl and sell cars for a living... the officer asked me what the hell i was thinking.. i told him that the guy in the sti egged me on and we dropped gears. i could here the younger cops talking **** and saying "lets pull this ************* car from him". older cop went back to the cop car to run my reg and license... all the while im sweatin bullets because im thinking to my self... im fucked.. there goes my job... my lively hood.. and so on...

so the older cop comes back up to my car and asks where i was heading.. and i tell him i was on my way to wally world he said thnx for being honest and get on your way home.. and while this may not have been a near death experience, i might as well have been dead had i got what should have come to me. sorry for the rant...
*flame suit on* for street racing

 

damn thats crazy

 

lol NX, just happen to fly by a doughnut shop T_T

i definately know that gutless heartless emptiness feeling when you get pulled over for something stupid like that, not a good feeling. on the other hand i doubt the chump in the STi tries to pick on any more ITRs

 

2 Fridays ago I got a virus and while passed out in the ER waiting room with a 104 temp, I was apparently talking in my sleep (if thats what it is when you're passed out) to my ex-girlfriend, asking if she was there and if she is ok. Then in my room when I was "awake" I asked my parents if I was in a wreck because I was sore all over (doc said it was my body fighting the virus).

The next day my ex-girlfriend wrecked her car.

Weird huh?

crazy dude... was she ok??

 

Fender bender. But she wasn't wearing her seatbelt. A couple weeks ago I had a vivid dream that she wrecked and was thrown from the car, I found her and she died. I asked her to wear her seatbelt after that (I always bug her to anyways). She felt bad for running into the guy.

 

damn Aqua you and your crazy dreams

luckily don't remember to many of mine...

 

I remember most of mine. They haunt me.
