Almost crashed my 5 week old CL

Today driving to work, i was driving normally on the highway and was behind a big truck, all of a sudden, the truck brakes, turns right and goes on the shoulder, then i see 2 cars in front of him STOPPED on the highway. So I was like oh shit, slammed on my brakes, thinking, god im gonna crash cause theres not enough space for me to stop and i cant turn onto the shoulder since the truck did that already, so i swirfed to the left lane and heard the car coming up behind me's tires squeeching from braking, so i slammed it down to 2nd gear since i was in auto and floored it. Luckily the guy behind me didnt crash into me. Immediately i got flash backs to my last accident, where i crashed, and head hit the steeling wheel, as soon as i opened my eyes(a little dizzy), everything in front of me was white, i was like oh shit, im in heaven. Then i looked to the side and saw that it was only the hood of my white car that popped up. But it was scary at the moment.

Dude - glad you're ok!

Lessen to everyone - WEAR YOUR SEATBELT! Airbags don't help as much without them!

BTW - were you wearing your seatbelt?

Seatbelt Related:

A friend of mine was killed just wearing the auto-seat belt when he was driving his friend's car eclipse. The door opened and he flew out. Glad the CL(S) don't have those.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing posts from m3ricer.
He is a wealth of knowledge, you must admit. Nobody quotes Tupac better. I'm sure if I saw him in person I would say, Damn, he's pretty fly for a white guy...

His first post was such a gem, I'm surprised he didn't get the ban hammer right off the bat. The mods must be busy elsewhere.

Don't forget the wonderful threads he authors...

"BMW Meet. Come on down. I'll be there big pimpin with ALL my ladies in my Bimmer!!"

"Who thinks they can beat an E36 M3?"

"CL looks like an Accord in front and Buick in back!!"

and "BMW is more prestigious than Hondacura!"



Everyone has a right to an opinion, so I give M3Racer the ultimate distinction ...

Wow, that's quite a story. I could visualize the whole deal as you were describing it. Chilling....

I think that the CL-S with very minor mods would smoke an E36 M3..just my opinion.
