I was, like, "No way!", and nobodynopsamAY.COM (Anonymous) was all: $ Not so long ago I was driving my parents Saab 9000CD. Of course I was $ meant to be driving it, with no insurance. How much is insurance in the Netherlands these days? (FreeClue: You're not that anonymous.) $ So I'm doing 180 kph on a slight $ hill and there is a corner about 500 m away, so I start to brake. I am sure $ I only just softly started braking but the next thing I knew I was on the $ other side of the road, facing sideways, with a bank tearing past my eyes. $ Now I thought that with ABS braking shouldn't be too much of a problem. $ $ Anyway, the first thought, after the mandatory "damn my mum's gonna kill $ me", was to let go of the brakes, which I did. Somehow I spun round the $ other 180 degrees and was facing the way I started, so I just drove off. $ $ It was incredible. I measured it to be a 200 metre skid, from 180 to 0, and $ there was absolutely nothing wrong with the car. The best rush of all time, $ but I wouldn't recommend trying it: it was a one in a million chance of no $ damage. That would be a shame if Mom and Pop found out about yer reckless endangerment of life, limb, and Scandinavian luxury-mobile. Good thing you're using an 'anonymous' remailer. \|/ - o - Bobby Tendinitis /|\ bedwarm AT wilhelp.com | http://queeg.resnet.wisc.edu/bedwarm / \ ------------------------------------ / 3 \ "You let me know when your life gets /_____\ too real..........................."
