There's been a few close calls... About a month ago, I was in the passing lane of a 2 lane highway, and a SUV started to change into my lane, THEN decides to take a look in the side mirror and saw what was approaching, changed his mind, swerved back to his lane, fishing tailing and almost flipped. Then the same thing happened with a pickup truck a couple weeks later. Another time, I was stopped at a light and all of a sudden, I hear tire screeching, and a saw guy in a Caddy slam on his breaks and barely avoid rear ending the car in front of him. I looked over and saw him still looking at my car so I raised my hand and pointed to the car he almost rear ended... Well tonight, the same thing happened, only this time a guy was driving a BMW, and he didn't stop in time, and rear ended a Hyundai. The beemer's front end was totaled. The Hyundai held up surprisingly well. Maybe it wasn't my fault. Who knows, maybe he was busy checking out the Hyundai and didn't notice the brake lights coming on...
it finally happened: caused an accident tonight.

I was in the right lane, had a guy in an Eagle Talon in the left lane, and after leaving a stoplight, in traffic, think he was "passing" me and rear ended the pickup truck in front of him at 40 MPH. Tooooo funny.

To finish Tom's story: He then went over to the Eagle's owner and asked to buy his rear brakes...........

A Metro, I remember the day like it was yesterday when we traded the Sprint up to the Metro, we were so proud.
Anyway I thought I would add to the accident thread. Last summer after we just got our Viper we were cruising with 5 or 6 other Vipers and the guy in the Honda with 3 people hanging out the window beside us drove up onto the center divider and almost crashed.

I've got a couple near misses with staring car drivers, but happily no crashes yet. 
Still I have had 3 kids fall over, when not looking where they were walking, 2 more crashed on bikes, and one on a skateboard.
It's definitely a genuine complient I suppose, but it still makes me wince when it happens.

I also have interesting stories to tell. In one case, a car left the road in an impressive way - bye...bye...

I caused an accident on the first day that I drove my car. I was on the freeway behind an old 240sx I pulled up right behind him and I could see him staring in the rear view mirror. I passed him and he kept looking at the car. He didn't see the truck in front of him and all I saw was his front tire bounce behind me and a cloud of steam.
