would have landed me in big trouble. but not,Alhamdulillah (Praise to God). the least has happened when there were the possibilities of worst to occur.three accidents in three consicutive days, that left me or my car untouched! so i call them stunts! rather than accidents :D. these were couple months back.
Being a driving freak, who doesnt bother to wear seat belt no matter a cop behind him, was on my trip to the rockies with two of my friends. we saw blue color in the GPS and were wanting to see a lake. all i could see was a straight patch of road in front of my with 30MPH speed limit. ignorng the sign boards I cruised to 60MPH and there comes a curvature! in those 3 seconds on the curvature, i practically understood the meaning of centrifugal force :D and all those physical laws that keep your car glued to the road. it felt as if i might fly off the road, and my left leg hesitantly applying the brake, in a dilemma that braking might roll the car in a more dramatic way. anyways i felt like whatever i did was a perfect combination and i was able to convert the accident to a 180 degree spin. the car stopped in the opposite lane in a single lane road, lucky with no vehicles coming in that direction. it was soo fun! :D
The next day we went to royal gorge, 2.5 hrs drive from my place, but this time in a rental Impala. on the way back home on a single lane highway at 70MPH, a big deer comes from nowhere and bang!! the momentum of her got herself off the road. i slowed down and again, luckily there was no car behind us. i was in no mood to stop as these kind of accidents happen often in places like these. my friend said, the deer might be stil alive and better we call the police. the deer was unconsious for some time and then started trembling. ok, we called the cop, waited 30mins, and he comes, takes out his revolver and shoots the deer! saying she is already in the dieing state and he is easing her pain! he had plans to use the deer meat to feed the circus lions. to my good luck, I took insurance with full coverage for the car. well, all this was soo exciting! :D
The third stunt was a brave one! and was after a few days. it was a snowy morning with -15C temperature. on my way to office, i thought of taking the straight freeway instead of the regular road with ups and downs. a stop on the uphill would keep my car spinning there for ever. so i took the ramp, raced my car to about 50MPH(65MPH is the limit), and there it goes....so smooth and sliding without any effort! the feeling is just awesome here. its like a man who jumps from a building and wants to stop in the air in between. :D. you just dont even have 1% control of the car. to add to this my car's front tires were torn to death. somehow i managed to get the car off the road rightways on the unpaved area which was filled with a foot high snow. that really hellped to halt the car to zero speed. yups..the car stops, no damage...and no injury to me. if i would have hit a car or the divider on that high speed, it would have been a really bad accident. well for the next hour and a half i am standing in biting cold, calling my so called friends for help and welcoming two cops. randomly a guy in ford truck sees me and stops for help. i would just say that, what he did was an act of noble virtue. he literally lied down in that knee high snow to stuck the chain hook under my car and pulled it back to the road. i could just thank him in most polite & friendly manner.
so is this what we call a chance? if it takes the sh** out of you then i guess. otherwise its fun, exciting and something to share...
