    So, this weekend I was helping my cousin move home from college.

    She had her own apartment so she ordered a UHAUL trailer and I hooked it up to my truck, and drove it home....

    So since my truck is sitting in front of my cousins house (3 houses down from mine) I took my car to work today as it is a nice sunny and 70* day out...

    So I am driving to work, and theres a car in front of me, and a Jeep Cherokee behind me.

    So we are all movin at a good pace (roughly 50mph), nobodys on anyones ass just normal distance when out of nowhere *and i still dont know why* the car in front of me has to Slam on the breaks.

    So I see this and when someone does that you slam on yours lol...well, knowing that I can stop much faster than the Jeep behind me, I look in my mirror to see the Jeep FLYING at my car and i think "OOOO THIS IS GONNA SUCK" but he swerved into the oncoming lane and ended up stopping past where the car in front of me was stopped.

    Good thing no cars were coming the other direction.

    If i was in my truck, I woulda either been in that other lane, or be pissed off at the scene of the accident while they pealed my truck out of the back of this car LOL. But with Brembo's, I had about 10-15 feet to spare :) hehehehe

    it could have been worse...this road has a lot of rock quarries and cement plants and stuff, so there coulda been 18 wheeler dump trucks full of rocks or a cement truck coming the other way LOL
