Braking...Exquisite!!

So I was driving back from bestbuy after purchasing my Plasma TV and the lane became from 2 lanes to a quick 3. So it was green and nobody was goin so I entered the 3rd lane and slowing down, I see this stupid **** coming from the first lane into the third lane at a traffic light intersection. I just slammed on the brakes and turned into the adjacent street. Within that whole time, my body did not move an inch! The car did not skid nor did the brakes not fail!!! This was first experience in actually utilizing the SBC and it works to perfection. Had I not been in this car, god forbid the thoughts.

Of course, I got out of the work to check up to see had anythin been damaged and nothing. Spotless. Just a bit of brake dust but no skid marks or anything of that sort. I looked at the "stupid *****" and got back into my car and drove home. Thank god for SBC and Driving Dynamics!!
