New No, the first

On that list, driver of the CRX was...unstable. Death Valley run was...interesting. Light trucks have little incentive to stay on the road, and that road tends to float over the scree slope anyway.

\r\n\r\n

Tops though was from the prior post. Sliding through a 4-way intersection, traffic in all directions, attempting a left hand turn, sprinting for the light, hitting the grease patch, and going down in the middle of five lanes, was the scariest.

\r\n\r\n

Showing the road-rash to the friends I was visiting impressed them....

\r\n\r\n

...as did the fact that I was planning on making the 25 mile ride home without blinking an eye.
