Default 2011 CG GS Almost T-boned!

I picked up my Grand Sport six days ago. Today I was driving when a Lexus filled with Soccer Moms crossed three lanes to make an exit. Unfortunately, I was right where they were headed. It's amazing how 430 HP can get you out of trouble! They missed me by six inches.Took me an hour to calm down and remember that assault was a felony....

Glad you were able to avoid any trouble.

I have a recurring dream about a car filled with soccer moms but it ends differently, though there may be a felony or 2 involved as well...

Our cars are low, I always tell my wife when she drives her Vette to be careful and always watch out for the other guy, especially if they are a higher type vehicle. I tell her to get up beside them, just ahead of them if you can, or be prepared to honk and brake or move over because sure **** they are coming! Try and stay out of their blind spot.

Yes indeed, those silly broads in their freakin Lexus SUVs are definitely dangerous, in particular when on their cell phones. They think the world revolves around them. This brings to mind driving in the Seattle area --- black Mercedes 450 SELs--- definitely worse, as most were driven by Chinese from HKG, never driven before, not a clue to road rules when behind the wheel. This was ten years ago, by now they may know how to drive if they survived the learning process.

I don't know what they look like: Q-tips or Raisinettes. Spent a year in St. Pete and they were abundant.

I'll second that... for sure. Watch out.. the word is their new scam is short stopping so you hit them and they try to collect $$ from you. Like they don't get enough welfare already.
