    Default New car almost smashed up...

    So im driving into work, merging on the connector this morning minding my own business, when all of a sudden.... I notice a huge SEMI from the fast lane merging over to right lanes really fast, since he wasnt supposed to be in there in the first place. Im in the fourth lane about to make my way over, and no joke he swings his rig over into my lane so fast, and luckily I was already in a low gear I was able to punch it and get out of that situation quick. He almost clipped my rear half. If it wasnt for my turbo back exhaust I got installed yesterday, I know there would have been more of a lag before I hit boost and I would have been a goner


    Thanks Mainstream Performance for saving my life
