Subject: RE: BS: Near crash incidents on planes, etc...
Driving to a swimming place (sand pit in the boondocks) with 2 friends when I was in high school. Gary was driving. Gary drove fast. Car ahead of us on shoulder of 2-lane road. Another car approaching from opposite direction. Gary was not slowing down...and I was about to s**t.
Gary says..."Hey, that car's not MOVING!", and simultaneously whips the wheel left, then right,...around the stopped car as approaching car swerves almost into ditch! It all took about 6 seconds, and we were sailing onward, never slowing for a moment. That was the last time I rode with Gary.

Last I heard of Gary, he was flying jets for the Navy.
