    Knott's Freeway Carnage

    Taken from another Forum:

    Hey, everyone! Glad to see everyONE is ok. If anyone needs me for legal crap, I was the tungsten s197 that was between the two that wrecked while exiting.

    My point of view: I saw the 197 ahead of me brake hard. I hit the brakes and cut left because I saw the stang behind me approaching quickly, and I wanted to give him more room. It looked as though he would be able to stop! Next thing I know, I hear a screech, my two passengers scream, and I looked over in time to see the 197 roll into the emergency lane with 3 other cars and a dangling exhaust.








    Be safe out there kids!

    Damn that sucks. Were they speeding and/or tailgating?

    The fox and the new edge are banged up pretty good.

    I saw a magazine guy (who shall remain unnamed) broke down on the I-5 near the 101 interchange. His black Stang was being hauled up onto a flat bed tow truck, as I roared past him in the R.

    The people on the freeway were very distracted and driving like maniacs! We had people cutting in front of us without looking, wouldn't let us over (slowly with a blinker), tailgating. Interestingly, every nice Mustang that we saw was taking it easy and had plenty of space in front of them.

    The people with the nice mustangs want to keep them nice so they drive normal. The maniacs apparently don't care about their cars or well being so driving like a jackass is ok for them.

    And about the Mustang being towed, hey its a Ford, tow trucks are Fords best friends.
