Just your average gorilla

Had my truck totaled on the 17th. Couldn't find a decent truck with a manual, so bought a '99 GT convertible instead. Basically the same thing, right?

Someone wanted to play tag.

I'll get some pics up as soon as I find them. Swore I put them on this computer.

The rear view shows how it got there.

You saved that dudes life by moving to the right. How on earth did they not see you coming.

Welcome to the site! I like the stang, but I couldn't live without a truck.

The videos don't really tell the whole story. It looks like there was a lot more time to react than there actually was. By the time I came around the curve he was already committed to turning and probably wasn't even looking my direction anymore.

Kinda miss the truck. But not really. And for what I do a compact or even a Ranchero would be fine.

Psychic cops always have the best response time...

It was funny... he didn't see the hit, just me climbing the barrier. He told me he was trying to figure out what I was trying to do.

Ya gotta appreciate that unsettling moment the cop likely experienced up to the point you high centered.
From his perspective you may have looked hell bent to come get him!

Man, that’ll get your adrenaline pumping! Hope you weren’t hurt or injured in the wreck.

Congratulations on the Mustang, though. I gotta agree with Shaggy on this one: don’t know what I’d do without a truck. But I’ve spoiled myself having a truck (‘12 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi) and a car (‘95 Cobra). Best of both worlds, IMO.
