Driving along M-59 and coming up on I-94...this guy in a station wagon of some sort is hanging out his window giving me the thumbs up for the Camaro and yelling :nice ride, man!" Pops his head back into the car just in time to see a stopped pickup in front of him. The wagon locks up the brakes, swerves onto the shoulder, missing the pickup's rear bumper by inches. The guy behind the wagon locks them up to and would have hit the wagon if the guy had not swerved to the shoulder!

I will agree with this.... I got the feeling of being on a schwinn in the freeway......you feel unsafe because of all the "attention" this ar brings!....... Kind of EXCITING though!!!

You are 100% correct. A similiar thing happened to me on my test drive last week. We were hanging a left going back to the delearship when a car coming from the left (which had the red and we had the green) ran the red light and came to a screeching halt in the middle of the road just missing us! Another car (4th Gen Camaro) slowed down to the side of us and almost caused a wreck as well. That was 2 incidents during a 10 minute test drive. WTF will happen when I get mine?! We'll see.

I try not to make eye contact with people that are staring or taking pictures.

Almost the 2nd known gawking accident.

I warned you

It was amazing we made to Florida and back to Oshawa at Christmas without being run off the road or someone else! Closest to an accident was going through Atlanta...You also have to resist road rage-when people are tailgating and swerving it's usually just to get a picture
