I felt like sharing this story.. mostly because my mind just couldn't handle it for a minute... didn't know what to think..

I bought a new car a while back.. (new to me)
2008 Mitusbishi Lancer Evolution
I like it.. its fast.. I like going fast
anyways
My friend wanted to experience this machine that I had been Hyping up at work all the time
We work together but we are actually good friends...
anyways..
I decide to take him down an old local backroad around my place...
Its 30km/hr thru the whole road.. (I guess thats like 20mph? I dont know)
Its slow tho, lots of twists and turns.. no lines on the road.. you have to pull over to let other cars go around you.. its tight.. and twisty.. bad pavement
So at night.. when you can see other lights coming from around the turns.. is when that road becomes amazingly fun.. like a rally race
I was doing about 130km/hr which was as much as my car could possibly handle on this road without dying...
my tires were screaming around every turn.. almost as loud as my friend...
this road is maybe 2-3 minutes long.. I did it in about 30 seconds... (also you should know that for 3 years straight I had to drive this road twice a day, I knew the road exceptionally well)
Anyways I scare the gak out of my friend.. and we get to the end of the road..
when we get to the end of the road.. i turn around and start drriving back but going the speed limit this time as hes losing his mind and boosting my ego by telling me how excellent he thinks my car is...
maybe 45 seconds after turning around and heading back down this road... There was a TREE across the ROAD!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME... I flew around this corner 45 seconds ago doing around 130km/hr and then I turn around and there is a tree!!
Wasnt windy.. nothing.. At first i didnt believe it... 45 seconds later if I had come around that corner me and my friend would have been spread all over that tree...
anyways.. I thought it was crazy...

Cool story bro.
