On the way to work and waiting at a light to make a left turn. Turn light goes green arrow, so I start to pull out. I notice a car in the far right lane of the oncoming traffic that hasn't slowed down that much to stop for his red light. About half way across, I decided maybe he wasn't going to stop and as soon as I got to where I was looking out the passenger side window at his headlights and grill, as close as he was and the speed he was moving, I knew I was going to get hit.
I figured might as well mat it and at least keep him from hitting the cabin area and leave the rear portion for him to hit, if he does hit me. I was bracing and expecting the crash. Somehow how, don't know how, but he missed me. I was so surprise he didn't. I guess the low end torque and having it down in first helped me get out of the way.
I looked this morning and didn't see any skid marks where he might have made a serious attempt to slow down or stop. Oh, I had the radio up and it happened so fast, I didn't have time to turn it down, so I couldn't hear if he skidded or not. Anyway, thank to my car for saving itself. I love my SC and glad it's still in one piece.
