Comming home from work yesterday and I pull up to a stop light. I was the 7th or 8th car in line. (I just naturally leave a little room between me and the car in front) ... So, I see this Maroon Ford Explorer hauling a** towards me from behind. I think to myself "there's no way he's stopping that thing before it gets to me." I slam the auto into D1 and punch it merging into the center turn lane. Instantly the Explorer was beside me and the driver of the Explorer didn't get it stopped until it was at my passenger side mirror. If I hadnt've moved it would've been all over for the sx.

Lesson here is to watch your rear view mirror.

40k actual miles on a '95. It's a clean 240 with factory original tires.. lol. Now if it had 100K+ Id've shifted into reverse and planted the 240 under the explorer.
