I was driving up sunday evening from a beautiful day of New Jersey crab fishing down the jersey shore with my kids. When I was coming home north in the NJ garden state parkway. I was in the slow lane with my cruise control on. About 40 feet infront of me there was a coach bus. The ones that bring people down and up from atlantic city. Suddenly the coach bus comes to almost a complete stop. I did not notice right away(I was adjusting my stereo volume) when I llooked up(it took me no more then 3 seconds to look up) the huge bus was almost at a stand still. At this point I was driving full speed to a rear end collision with a huge bus. I didn't panic and made a sharp left hand pull around the bus. I was able to drive around the bus at 60+ miles per hour. But unfortunately on the left lane another vehicle was driving past us. It so happens to be a state police officer that I literally pulled over. The Rx8 tried to go into a 360 degree turn but I was able to counter steer back and forth and I managed to walk away with my life and my kids life.
to the members that are waiting for the templates I was dealing with insurance adjusters all day monday and tuesday. everything is back to normal in the shop and I'll be shipping tomorrow morning. ..
