    Thats nothing.... ever driven in MD? Ever seen MD drivers traverse ANY road, paved or not? But in our case, we usually dont have happy endings.

    Speaking of which, my VX was almost rolled a few weeks ago. I was merging onto the highway (65mph zone) and an 18 wheeler came into the far right lane from the left just as I was merging in. Totally didnt see me. Pushed me off the road onto the shoulder at a high rate of speed and the rumble strip caused me to bouce a bit and lose traction, which skidded me into the grass. The VX toppled a bit and rolled up onto the passenger side wheels. I reacted as fast as possible and turned into it and it dropped back down. Somehow, through it all, I kept going until I was up to speed again and was able to get onto the highway. When I got up next to the 18 wheeler I looked up at him in disgust (and a giant lump in my throat) and he put his hands up in his face like he was screamed out SORRY. At least he saw his almost disastrous mistake. And in the end, the knot in my throat and stomach went away after about an hour.
