I can attest to the loudness. It could be heard throughout Fontana Village....no matter where his car was.

Good save! I had to do the same thing today with a dump truck that decided to merge without a blinker. It was that or slam brakes and possibly get rear-ended by the SUV behind me.

Good save to you as well! I'm glad you got out of your near miss okay too!

We should definitely start a club.

Nice driving, RG! I'm glad you, your daughter and the cello escaped unharmed! You definitely earned the right to sport The Stig badge.

Thanks! And I am especially glad about the cello myself, it's not a million dollar Yo Yo Ma cello or anything like that, but getting the thing fixed costs big $$$$!
