2002XTREME is an unknown quantity at this point

What i find ironic is that the factory puts a sticker on the underside of the pass side sun visor that says Abrupt movement can roll this veh... Not in those exact words but i`m sure every one of these blazers has it..I`m lucky if i even reach 55 on the roads around by me..

Either way, sucks for the driver. looks like a really bad accident.

i don't know Sisk & bezerker, i had a super quick avoidance last weekend-with my truck loaded to the back of my front seats with boxes.
some *** hat (thanks for the term Pat) cut me off & slammed on the brakes in front of me while i was coming down the 400 (the only major highway that heads up to God's country, from Toronto), doing the usual 120-130. when this "tool" flys by me, just misses my front left corner, and slams on his brakes on-right in front of me! i slammed on my brakes & yanked it hard to the left (transport to my right) only barely going onto the center rumble strip, and right back infront of him. the last part was on purpose of course (you guys have seen my "Winter Import Bumper", right?).
could smell the Blizzak's bitchen about the strip i just tore of them (locked up the LF tire on the first "swing"), but the truck settled in instantly, and nothing more happened.
FYI, this "tool" follows me into the truck stop down near King City (10 miles down the highway from where he tried to stop in front of me), and starts going off on how i cut him off when i got onto the high way. turns out this guy was going from the far passing lane, aiming for the merge lane, to go around everyone, when i "came into his view" (as he put it!).

hmmmm.........maybe i should put this into Pat's "idiot deserves what he gets" thread.

sorry about jackin' your thread here Duane, i just kinda got on a roll, and couldn't stop. just wait, Curtis will be by soon to try and reprimand me for it, hahahahahaha!
