So I was driving home tonight and it was snowing/rainy and I almost got T-boned pretty badly by another driver who was not being cautious. I was able to avoid her swerving car even though it went into my lane and did a 360 or two. It was interesting what my thoughts were right before it happened though. In the few seconds that the entire thing happened I had the follow thoughts (in sequence)...

1. Wow, she's going pretty fast on that on-ramp and she's swerving
2. OK she's over correcting her skid and has lost control, I am probably going to get hit
3. I can't believe it, of all the cars I could get hit by, I'm going to get hit by a god damned beige mid 1990's Saturn S-series
4. I wonder if she has insurance
5. I wouldn't mind using the insurance money for down payment on a new car
6. I could get myself an Acura TSX, that would be sweet
7. Missed her, *phew* what a stupid bitch driving so fast in the snow, I should have honked my horn

I must say I didn't expect #3, 5 and 6 to be going through my mind at that point.

So for those of you who have had near misses or even a sure collision, what crazy/funny thoughts were going through your mind?
