I posted a story here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post352440

TL;DR: I went from getting off on hypermiling to having [lightly] wrecked my car before it is paid off—in about 5 seconds!

This happened when I was in high school. Hebo, OR had a triangular island downtown. Traffic from the Valley faced two stop signs, the left one went to the coast and the right one headed North. I think it's changed now.

My brother was driving, and there were 4-5 cars piled up waiting to go West. So he bent right, stopped, and turned left. As we passed the other stop sign, the 2nd car nerfed the first one! As we rolled out of sight the two drivers were out of their cars and walking toward each other.

Thanks for reminding me of that story.
