Quick reaction there Calvin. Always expect the unexpected when out driving. Full respect to you for not flipping your lid and respect to the guys for not kicking off and trying to blame you, as very often the driver at fault try to pass the blame regardless. Another vote for the Sliver wheels. Keep the great content coming Calvin. 👍
