I dodged a van!!

Today going to work Im on the 101 freeway just going pass the 110 and thats when a stupid Fookin van decides that they are going to speed up and change to the right lane. Well I was looking ahead of the van and saw a open lane so of course I floored it I drive a "G" and also I had been driving in traffic all morning I couldnt wait to go faster. I timed my passing the van so I would pass right when it got into the right lane when.......ERRRRR there was traffic in the right lane and it braked leaving half the car and tire smoke in both lanes. EMERGENCY swerve with no hesitation and all OK. I guess what I really wanted to say was that THE G35 HANDLING IS THE BOMB!!!!! I swerved around the van with out hitting the lanes bumps to my left and came back with just a slight turn of the wheel and in full controll...OMG I just fell even more in love with my car!!!!!

see thats what im afraid of... emergency flooring. cause its more difficult to do it in a stick-shift, than in an automatic... im hoping that day wont come soon, i only have 4500 miles under my belt driving a stick!
