Brent,
Thats' terrible but it could have been much worse as you know. Start the What if's". Half a second slower off the last curve (would have missed the whole thing), Half a second faster....
Two or three weeks ago I installed a new System One
oil filter. Got the thing installed and took off for a test drive. Stopped at the Quick Trip for some bottled water. As I am pulling out I notice I am smoking like a freight train only it is blue white smoke. I finally found a place to pull off and call my wife and ask her if she and our daughter could hook up my trailer and bring it to me, she thought she could. While I am sitting there watching
oil drip from under my car I thought since I didnt hear any noise I would raise the hood and fire it up and see where the
oil was coming from-there it was spitting out of my lower filter (the part I forgot to tighten). I immediately called my wife back and told her to forget the trailer and bring me a quart of oil and a couple crescent wrenches. We were both relieved but it sure made a mess and boy was that imbarrasing.
