well instead of "slow in, fast out" he did "ooooops... WTF?!!... in, HAIL MARY out"... miraculously he pulled it off. I think a novice in an old 911 who got himself in that same fix would have ended up in a wheel chair or worse. There was zero escape other than the exact way Walker stopped with not an inch to spare. So quick hands or maybe he just closed his eyes and said his prayers...which is the option I would have chosen.

What I want to hear is if Walker deliberately rotated the car so he wasn't hitting the truck head on.
