wow. So I'm driving to work, minding my own business, and I get onto southbound northwestern highway from telegraph, going towards my work. I just get up to highway speed in medium traffic when all a sudden out of nowhere a bunch of white 2x4s are all over the freeway in the left and center lanes. I'm in the left lane, going "fuck, there's no way I can swerve to avoid these", so I just decided to hold the wheel straight and go for it (if I blew a tire, I wanted to be going straight, rather than careening towards traffic, or the stalled vehicle in the breakdown lane).
a bunch of noise, then shit flying everywhere behind me, and a hell of a bumpy ride.
I survived. My car is okay. I don't get it. That should have blown my tires to bits, and it would have if I didn't get the damaged ones I had been driving on for months replaced the other day. At worst, I know I snapped a few that were already damaged by the fall from whereever they came from, and they should have damaged something under the car. Everything was okay.
Anyway, I called 911 and reported all the crap all over the highway. Hopefully they can get it cleaned up before someone with bad tires hits it or something.
I am glad that you and your car are ok *HUG*
thanks. I have comprehensive coverage on my dump with wheels, so I would have been lucky anyway, but not having to pay a deductable and being able to drive home okay are definite perks. :->
yeah no kidding
=( i could have possibly lost you that scares the shit outta me im gald ya ok tho.
it was cool, it was kinda like you'd expect if it were a scene in the movies. no direct fear of death, per se, but a fear of colliding with something, or having a spinout or something like that.
it gets the adrenaline going, and the car's okay, so I was pretty stoked after that.
You shoulda stopped and scammed them for my house!
after I hit them at 65 miles an hour, after falling either off the back of a truck, or off the overpass (the latter is what I think happened), there wasn't much left to build with, per se.
That's the weird thing about Fords. You hit a rainforest worth of lumber an 65mph, you're fine. In a week you might hit a ladybug going 5mph and it'll be upside-down in flames.
according to my insurer, that's why I have comprehensive coverage
I like the ladybug idea. Think he would make it on to the 11pm news for that?
Nah, will be on the evening news for other things. You'll recognize him as the one with a black bag over his head being escorted by the police.
WHOA! Thank goodness you are okay.
