Thankfully no one was in the back seat.

Back in the day when rails were made of wood with an iron strip nailed to the top to take the wear of the trains, the strip used to come loose every now and then and sometimes come up through the bottom of the car like a spear.

That made me cringe. Yikes.

I would've just looked at the sky and yelled, "HA! Missed me again!"

I saw an accident on I-5 on Friday. It wasn't what I was hoping for...

Douchebag was weaving in and out of traffic. Tried to pass on the right at the wrong time. Slammed on the brakes, lost control. Ended up sideways in the lane flying towards the median. Hit the side of the road and his car turned sideways a slid a bit.

I stopped... just hoping maybe the douchebag lost an arm for the way he was driving. This guy was seriously driving like a clown.

No such luck. The guy had a small scratch from his window shatter... dumbass was waling and crying like a little girl when we helped him climb out. There were 3 girls in the car that were more man than this puss was. He was seriously waling and screaming. Be a man, you f*cking pussy. Luckily his laptop and PSP got smashed, so that made me feel better.

Yeah, yeah. I'm a bad person. Blah blah blah. Whatever. F*ck this guy. Learn to drive, you retarded nutsack.

At least it made things interesting. The only stretch of road more boring than I-5 between Tracy and Bakersfield is I-29 from Fargo to Grand Forks. This is why cars need autopilot.

I-70 through Kansas.

Nuno311:
Not to mention in some "soft shoulder" stretches...they are basically swamps filled with gators and all kindsa things that would be pissed off if you drove into it or even had to stop for any length of time.

Or the mosquitos that would carry your car away if you slowed down enough for them to catch you.

I've driven on that road once.

Once.

Nuno311: Alligator Alley (basically a 2 lane road along the bottom of Florida to get to/fro Miami).

Although I guess it's not too "boring" because if you have a head-on/apply directly to the forehead accident (because of no lights, one of those wicked FL rains, or someone falling asleep)...then it would be quite a while 'til someone came and got you.

I've driven down Alligator Alley plenty of times, sometimes without a phone and it is not fun driving it at night. Dark, middle of an alligator/python infested swamp. All you're thinking the entire time is, "if I break down, I am farked". I can't believe they haven't come up with a better way to get to Miami that doesn't circumnavigate the state.

Came for this one. Thanks.

nah, the part between KC and Topeka is exciting since everyone does at least 90MPH.

Concur. I don't remember whether it was Kansas or Missouri, but a college club I was in was traveling to a competition, and the road was so straight that our driver was turning around to engage in conversation. We had to warn him "ROAD IS CURVING" before one of the few bends in the highway.

MBrady: the nameless one: that was not a "steel rod", it looked like a piece of steel bridgeing which is used as something to strengthen structual steel buildings ( and it's pretty damn flimsy), it's not totally impossible for that to go through the floor board of a car, but it's highly unlikely.

Looks like a piece of 1.5" X 1.5" X 1/4" angle steel. Not sure where that would be on a bridge though.

That's what I thought. Angle iron ain't flimsy

0Icky0: Cubansaltyballs: Yeah, yeah. I'm a bad person. Blah blah blah.

Screw that. I was wondering why you helped him climb out.

I was hoping to see a severed arm or something horrific happen to the guy. That way I could tell the cops what happened. Hopefully the EMTs would lose his severed arm after hearing how this nutsack was taligaiting and drive like a retard.

*sigh*

That's not what he said.

/but did Marcus lift? No. Marcus doesn't lift.

I got to experience I-44 through Missouri. At night. After being awake for almost 24 hours. Towing a trailer with a not-really-big-enough truck.

I don't remember much of the western half of the state, but the eastern bit was the opposite of straight and flat. The road engineers made the grades (mostly) straight, with sharp kinks at the bottom just for fun. Truck got iffy going downhill at anything over 65, but would slow down to about 45 going up the hills.

On the way back home, we transferred as much stuff as possible from the trailer to the truck, and I slept that leg of the trip.

eddyatwork: Good thing that we put child safety seats in the back since it's safer there.

Interestingly enough, statistics show that, for children age 2+, car seats offer no improved safety over traditional seat belts. If anything, child seats are actually slightly worse than seat belts.
