must have been tired

The windshield shattered but held. I guess the decapitated lady's windshield did not. It was a heck of a sight, that big assed truck tire tread smashing into the glass. I remember trying to duck down in the seat while I hit the brakes. The State Trooper came along shortly after and he escorted me into Fort Smith to a repair shop. I followed along behind him with my head hanging out the window, feeling lucky to be alive.

I had to bite the big one and run over a ladder at highway speeds. Those tires lasted another year. Glad I was driving a 4 wheel drive truck.

Man, this interstate travel is just getting too dangerous. Tonight we were driving through IL and a truck a couple vehicles in front of me throws a tire. There was about 2 seconds of chaos during which time a car from the other lane swerved in front of me, he slammed on the brakes, the tire came from under his car and hit the front end of our car, and I slammed on the brakes and swerved into the lane he came from on pure reflex. No collisions and no loss of control of our car. I pulled off at the next exit and the bumper has some marks from the tire and it broke in a few places where it looks like it was designed to break it you hit something.

This makes 3 adrenaline pumping incidents on the interstate in 15 months.

Since it's you I have to ask you:What were the odds?

(And god bless)

Ditch the car and get one of these!

Obviously the odds aren't long enough. But I won't complain since we've been fortunate enough to emerge with zero injuries.

I used to love that Road Blasters arcade game. If the tank would do 75 MPH, and I could get Frazod to man the gun, that would be the way to travel.

You need to put one of these on the front of all your vehicles.
