What a morning!!
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 3:53 am
I had a rather exciting morning today....probably not in a good way though.
I was headed up to Greenville, SC for work. I left the house around 5:30 or so. I start driving down the road, and the car is smoking like crazy. I was like WTF is going on. I had sprayed the IAC valve with brake cleaner this past weekend, and didn't drive it much since I did that. So I'm pretty sure it was because of that. It eventually stopped after a few miles. However it was a little freaky to say the least. I checked at the airport, and there's a nice coating all over the rear bumper.
So I'm on the way to the airport, and I just got onto I-45. This truck goes to move over to the left one lane. There was however a newer trans am right there. The trans am jerked the car to the left. I still don't know if the truck hit him. But the trans am over corrected, went into a skid to the left, he corrected, again over corrected, car goes right, he corrected again, car comes almost completely 90 degrees to traffic, and he goes shooting off to the right. LUCKILY there was an offramp there, and he goes shooting onto the frontage road, and eventually comes to a stop. If the exit wasn't there, he would've plowed into the concrete barrier head on doing at least 50 mph!!!
All this happened right in front of me!! Definitely got the addrenaline going.
So that was my morning....that and spending my morning flying....
