  • michigan driving.

    so today it was rainy, not pouring, but everything was fairly wet. I was getting on the freeway and it was one of those monster loop entrance ramps, so I was going like 30 or something around the ramp because it was wet, and when I got to the end of it, I accelerated because there kinda heavy traffic going 70 and I was going 30. so I hit the gas (not hard, mind you) and the camaro decided it was time to dance. the back wheels just spun me into oblivion. went down into a ditch. I dont know the full extent of the damage other than the right front tire is pretty wicked. the tires seal was broken or something and it was just sitting on the wheel, looking like a tire does before you seat the beads when mounting it. Also, my alignment is screwed up. My steering wheel was turned one way and my wheels were facing the other. pretty sweet.
    so a cop shows up and calls a police tow after we already called aaa and they were on their way. of course the police tow shows up first and since we didnt have like 200 bucks or something on hand, he impounded it instead of towing it to the garage i work at which is about 2 minutes from where I was at. bummer.
    also, while I was sitting there waiting, I watched a like 5 or 6 car pile up happen on the other side of the freeway. tons of police and ambulence and fire trucks came. I couldnt see very well but I dont think anyone was seriously hurt. I kinda felt like a douche just sitting over there with my car in the ditch while the huge pile up happens.
    not a good day for michigan drivers.

                  Good luck with that, hope it isn't too bad. i feel for you, things can get pretty bad here too. A buddy of mine was cruising down the highway in 6th gear, and he gave it just a little more throttle, and it sent the car spinning across 6 lanes before stopping on the slow lane going the other way facing backwards. Luckily no one was around so there wasn't any damage or anything, but it just goes to show you how quick stuff like that can happen. Sorry to hear about the wreck.
