the nip of jack frost
2008 December 17
Tonight, I:
- skidded up a hill for more than 100 metres.
- skidded down a hill for approximately 20 metres.
- hit a curb, which probably did a number to my vehicle’s wheel alignment.
- put on my hazard lights for a duration exceeding 30 seconds.
- took a safety “detour” which added another 20-30 minutes onto a normal drive.
- solidified the notion that the tires on my vehicle are bald as baby bum.
- for the first time, was ever apprehensive about driving.
Please, if you are driving in this inclement weather, please please use care and caution. I thoroughly enjoy driving but tonight this morning’s driving experience was altogether very discomforting. Be safe everyone.
Talk soon. (=
yo..my jaw dropped reading this. glad to hear you’re okay bud.
at least you’re okay! perhaps the real question should be… but did you let a stranger drive your car for you?! ;p
gahh glad you eventually made it home SAFELY!
the other night my friends car spun in an INTERSECTION & we almost hit 2 cars….that was not fun.
yay for “detours”! KEEP TAKIN’ ‘EM!
That suuuucks.
Just avoid driving entirely, if today is any indication.
Good thing you were unscathed.
