Wow. The Ride home was..interesting.

Post by zeerow » Sun Feb 23, 2003 3:59 am

Well, I just got back from Chicago. ON a trip that usually takes five hours, we were in the car for 10. The weather was insane..every mile or so you would see another car that went off the road. If that wasn't carzy enough, we even saw a car blow up..like, WITH FIRE!. It was insane..luckily, noone was in it. There was a such a jam, we ended up driving like 15 MPH for a couple of hours.

Hell doesnt even explain it.

Did anyone else try driving in this weather?

I did. It was just all rainy and shit here. Nothing special to report except for an inch of water in our basement.

A car blew up outside my house once.

It was just like the movies promised!

It did at first, the tires exploding woke me up... after the initial shock it was entertaining though.

Nobody was hurt by the way.

We couldnt see it for long..eventually all we could see was the sky lit up with an orange tint..

You wouldnt believe how lit up things get when its all white becuase of snow.

cool. At one point we had a minivan skid off the road, jump the curb, and slam into one of our trees. No harm done other than a cut on the arm of the driver.

heh..we also got in a race with this guy in a Jeep Grand Cherokee..

We were sitting at a stop light and he took off..we got beside him as a joke then he really tried to race us...we ended up blowing past him :)

Sure, it was stupid...but it was fun.
