I wasn't yet an hour out of my home town, and a truck pulling a camper AND a uhaul ran me off of the road. He was going about 60 miles an hour, so I started to pass him on the left, and when I was about halfway past, he started coming over into my lane!! I laid on the horn, and he ignored it and KEPT COMING OVER... I ended up in a ditch full of mesquite. I am truly shocked that none of my tires were punctured. I've been run off of the road once before, that resulted in a broken axle, a messed up engine cradle, and about 5000 dollars total in damage... *yeesh*.. I panicked that time, and my car spun across 4 lanes of traffic. This time, I was calm and I casually drove my car into the ditch, slowly deccelerating.. I am so proud of myself! I didn't flip my car! Lol..

Anyways, I'm fine, the rest of my trip was pretty quiet, and I'm in Hope, AR, waiting for my PIZZA to be delivered... (I know, BAD Manda!!)


How're you all?

    I have been ran off the road, and had to have my brakes resurfaced, more times than I care to recall. I wish some people would just hang up their keys and call it good. I am glad you are okay.

    Well

    Heres to you making the rest of the trip drama free. Being run off the road once should be enough for one trip.

    Yikes!! That's insane!!

    In my opinion, you DESERVE the pizza after all of that!! Do they have "stress" as an exercise to count your calories on? :)

    I'm glad you're OK!

    When I'm there and I have a moment, I'll put together a slide show with all the pictures I've been taking, so's you guys can see my drive cross the U.S.... I've even done a dramatic reenactment of my facial expression whilst being edged off of the road... *giggle*
