Lets talk about new vehicles

I had to roll on the cheap remember?

I remember. You paid all right, just in a different way.

How did it save your life? Do tell!

I had been driving for about 8 hrs and was on I 495 and had miles of construction with 2 lanes only and nothing but concrete barriers and winding unlevel road surfaces and those concrete walls for miles tend to put you in a trance and making you very tired... Speed was 70 mph and now thankfully 55 mph in that zone.

I nodded off and my head went forward and my left hand slipped off the steering wheel and with much luck hit the regeneration paddle which the hybrid has and that lurch woke me up and instantly all the other bells and whistles kicked in including the patented Honda steering wheel shake and I was inches from hitting the barriers and too my left was a loaded car carrier.

Trust me that will wake you up for hours....if you were drunk you'd be sober...

I said the next rest stop im stopping but the sign said 73 miles to the next one... by then you couldn't get me to sleep if you tried.

Whoa. Dude. That scared me.

I thought most would laugh but it was no joke and thank you Pablo.
It put the fear of God in me as well...
Much appreciated...

I joke about a lot of stuff (adult activities?) but not that.

It's hard for anyone driving to say "stop I'm too tired". I knew a gal, bright, good, nurse, years back - did her odd late shift at hospital, driving home, sleep monster, across two lanes, plowed into incoming truck. Dead. Age 26.

Very, very sad
Especially at 26

Nothing funny there. Wow, scary stuff. Glad you came out okay.

Thanks KC

I’m glad you are OK! I worked a lot of midnight shifts and wondered how I made it home safely. These days I often feel sleepy on my long drives home but I will always stop for some caffeine and occasionally even take a nap in a parking lot!

I drove the Accord tonight the first since I got back. It's superb here in the rolling hills and back roads and the main roads here are stellar. Did a 22 mile trip at 68 mpg overall..

Just not my favorite interstate cruiser....I like the adaptive cc although I only use it on long drives and never daily. Hey it is what it is...

It’s got to go. Stuff doesn’t work, it’s only good on perfect roads and you nearly died in it.

It’s not even green. Adios Honda.

I'm going to have to find the ultimate great mpg interstate cruiser again...
Maybe another F350
