So my best freind had a bad day this past Sunday.. Driving down "the highway" not sure which, but knowing his usual sunday routine, likely I-71 between downtown Cols, and Worthington, OH
in his words:
"Rainstorm Flooded the highway. left side. Hit a puddle (and all the mud underneath) and Skidded. And then there was a Cherokee Parked (Again, left side of the highway against the median wall, not on right side) waiting the storm out. not enough time to correct though the slide before impact.
And I don't want to Drag that Family...but I thought he left median was for accidents only, and just "stopping" was supposed to be done on the right."
he ended up with a $2k fine for "Failure to control" (good thing he's unemployed ATM..)
Everyone is alright, and luckily he had the airbag recall done a while ago....
He bought that car (2003 Pontiac Vibe) in 2010*, with 120k mi, fresh off a slap together rebuild from a Previous wreck for $5k.
we both put a lot of work into keeping that car going over the years, Didn't quite make 300k mi, or more importantly 299,999 mi when the Odometers stop on these cars.
luckily it's not his only car, he also has a 2012 Mazda 3 that he's making payments on.
* strangely enough just about this time of year in 2010, it was a good runabout for 13 years..
