Well this was not a fun time on Gratiot on Saturday (Michiganders know what I mean). So I am cruising the local cruising Ave and there is this guy with a Dodge Ram 4x4 lifted a good foot with huge ass tires. Load exhaust too. You know when he hits the gas. Let's not forget the CB anteanna and the yellow woopi lights. He was driving like a jerk for a while showing off with the other trucks. It was a nice truck, great for off road. Well I was trying to get around him and he kept closing the door on me and wouldn't let me pass. I figured ok, I'll just get behind him and hit the next turn around. Just get away from this *****. Well I get behind him and give it some gas to get him to move his ass, and he guns it. HARD. So hard he snapped the drive shaft right in two. Then the yoke went. All kinds of sparks and bits of metal and dirt come flying at me. All he can do is stop and he does so slowly. Just as I look to make sure I am clear to pass him on the right I turn, and the drive shaft goes flying past me. 2 seconds sooner and that would have been my grill or my chest. How the shaft came completely off I have no idea. Maybe it got caght in a pot hole and snapped it. we were doing about 50mph when this happened. But damn, that will make you say your prayers.
All in all I have a couple of very minor chips on my hood. Nothing that won't buff out or can't be filled with color match wax. No worries there. The 4x4 has a good $4k worth of work to it. Should have let me pass him when he had the chance. Karma is a bitch.
