Highway observations....
 

So I'm bring my son back from a swim meet last weekend and saw a few things.

One was a car that was completely on fire. We passed by it 2 or 3 lanes over and could feel the heat with the windows closed. I was really surprised about that. It must suck to lose your car and what ever is in there to a fire.

Second and more disturbing, I saw a SUV on the side of the road with the right side doors open. Looking below the car doors, I see someones bare white a$$ with a load being dropped. :eek: It was like watching a dog take a dump, but it was a human. Why wouldn't they go up in the woods to their business if they had to go that bad?

About a mile down the road I pass an exit with plenty of hotels and gas stations...:rolleyes:

Always carry a fire extinguisher. I had a car burn up on me when i was younger, it sucked.

when you gatta go you gotta go

i hate being out in the wilderness and coming across some idiots pile flagged with the inevitable white flag. dig a damn hole!

You know in some states it's technically legal to take a dump on the side of the road, but talking a leak is against the law. Go figure!

Always carry a fire extinguisher.

Toilet paper is much neater.

i'll remember that one next time i have to take a GROWLER and the inevitable highway patrolman drives up and asks if i need any help!


too damn funny!


there AINT NO WAY IN HELL MY GROWLERS will pass an EPA SUPERFUND HAZ MAT TEST and be LEGAL! just aint gonna happen on a steady diet of slim jims(tabasco), all the orange food groups,pork rinds,ding dongs,ho-ho's,lil debbies and assorted other FINE roadside epicurean DEE-LIGHTS!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

After a big plate of jalapeno nachos and a few beers, the fire extinguisher makes a lot of sense....

Had one partially catch fire. Left a lasting impression on me. Have an extinguisher in every vehicle and more than a few around the house.

I've also learned that you have to teach your wife how to properly use one. Nothing like being woken up to a flaming toaster oven and a screaming wife asking how to get the fire extinguisher to work...lol :rolleyes:

Yes but with YOUR wife at least you guys can figure out what the problem was! :)

I'm going to Charleston in May to check the city out. Hope your experience isn't an everyday occurrence!

you guys with your fire extinguishers and guns...

It is almost like you want to be ready if something bad happens

no just most of us were BOY SCOUTS and learned the golden rule...........BE PREPARED!


or............................as you grow older and WISER........................



always BE PREPARED with a "PLAN Z"! cuz the 25 other best laid plans will all go to poo from experience.


and thats how we get the chicks/the trophy/the medal/key to the city/and a book deal that shoves gazzillions into our pockets.

This happened between Columbia and Greenville, so you're safe in Chucktown!

Since there's somebody from the area on the board... what all is there to do? We planned on going to Atlanta and spending a night there and visiting Savannah. The rest of the time we will probably be in or near Charleston. It's a dual-purpose trip. Go have fun, and see if it's the kind of place we could move to in a year or so.

The biggest adventure is probably downtown. Lots of old homes, bldgs, shops, restaurants, and sites to look at. The aquarium as well. If the weather was warmer, there are plenty of beachs and the Riverdogs baseball team. Patriots Point across the river has the USS Yorktown, a WW II aircraft carrier and Clamagore (sp?) submarine.

I have to admit I'm not a real go out to dinner person, so I can't name any great restaurants. My wife could do it though!

I remember riding in the car with my mom. I must have been somewhere in jr high. We were going down Nichols Canyon, here in LA. Some car was parked in the little (now fenced off) driveway by the power station on the side of the road. The driver's side door was open, and the female driver was buck bush nekkid next to it. I recall asking my mom WTF was that?! (or something to that effect, with slightly different words).

Sorry, no pics.

Sounds like fun. We'll be there in the middle of May. Will the water be warm enough by then?
