And then there was the day I was in my '24S, waiting to overtake another car on a road I knew well. With a nice 1/4 mile straight coming up, I just had to wait for an old pick up with a home-built wooden box coming the other way to clear and I dropped two gears and rolled into the throttle. My glance in the left mirror told me he had a load of cement contractor type stuff. My attention to the road ahead showed a concrete building block in my lane! WTF?
A firm bit of threshold braking so the car I wanted to overtake could get ahead of me again, lane change to clear the obstruction and a second maneuver to overtake the slower car.
As I was pulling out to pass the second time, I noted the frost-heaved culvert across the road which, I suspect caused the truck to bounce hard enough to dump the concrete block onto the road. Haven't rednecks heard of tailgates?
I don't think running a 924 into 20 lbs of concrete would have been good for any of the components down there.
