Death Wish ?
While leaving for work this morning at 6:00 AM, I had to scrape off the windows, and almost slipped down in the driveway getting to my Jeep Liberty. At the end of my road, I wait for 3 oncoming cars who were all doing about 40 MPH on a 2 lane State Route because of the treacherous ice. I pulled out with a litle wheel spin and got up to speed about 100 yards behind the last one in line.
The guy in front of me in a 2WD Ford Ranger starts out around the car in front of him, in a true WTF moment. (I think those words actually escaped my mouth). He made it just around the other car, and kept on going backwards into someone's yard through the ditch, and between trees, and power poles. I slowed down to make sure everyone was OK, but he was already moving/spinning his tires through the yard, and back up onto the road behind me. No more than a minute later, he came barrel assing around me like I was going backwards, and ran up to the car he had just passed, and went around him, and never looked back.....slipping and sliding the whole way.
I was fully expecting to see his smoking vehicle, wheels up, in a field before we got to town, but the Darwin award will have to go elsewhere.
