2004-07-01 15:13:27 ET So i about died. I was cruizin' down Foster Rd. in the DART and BACKFIRE! The throttle sticks down(not lke a normal: stuck to the floor. But mechanically fuckered sticks down!!!) and i go speeding 60 mph? or so towards a garbage truck!!!! With a car beside me and on comming traffic in the oncomming lane quickily approaching i kick the gas arm up and shut off the car. Luckily i was going fast enough to pass traffic on my right and coast into a curb. I take a look at her... Sure enough, Carb spring sheered off and pinned down the throttle w./ the excess!!! *whew! Lucky for me there was an automotive repair shop a blk. away where i pick up a new spring for $2. talk about luck! So, how did my day finish out...? I mean it got even more crazier after almost dying....yup. I got pulled over! I forgot to put the headlights on... Luckily for me, i got a cool cop(did i just say that??) He was more about asking me about my car and complimenting me on it than the actual violation(*which he just told me to: "Turn them on, son...") The inner-wiseass in me really wanted to ask him if he wanted to go for a ride! hahahaha!! By the end of the nite, i found myself semi-intoxicated watching the girls dance at Devil's Point and starring temptaion in the eyes like an evil serpant, but declining.... *sigh* I'm too good for my own behalf sometimes............. I must prioritize my needs. |
