    I'm still using my two paper towel and rubber band one's the dude at the TA in NJ was giving away.

    They're pretty disgusting.

    So some..........some............some dude tried to kill us a few hours ago.

    Monster 4x4 goes by us doing about 75 or 80.

    We is cruising at 65.

    BOOM. Think he blew a tire. Parts go flying. Breaks my driver side windshield.

    I'm off the throttle, easy on the brakes at BOOM.
    Should have punched it the debris probably would have hit the trailer.

    Anyway, at BOOM he's probably 40 or so feet ahead of us.

    He's not really slowing down, starting to fishtail a bit.

    I says to The OM, " He's gonna roll it."

    Instead he drops into the center median for some reason known only unto Almighty God.

    He's still not really slowing down. I'm picking speed back up now, want him behind me.

    The median is about 5 feet lower than the highway.

    He hits this crossover where DPS sits at about 60.

    His tires were at least 5 feet off the ground when he jumped over it.

    The OM is like," Wow."

    He comes down with a thud. Still probably doing 50ish.

    I swear this dude went full brain lock at BOOM.

    So he's in this GIANT cloud of dust. Dirt everywhere, squirrelly all over, finally slowing down, and i think he rolled it. He was in the mirrors at that point.

    I kept rolling. Dude met me at TTT changed windshield in 18 minutes.

    $225.

    After awhile I counted us as getting out lucky. For a few seconds I figured he was going to Hooper it down the interstate.

    What a dildo though. All he needed to do was slow down and come to a stop.
