    Especially when it’s been a little soggy for a few days. This guy could’ve continued east for 6 miles or so to an exit and flipped around and came back. Instead he blocked the eastbound lanes of I-80 and could’ve caused an accident. He’s lucky someone had a chain to pull him back out of his mess.

    Since he didn't cause an accident, I'm going to laugh at him.

    That was so bad I couldn't even finish it. All I kept thinking was "there's a big ol' driveway on the left, why TF didn't he use it?"
