    :dontknow: Pretty obvious what happened here. 1st, God hates I-24 for some reason, and 2nd, this guy woke up in the back of an ambulance, and said, "oh no you don't", and made a jump for it, the lesser of the 2 evils, he thought. I probably would have done something similar, after the "box" stopped moving. Tenneseein' is Tennebelievin',,

    24 ain't bad, once you get well away from Chattanooga...
    The section through town, from the split to 59,absolutely sucks.
    41 becomes your best friend.

    You just have to call and ask for a bid price on the chopper ride .
    They drop the price by 90% if they think you’re comparing prices .
     
    Bean Jr. and 201 Thank this.

    Until you get close to Crashville!;)
    The only quiet part of “Terrible 24” is between Kentucky and Illinois!
