TDK Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 So "She who must be obeyed" and I are comming back from a Rod Stewart concert late last nite (about 1:15 am). The Big Red Dog is eating vacant desert road at 40-seconds a mile and maybe a few quicker... depends the "limiter" alongside. <_< We were a few minutes past where my friend and neighbor rolled their Chevy S-10 last week (she fell asleep while driving him back from a quadruple bypass) They're OK - since they were belted in, only less one vehicle. PS, very few persons ever nodd off when I'm the pilot (me included). Anyway we are still talking about their accident when a coyote walks out in my lane and stops to take a look at my head lights! I utter the infamous "hang on". She shoves the two weiner dogs on the floor and closes her eyes (I'm a little concerned about any potential "pucker" in her car seat). The BRD scrubs about 60-mph of velocity in a few car lengths - just like the day it was "nutted up". Straight line, no shudder, squeeling or other complaints. Just a thump from the displaced air hitting the hind end (catching up too quickly?) Or maybe that was a weiner dog getting under the dash a bit too much? The 'yote decides I'm not going to swerve or ditch it (where he and family can dine casually later on under a lovely quarter moon, un-interrupted). He moves over a foot or two with a PO'ed look, and perhaps less a few tail hairs. Dang, that's how brakes are supposed to work I guess. I generally avoid using 'em for no good reason (this one qualified). A fine testement to an 11-year ol grampa's car (it just works...) Now, about that "seat pucker" on her side? Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Hank Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Interesting story...., of course your credibility went out the window with the first sentence "comming back from a Rod Stewart concert late last nite", .....does he actually draw a crowd, or is it the Nevada water supply????
