so an interesting thing happened to me recently, it involved me, my car (which recently hit 222,222 miles), and a window scraper. Its a long story, so i’m just gonna copy an IM with the story in it.

aboganza321: so im driving home
aboganza321: on the highway
aboganza321: vrooming along
aboganza321: then it starts to snow
aboganza321: im like aw man
aboganza321: but i keep driving
aboganza321: then the roads start getting bad
aboganza321: and so when i try to switch lanes once
aboganza321: my car loses grip and swerves out of control
aboganza321: i slide down the road and then off
aboganza321: and i slam into a snow bank and bury my car in 2 feet of snow
aboganza321: so im like.. uh ok
aboganza321: thank god im uninjured
aboganza321: so i think out what to do
aboganza321: so i get my window scraper
aboganza321: and get outside and start digging myself out
aboganza321: i get all this mud on me
aboganza321: and im desparately shoveling out the snow underneath the car
aboganza321: while the cars still running mind you
aboganza321: so it was quite dangerous and maybe even reckless
aboganza321: so eventually this car pulls over and asks me if i need help
aboganza321: they lend me a shovel and i try to dig out my car more
aboganza321: while they call for a tow
aboganza321: and im digging and trying to reverse my car
aboganza321: the car is just way too stuck in the snow
aboganza321: the couple in the car eventually leaves
aboganza321: and i continue switching between warming myself in the car
aboganza321: and digging out my tires
aboganza321: i even pulled out two table clothes from my trunk in hopes of trying to get better traction
aboganza321: no avail
aboganza321: its been like 30-40 minutes
aboganza321: my feet are frozen
aboganza321: and i keep shoveling
aboganza321: and then finally a tow truck comes
aboganza321: and they pull me out
aboganza321: but only after having to do a u turn on a 2 lane highway with traffic
aboganza321: and so they send me on my way
aboganza321: and then i realize, my suspension was damaged from the accident
aboganza321: and my car wobbles
aboganza321: the whole car shakes when i take it up to 40 mph
aboganza321: er 55
aboganza321: so i end up driving 30 miles to the next service station 10 miles below the speed limit
aboganza321: with a wobbling chassis
aboganza321: i get out, goto the bathroom
aboganza321: clean off some of the crud on my car
aboganza321: check the car
aboganza321: and go on with my trip
aboganza321: and for some reason the wobbling subsided
aboganza321: and i could get up to 65 - normal
aboganza321: so i drive normally
aboganza321: all the way back home
aboganza321: but too bad my windshield wipers don’t work
aboganza321: so its like 7pm
aboganza321: and its dark
aboganza321: real dark
aboganza321: and all my windows are dirty and steamy
aboganza321: so i can only see through a narrow spot on my windshield
aboganza321: and im just so desparate to get home
aboganza321: after almost hitting a divider and a car, i finally make it home
aboganza321: where i’m welcomed with warm cream of mushroom soup
aboganza321: the end
