drinking and driving (and carla) saved my life tonight.

holy shit :holyshit:

i left my house to go to bar for timmy tour. as i was leaving i got a voicemail from carla reminding me to bring a live recording i did for dustin\'s band that she needed to pick up for him.

i almost got on i-91 from toelles road near exit 13 in wallingford/north haven, but at the last second i decided to go the long way thru north haven and take back roads south and get on a few exits down the road so i would have time to drink a beer and send carla text message letting her know id be there with the discs but i would be there late.

5 mins later and 2 miles down the road my i lose my breaks completely. i was able to drive back home in 1st gear and i made it back safe. if i had gotten on 91 like i normally do and i got up to 70 mph and then lost my brakes i would surely be dead right now and maybe have taken a few others out with me.

that is broseph\'s work at his finest. i am very lucky to be here typing this right now.

[davepeck]

chris, i\'m glad you did not hurt yourself or anyone else as a result of getting on the highway and losing your brakes.

i\'m also glad you did not hurt yourself or anyone else as a result of sending text messages and drinking a beer while driving. :sigh:

::damn!foiled again::

:muahaha:

[derickw]

that actually happened to me once..... but i was getting on the highway. someone slammed on there brakes in front of me and when i went to hit mine the peddle went to the floor.... scary shit.

[Mamalakabubadaya]

yikes!! good thing you are okay. i would say to chill out with the alcohol in the car though. even if you are just having a beer, you never know if someone is going to hit you or what\'s going to happen. a good friend of mine down in va was driving w/ beer in her car and some old lady hit her. she ended up getting charged for having the alcohol, etc.

Yeah I actually did read the post, and I understood if it as meaning her took the back roads so he could drink a beer. If I misunderstood this then Fitz I am sorry

[obsession600]

stuff like this reminds me of why I don\'t miss driving

glad to hear everything turned out okay

yeah, i took back roads to drink a beer. if i had not done that i would have crashed on i-91.

im not even sure why i did that. it was a split second decision to not take the highway. i didnt really even want the beer. opening it just seemed like the right thing to do at the time for some reason.

it happened at like 9:45 and i it took me until after 2 am to finish it off. no joke.
