Disaster Averted

selm · 08-28-2006, 10:20 AM

So yesterday, I went to dinner with my teenage sister-in-law. She had missed lunch and just piled in the food because she was so hungry. Well driving in the car on the way home she says she is going to be sick, but doesn't want to stop by the side of the car because she thinks she can make it home. So I floor it to go the last couple of miles. I am not one to speed, but an exception had to be made. I pull into the drive way reminiscent of Clive Oven in The Star -- well not really but it helps the story. She leaps out of the car, takes one step and throws up. After she felt better, I thanked her to no end for not ruining my interior. She was fine afterwards, but I don't think I will be driving anymore to dinner.

Glad things worked out with you.. That's a hard choice, whether to push it hard to get home faster, or drive slow and smoothly.. You want to get there fast, but you don't want to iniatiate combustion either...

A few weeks ago I was coming home from a rough night and we were cruising in my friends mercedes at about 6am, and then that saliva hits, that different tasting saliva that you know means you're about to puke. It kept coming up in my mouth and I had to have my friend pull over. I didnt puke long, but I sure felt like a million bucks afterwards!!! so we went to denny's

I wonder at which point this story went downhill....When your mom put the dog in the brand new Lincoln or when she fed him a chili dog?

It's just a Lincoln.

It was a very hard choice indeed. Especially because I am not the smoothest of shifters when pushing my car hard.
