The two trucks were not asphalt burners by any stretch of an over-active imagination so the stream of left lane runners kept me entertained enough to keep from dozing off. That was until a beat to death Chevy pick-up came up along side of me. This gem from GM was making alot of racket. At first, I thought the owner had an annoying muffler system or lack there of!
That thought was shattered when the pick-up got a few feet in front of me and the motor let go creating a huge smoke cloud I slowed down cause I lost sight of the pick-up and the other straight truck. I did have visions that the pick-up would come back across the highway and I would hit it...
The driver did manange to stop on the median. I called the Highway Patrol and noticed the crowd coming up behind me had slowed down during the smoke screen..
When the mechanic and I stopped for coffee and Dunkin Donut break

Is there any other kind?

he told me he could not see the truck I was driving when the pick-up melted down. I did tell him that it had made my night and I just may add the incident to the book of never ending insanity!!!
