True story - Meyer was driving home from his night shift job at 6 AM one Sunday morning. The plows hadn't been out yet, and route 21, a 4-lane divided highway near Akron, had about 6-8 inches of fresh overnight snowfall on it.
Meyer was tooling along at around 40 mph in his 4WD Explorer, minding the conditions of the road. A pair of headlights appeared behind him, closing fairly rapidly. It was a Firebird, intent on making it somewhere before me. I stayed right and let him pass.
A couple of miles farther north, where 21 intersects with I-77, there is a long sweeping curve to the left. As I approached the blind curve, a scene unfolded in front of me - it was the said Firebird pointing the wrong direction, smack dab in the middle of the snowy field, headlights still lit, but the car no longer moving.
I tooted the horn as I tooled on by. Apparently, it was HE that had just gotten the lesson in physics. :)
Apparently, his bucket seats made him unaware of the effects of entering a curve at any speed.
True story. 285 drag facials on the back of a 96 camaro. 18 year old behind the wheel who’s been warned not to drive it in the rain. You can guess the rest. Luckily no injuries and only a broken bumper cover and bent spindle.
