The night I went off the road…

Posted in Jeep by john

It was a dark, cold, rainy night. In fact it was freezing rain. I was heading home from work at about 1130pm. The car in front of me slowed down and pulled onto the shoulder and stopped. I slowed down as I passed to make sure everything was okay and as I proceeded to give Delilah a little more gas my backend began to slide out. The next thing you know I am sliding across the opposite lane and at that point all I can do is ride the slide out and see where I end up. I continued to slide all the way until I was back on my shoulder perpendicular to the direction of the road. Everything turned out ok as all it took to get back rolling again was to turn the 4wd on and crawl slowly the rest of the way down that highway. The rest of the drive wasn’t that icy.
