it sure is an eye opening experience. Im glad they were both alright, I though about going across the 4 lanes which were barely moving to drive back to the scene until I saw them both out of the car.

after the trooper waved you on he would have probably had issue with you coming back. They can be dicks like that. May have twisted you nipples a bit on you modded jeep  But your heart was in the right place bro and I am sure that wouldn't have mattered for to you or any one of us had no one emerged from the overturned car

To error is to be human; to error and blame it on someone else, that managerial potential.

I can't believe how slick it was. When I was driving in, it was pouring. I made it past the rotary in Stafford and when I started heading up the hill, the rear end of my truck started spinning like crazy. The guy in the Jeep behind me said I did a burnout the whole way up the hill with the truck's butt swinging back and forth. Fortunately, the trailer has brand new meats and stayed pretty stable.

I rode with bob first so I got the line down then drove through. Both bob and I made it through piece of cake. the 4x4groupbuy tj was there. 42" pitbulls on dana 44s, RE 5.5" longarm w/2" spacers and a BL and a whole lot of extra bolt ons:  he got pretty hung up and had a tough time. proof that having the biggest tires is only half the battle

pics will be up later when I stop at home.
Mud Rover and I followed eachother home, saw a couple almost die. Right at the end of 84 there is a nasty blind curve before the tolls, traffic at the tolls right around the corner means people coming around the corner too fast lock up their brakes. well a car just ahead of us chose to brake and swerve to the left going off the road down the median where it flipped sideways, as this happened the car infront of me locked up its wheels, both mud rover and I locked em up which is not fun in a lifted jeep as many of you know. I was too far past in in the 3rd lane but mud rover was able to get over to the 1st last and stop just past the car. The couple climbed out of the upside down car with only scratches on them. Mike (mud rover) told me the guy was saying "I came around the corner and it was dead stopped traffic, I had nowhere to go so I swerved left then we flipped a bunch of times" according to mike it was in a calm voice that seemed to have no concern at all. I had pulled over to the right when I saw him stop where I pulled up next to a state trooper who had a car pulled over. As I stop next to his cruiser and roll my window down he (with his window still closed) starts waving me to go, I point back trying to get him to realize a car was upside down on the other side of the road just out of his view. he continues to wave me past so I give up, he gets out and puts his nice hat on and starts to walk to the car he has stopped as if nothing happened. after hearing people yell and beep he gets back in his car, slowly backs up and maybe 5 minutes after it happened finally drives across to where the car was where he asked the couple who were already out of the car "are there any injuries?" Im just glad the car went to the left, if he had chosen to cut right he would have flipped right infront of me, and swerving in my jeep isnt really an option especially on wet pavement.
thank god they were wearing there seatbelts.if not they would've never servived .pour guy spilt his coffee too.
