Man do I have a good story... On my way back from my recent trip to Alabama I happened to get into a traffic jam at a complete stop on the Interstate ! In Lousiana there is a 20 mile bridge on I-10 that goes over a very large swampy area. There are 2 bridges... each bridge is 2 lanes with a small sholder and no turnarounds. Well I was stuck in traffic where it took me an hour to make a 5 mile trip over a part of the bridge... I was lucky to get there when I did because traffic was backed up for miles even before the bridge. Well after being very upset for an hour and exhausting my left leg pushing in the clutch every 2 sec because of the slow moving / stopped traffic I finnally got some comic relief when I finaly got to the problem. What I thought was an accident or some sort of emergency construction ended up being neither. It was a red Ford Powerstroke pulling a boat that had broken down in the middle of the road complete with a nice pool of coolant under the truck . When I went by I thought shurely this isn't the problem... then I looked ahead to the open road. Problem is there was no where anyone could pull the truck to so a tow truck was going to have to do the work... hopefully everyone elese that had and hour or more sucked out of there day thought it was as funny as I did.

I travel there all the time, it's right near my house. There's always something broken down on that stretch.

I think it would have been cool if you would have offered him if he needed a tow!
