This evening, while driving west highway on i10, outside of Beaumont, in all the construction, I saw a puppy jump out of the back of a pickup in the right lane. Brake lights everywhere. The truck in front of me must have been following too close and had to swerve into the right lane to stop. The truck swerved a little and straddled the puppy, just barely clipping him with his rear differential. The puppy walked to the side of the interstate and the truck pulled over on to the shoulder and stopped.

Not the craziest thing I’ve seen, but definitely the most recent.

Saw a dude playing guitar while driving with his knees on cruise control down I-20 between Augusta and Atlanta once.


Do you remember what kind of car it was...



Man, it was probably almost 20 years ago...how long have you been playing guitar and/or driving??

On my way to way to Houston, notice a couple of trashy chicks pass me up going around 90+. I’m now in Beaumont, heavy traffic, all of a sudden the car in front of me slams his brakes. I get around him, the aforementioned trashy chicks are scrambling around after a suitcase and it’s contents that some how flew off/out their car. They’re at a dead stop in the middle of the interstate chasing after every thing. Must have been some great drugs in the suitcase.

Was driving down Corporate Blvd. and when I stopped at the light in front of Mansur's, I noticed the lady next to me put a small tube in her mouth. My initial thought was "hey, I used to have a breathalyzer too." Nope, it was a metal tube meant for making whipped cream, and she was just doing whippits while driving. Tried to get her attention to tell her to shut it down, but she was driving too fast. Finally caught up to her at the Jefferson light, after she crushed 3 whippits that I actually witnessed. When I finally got her attention she told me to "get a job" and sped off. Called the cops, don't know if they ever found her.

At age four I saw a kid on a bike get hit by the car in front of us. The kid was dead within minutes. The memory is imprinted.

One time was driving between Hammond and BR… Mexican in tow put on his brakes hard, but low and behold didn’t have lights hooked up. I had no option to swerve into the median…. Luckily it had recently rained otherwise would have flipped and died… find myself mudding at 60 mph, no guardrails 25 years ago. As I’m about to die and cross over to I-12 East traffic head on… I pull the nascar move and get my tires angled up towards I-12 West…. I gun it, make it back on the road…. This dude pulls up next to me while I’m having a stroke/heart attack/incontinence… cheers me on like crazy. 100% true story, my lab was with me and went from folded down back seat to floorboard of passenger front seat and was shaking like crazy. I had to pull over to compose myself afterwards

Driving back to Nola from LSU as a student with massive piece of cypress driftwood on the back of truck. Car pulls up alongside on Bonne Carre Spillway rolls window down and is yelling at me! Windows are down but I can’t hear her so pull closer and she screams as loud as possible “I want to buy that driftwood!” As she she points to the truck bed.
We pull over in Kenna bruh...
She’s from Nashville... and won’t take no for an answer gives $150 for it

Not something I saw but something that happened to me.

About 20 years ago I was driving on I-49 to work in Lafayette. Just past the overpass in Sunset, the highway curves to the left and then back to the right. I’m in my old Cherokee with cruise control on and it’s drizzling rain. (Yeah I know, dumb move.)

To make it worse, my tires needed replacing as the tread was nearly gone.

So all of a sudden I start fishtailing at about 70. I kill the cruise control but I’ve lost all traction. I steer one way and it starts swerving in the opposite direction, so I correct and it starts all over again. This went on for nearly half a mile.

I’m certain I’m gonna lose it, but miraculously I finally get things straightened out. Surprised I didn’t stain my shorts.

Now whenever it even looks like rain I avoid cruise control.

Guy lost a trailer with a SxS on Coursey. Near Coffee Bean. He was traveling towards Sherwood. Trailer ended up on the fence opposite side of Coursey at the corner with the empty lot.

I've been playing for about 21 years and driving from Augusta to Atlanta about the same

I'm half kidding and half thinking it sounds like something I would have done when I was a teenager

I saw a drive by shooting at a stop light the first time I was in St Louis. I saw Jeff Fisher when I was driving through Nashville. That’s not really “crazy” but I thought it was random.

More hair raising than crazy. Driving through DFW the day after a winter storm. Radio announcements pleading with people to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary, which of course everybody was ignoring. Periodically you'd see these big slabs of ice detach from vehicles and sail through the air like frisbess. Must have weighed 20 or 30 pounds apiece.

This thread reminds me if anyone saw a trailer moving furniture down Greenwell Springs road in Central in the late 80s with panties flying out of the dresser drawer that may have been a friend of mine.

Love stories/threads like these. None as good as y’all’s but…

Driving around rural Oklahoma and came up on a deer caught in a barbed wire fence, totally contorted, blood everywhere. I stopped and got out of my car, some dude on a bike and 2 baws in a truck did the same. We wedged the barbed wire apart just enough and she got her leg unstuck and hauled arse into the woods.

First week of driving after my license, still nervous as shite. Driving to school one morning on a two lane highway and this dickhead behind me was blowing the horn and flipping me off (I was going 5-10 over, but apparently that wasn’t enough). Eventually he goes around me. A minute later I crest a hill and he’s pulled over on the side by 2 cops getting patted down and his car searched. Sweet vindication.

Some black dude threw a plastic bottle of piss at my car on the interstate between Mandeville and BR. Sounded like a gunshot went off when it hit.

Driving home from school one day I saw a flipped over Geo/Chevy Tracker out in a field, vacuum parts and cleaning supplies everywhere, a black suburban also flipped over about 15 feet away, up in flames. Turns out the woman in the little Tracker was our family housekeeper on the way to clean at our place and she hit a guy head on (former MTSU football player). She broke over 30 bones and he obviously burned to death. I had no idea it was her/her car involved. I drove right past it and didn’t put 2+2 together until the next day.

And plenty of your typical road head and lot lizard nonsense on road trips.

A friend wanted to borrow my grill because his folks were coming to town and he wanted to do a cookout. It was a big Charbroil charcoal grill and he helped me load it onto my little Toyota truck. I asked him to sit in the back and make sure it didn't tip over. We didn't have far to go, but apparently we hit the magic speed and the top of the grill flew open. I realized this by the big, black cloud I saw in my mirror. I quickly pulled over, got out and saw my friend, now in black-face, clothes too. I laughed. He didn't.

Was in Gonzales this morning in front of the post office. Saw a drug deal go down. About the third time since June in that location. I could think of more secluded areas to drop dope besides fairwood.
